Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 20 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Three deaths, two male (day 10 and 13) and one female (day 8), occurred during the study.
Clinical signs:
other: Twenty-four hours after administration of the test material, all rabbits exhibited erythema with three of the eight rabbits also exhibiting oedema. The irritation on all dose application sites returned to normal by day three and remained so throughout the
Gross pathology:
Gross necropsies of animals deceased during the study revealed salivation, diarrhoea, injection of the stomach, small intestines, cecum and colon, dark red areas of the lungs, numerous white masses in the liver and numerous white masses throughout the body cavity. The gross necropsies of the rabbits which survived the 14 day study period revealed diarrhoea, nasal discharge, dark red spots on the lungs, numerous small white masses on the liver, colon distended by gas enlargement and discolouring of the gall bladder.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
An LD50 value of >20000 mg/kg bw is reported in a reliable study conducted according to a guideline similar to OECD Test Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP.
