Guideline:
OECD Guideline 403 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity)
Deviations:
not applicable
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The LC50 of rats exposed to TK-12824 was determined in an acute toxicity inhalation study. Animals were exposed (nose only) for four hours to 1.2, 3.0 and 6.0 mL/hr. A control goup was also provided. Animals were observed for 14 days for any adverse effects, at the end of which animals were sacrificed and underwent necropsy. An LC50 value was calculated based on the observed mortality of the treated animals.

Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Inhalation cylinder (with a THERM 2104 contact thermometer, a VERSELA Humidity Indicator HM 11 and a DRAEGER E 15 stationary control system to determine oxygen content)
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Animals were kept in seperate PVC tubes positioned radially around the exposure chamber such that snouts and nostrils of the animals only were exposed to the aerosols.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The aerosol was generated by injecting the liquid test material at a rate of 1.2, 3.0 and 6.0 mL/hr into an air stream which was discharged into the exposure chamber through a spray nozzle under a pressure of 2 atm. at a rate of 10 L/min.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: Please refer to table 1 under section Any other information on material and methods incl. tables.

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The concentration and the particle size distribution of the aerosol in the vicinity of the animals were monitored at regular intervals throughout the aerosol exposure. The concentrations was determined 5 times gravimetrically by sampling the test atmosphere through a selection filter of 50 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 µm at an air flow at an air flow rate of 10 L/min. The size distribution of the particles was measured twice with a four stage cascade Impactor with selectron filters of 25 mm and with a pore size of 0.2 µm at an air flow rate of 17.5 L/min.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: No, measured within the vicinity of the animals.

VEHICLE
A vehicle control was employed for comparison
- Composition of vehicle (if applicable): 50% acetone-ethanol (W/W) diluted 1:1 in distilled water.

Results and discussion

Effect level:
941 mg/m³ air
Based on:

95% CL:
750 - 1 283
Exp. duration:
4 h
Mortality:
No deaths occurred in the control, vehicle control of the 247 mg/m^3 exposure group. One male died on Day 10 of the observation period after exposure to 1060 mg/m^3, whereas, 7 females were found dead between 6 hours and 7 days after exposure to the same concentration.
Clinical signs:
other: The surviving animals recovered within 9 to 13 days after the exposure period. Exposure to 247 mg/m^3 elicited slight to moderate sedation and dysponea as well as slight ruffled fur and curved body position. The same symptoms were noted after exposure to
Body weight:
Because of the initial body weight differences, it was not possible to make a meaningful statistical comparison between control and exposure groups in regard to body weight difference. Body weight gains were not within normal limits for control rats only exposed to air. Body weight gains for animals exposed to 247 mg/m^3 were comparable to the acetone-ethanol control group. However, Day 1 to 7, body weight gains were significantly depressed for rats of both sexes for rats of both sexes exposed to 561 mg/m^3 compared to vehicle control animals (P < 0.05). Although body weight gains for male rats exposed to 561 mg/m^3 exposure groups was not equal to the acetone-ethanol exposed rats. Significant mortality in the 1068 mg/m^3 test group prevented meaningful comparisons.
Gross pathology:
No gross pathology was noted in the control or acetone-ethanol control groups at necropsy. Although no gross lesions were noted in males exposed to 247 mg/m^3, 3 females exhibited a reddish colouration of the lungs. Areas of discolouration of the lungs were noted in one male exposed to 561 mg/m^3 of the test material. No changes were noted in the lungs of females exposed to this concentration however, a lump was observed in the liver of 1 female as well as areas of discolouration in the liver of another.
Areas of discolouration of the lungs were noted in 3 males and 3 females exposed to 1068 mg/m^3.
In addition, several changes in the liver were noted, described as multiple lumps (1 male and 1 female) and a small mass with areas of dicolouration (1 male) in the liver of this exposure group. One female was also noted to have areas of discolouration of the bladder as well as 2 females exhibiting enlargement of the adrenal glands. All rats of this group exhibited loss of hair around the muzzle.
