- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of DMAD was evaluated in six male rabbits. The study was conducted prior to development of the guidelines and GLP, has several deficiencies, but is considered to be adequate for the purposes of hazard classification. The test material was injected under a rubber sleeve fastened around the animal. Dose levels were 2, 4 and 8 mL/kg bw (2 rabbits/dose). The rubber sleeve was held in place for 24 hours, and the rabbits were observed for 2 weeks following exposure. One rabbit exposed to 2 mL/kg bw and one rabbit exposed to 8 mL/kg bw died during week 1. All surviving rabbits lost weight during week 1, and one rabbit also lost weight during week 2. The LD50 was reported to be 8 mL/kg bw. Based on a relative density of 0.891, the dermal LD50 is 7128 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Value:
- 7 128 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- An older study is available for the submission substance. The study is not fully comparable with current guidelines but is considered to be adequate for the purposes of hazard classification. The study is supported by an older non-standard data.
Additional information
The acute oral toxicity of DMATO was evaluated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The test material was administered by gavage at dose levels of 5, 10 or 20 g/kg bw. The rats were observed for 14 days after dosing. One female and one male died at the limit dose of 5 g/kg bw. All females administered 10 or 20 g/kg bw died within 1 week of dosing. One male administered 10 g/kg bw died on day 3, and all males administered 20 g/kg bw died within 1 week of dosing. The estimated oral LD50 for females was between 5 and 10 g/kg bw, and for males was between 10 and 20 g/kg bw. An acute oral LD50 of >5000 mg/kg bw is reported for the rabbit.
The acute dermal toxicity of DMATO was evaluated in six male rabbits. The study was conducted prior to development of the guidelines and GLP, has several deficiencies, but is considered to be adequate for the purposes of hazard classification. The test material was injected under a rubber sleeve fastened around the animal. Dose levels were 2, 4 and 8 mL/kg bw (2 rabbits/dose). The rubber sleeve was held in place for 24 hours, and the rabbits were observed for 2 weeks following exposure. One rabbit exposed to 2 mL/kg bw and one rabbit exposed to 8 mL/kg bw died during week 1. All surviving rabbits lost weight during week 1, and one rabbit also lost weight during week 2. The LD50 was reported to be 8 mL/kg bw. Based on a relative density of 0.891, the dermal LD50 is 7128 mg/kg bw. Other data report LD50 values of >5000 mg/kg bw in the mouse and >500 mg/kg bw in the rabbit.
The acute toxicity of the substance via the intravenous and intraperitoneal routes of exposure was investigated in the mouse and rabbit. Following intravenous administration, signs of toxicity including reduced activity, weakness, anaesthesia, laboured breathing, cyanosis, collapse, convulsions and oronasal haemorrhage were observed in the mouse and rabbit. Similar signs were seen following intraperitoneal administration but were more delayed and anaesthesia/analgesia was more prominent. Intravenous LD50 values of 300 mg/kg bw and 70 mg/kg bw are reported for the mouse and rabbit, respectively. Intraperitoneal LD50 values of 1200 mg/kg bw and >2000 mg/kg bw are reported for the mouse and rabbit, respectively.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
More reliable study in the preferred experimental species
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
More reliable study in the preferred experimental species
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification for acute oral or acute dermal toxicity according to the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) or the CLP Regulation (1272/2008) is not triggered by the results of the available studies.
