Description of key information
Acute toxicity, oral:
A LD50 value in rats of 283 mg/kg for p-TSH (T) is indicated in the ChemIDplus database, however, no specific reference is indicated and thus the validity of this information cannot be assessed.
For OBSH (S1) an oral LD50-value in the range of 1000-2000 mg/kg was found fromin vivotesting. As hydrolysis is considered to occur at a lower level for p-TSH, the metabolite hydrazine (which has a higher acute toxic potential) is considered to have less impact on the toxicity than for OBSH. Thus, the acute toxic potential can be estimated to be within the same range as for OBSH.
Based on this p-TSH should be classified as Acute tox 4 H302.
Acute toxicity, dermal:
No data available for p-TSH and OBSH.
Due to the relatively low acute toxic potential by oral exposure there is no indication of specific concern for acute dermal toxicity.
Acute toxicity, inhalation:
No data available for p-TSH.
For OBSH an inhalation LC50-value is above 5 mg//L as no mortality was observed in rats at this exposure level.
Based on this, and due to close structural similarity to p-TSH and also based on slower hydrolysis of p-TSH no concern for acute inhalational toxicity of p-TSH is to be expected. Thus, no classification applies to this endpoint.

- Executive summary:
No data is available for Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T).
The acute oral toxicity of OBSH was assessed in rats following a single administration of OBSH. Two studies were performed in compliance with OECD guideline 401. In one study the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of OBSH was estimated to be between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw. In another OECD TG 401 study in rats the LD50 of OBSH was estimated to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
According to CLP criteria OBSH should be classified as Acute tox 4; H302. Due to the close chemical similarity to Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide this value may be considered relevant for this substances as well.

- Executive summary:
The acute inhalation toxicity of 4,4’Oxybis(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide) (OBSH) was evaluated in accordance to OECD 436 in both sexes of Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were assigned to two groups (3 animals/sex/group) and were exposed nose-only to target concentrations of 1.00 mg/L (1st step exposure) or 5.00 mg/L (2nd step exposure) for 4 hours.
The mean exposure concentration (actual concentration) of OBSH for the 1st step and 2nd step were 1.06 ± 0.07 mg/L and 4.78 ± 0.30 mg/L for 4 hours, respectively. Mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMADs) were 2.22 and 2.26 μm and geometric standard deviations (GSDs) were 2.02 and 1.92 for 1st step exposure, respectively. Mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMADs) were 2.47 and 2.48 μm and geometric standard deviations (GSDs) were 2.00 and 2.03 for 2nd step exposure, respectively.
No unscheduled death were seen as well as no clinical signs or gross changes. Transient body weight decreases were observed in males and females of 1st and 2nd exposure groups at Day 2 but it was recovered afterward.
In conclusion, no effects were seen, thus the LC50 was > 5.00 mg/L (actual concentration 4.78 mg/L) and GHS criteria for classification was not meet in this study.

Additional information
The acute oral toxicity of OBSH was assessed in rats following a single administration of OBSH. Two studies were performed in compliance with OECD guideline 401.
In one study, groups of five males and five female fasted rats were given OBSH as a single dose by oral gavage at a dose level of 0, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/kg. OBSH was administered in corn oil. LD50 was just above 2000 mg/g bw. In another study, groups of five males and five female fasted rats were given OBSH as a single dose on Day 1 by oral gavage at a dose level of 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg. OBSH was administered in corn oil. Based on the results from these studies, the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of OBSH was estimated to be between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw under the test conditions.
The acute inhalation toxicity of OBSH was evaluated in accordance to OECD 436 in both sexes of Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were assigned to two groups (3 animals/sex/group) and were exposed nose-only to target concentrations of 1.00 mg/L (1st step exposure) or 5.00 mg/L (2nd step exposure). No effects were seen, thus the LC50 was > 5.00 mg/L (actual concentration 4.78 mg/L) and GHS criteria for classification was not meet.
No reliable dermal acute toxicity study is available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study is a key study
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
The study is a key study
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
A dermal toxicity study (reliability score 4) is available using 200 mg/kg of OBSH. No effeccts were seen after 24 hours. The original reference is not available. This study was not conducted according to GLP standard.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to CLP criteria the source substance OBSH (S1) and therefore also the target substance Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T) should due to the oral LD50 value in the range of 1000-2000 mg/kg bw be classified as Acute tox 4; H302.
