Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Undiluted Cocamide DEA was tested on SD rats and found to have an LD50 of 12.2 g/kg and a 95% confidence limit of 10.7-14.4 ml/kg.

(Cocamide DEA (Amides, coco, N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) is the ethanol derivative rather than the propionate equivalent, which is the substance under review. It is essentially the same structural formula with an ethyl group instead of a propyl group and as such is assessed as being a good surrogate substance for read-across in the absence of actual oral toxicity data on the substance itself.)

It is not thought necessary to advise that further animal testing should be carried out.

Remarks:

data taken from a CIR review paper. Full details are not disclosed and the test was 1983 so GLP not necessarily required at that time.
