Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products

Administrative data

Endpoint:

stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

supporting study

Study period:

2012-03-21 - 2012-05-23

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

GLP guideline study, however no analysis was carried out to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulations. The test item was formulated within two hours of being administered; it is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration. This exception is considered not to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.

Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: The study was performed according to the Study Plan and was designed to provide information for further repeated dose toxicity studies.

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of three male and three female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats, for fourteen consecutive days, at dose levels of 50, 250 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. A control group of three males and three females was dosed with vehicle alone (Arachis oil BP).

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

- Other:
Description: Amber coloured liquid
Label: Performance Additive (1,3,4-Thiadiazolidine-2,5-dithione, reaction products with hydrogen peroxide and tert-nonanethiol)

For the purpose of this study, the test item was prepared at the appropriate concentrations as a solution in Arachis oil BP.
The test item was formulated within two hours of it being administered. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Observation during an experimental result from a repeated dose study (14-days, oral route, rats). The test substance was found to be stable in Arachis oil BP.

Executive summary:

The oral administration of 1,3,4-Thiadiazolidine-2,5-dithione, reaction products with hydrogen peroxide and tert-nonanethiol to rats by gavage, at dose levels of 50, 250 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, did not result in any toxicologically significant effects in treated animals (Harlan, 2012). The 'No Observed Effect Level' (NOEL) was therefore considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The test substance was found to be stable in Arachis oil BP, which was used as vehicle.
