Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Sodium pyruvate
EC Number:
204-024-4
EC Name:
Sodium pyruvate
Cas Number:
113-24-6
Molecular formula:
C3H4O3.Na
IUPAC Name:
sodium 2-oxopropanoate
Test material form:
solid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
he SP (P2256, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved in sterile water (500 mg=mL, 4.5 M, pH 7.4) immediately prior to scheduled injections.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
other: intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
water
Details on dermal exposure:
Animals received an injection of sodium pyruvate (500 or 1000 mr/kg bw).
Doses:
500 mg/kg bw
1000 mg/kg bw
3x 1000 mg/kg bw hourly
No. of animals per sex per dose:
at least 5 per dose

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 3 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
not observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Even with three hourly intraperitoneal injections of sodium pyruvate no deaths occured.
The uptake during dermal exposure with the same amount of substance would be lower. As a worst-case assumption it can be stated that the LC50, dermal is >= 3000 mg/kg bw.
