Description of key information
In the key acute oral toxicity study for HEBMP-xNa, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP, the LD50 value was concluded to be greater than 2246 mg/kg body weight (equivalent to 2000 mg active salt/kg body weight, equivalent to 1580 mg/kg body weight active acid, see Note 1) (Harlan Laboratories, 2012a).
In the acute dermal toxicity study for HEBMP-xNa, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, the LD50 value was concluded to be greater than 2246 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg active salt/kg bodyweight, equivalent to 1580 mg/kg bw active acid, see Note 1) (Harlan Laboratories, 2012b).
In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity study via the inhalation route (required in Section 8.5.2) does not need to be conducted as reliable data via the oral and dermal routes are available.
Note 1: the calculation of results in terms of active acid equivalent was done as follows: LD50 >2246 mg/kg body weight is equivalent to 2000 mg/active ingredient/kg body weight due to the presence of 11% water, which was corrected by the performing laboratory. Assuming the study was conducted at neutral pH, this would be equivalent to a predominance of HEBMP-3Na based on pKa values. The result has been corrected to the equivalent dose of active acid using a using molecular weight conversions:
MW HEBMP acid (249.1 g/mol) / MW HEBMP-3Na (315.04 g/mol) = 0.79
[when taking the average of the Molecular Weights for the cyclic and linear forms of the substances]
Therefore 2000 mg HEBMP-3Na/kg * 0.79 = 1580 mg HEBMP acid/kg body weight

- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Female Wistar (RccHan:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The animals were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatisation period of at least five days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were eight to twelve weeks of age. The bodyweights fell within an interval of ±20% of the mean initial bodyweight of the first treated group.
The animals were housed in groups of three in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately three to four hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25°C and 30 to 70% respectively. Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 224.6 mg/ml
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The test item contains 10.95% water. For the purposes of the study the concentration was corrected for this. The test item was freshly prepared, as required, as a solution at the appropriate concentration in distilled water.
The test item was formulated within two hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.
All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential.
Sufficient time was allowed between each group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals. - Doses:
- 2246 mg/kg (Equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bodyweight)
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 females at dose level of 2246 mg/kg (2000 mg ai/kg)
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days.
Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to dosing and seven and fourteen days after treatment.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross pathological examination. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities for examination of major organs. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained. - Sex:

- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Five male and five female Wistar (RccHan:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non pregnant. After an acclimatisation period of at least five days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink-marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals weighed at least 200 g, and were eight to twelve weeks of age. The weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean weight for each sex.
The animals were housed in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24 Hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study. Free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25°C and 30 to 70% respectively. Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- PREPARATION OF TEST ITEM:
The test item contains 10.95% water. For the purposes of the study the test item concentration was corrected for this. The test item was weighed out according to each animal's individual bodyweight and moistened with distilled water prior to application.
The absorption of the test item was not determined.
TEST SITE
On the day before treatment the back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair.
Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, a group of five male and five female rats was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2246 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bodyweight).
The appropriate amount of test item, moistened with distilled water, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area). A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. The animals were caged individually for the 24-Hour exposure period. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were
securely in place.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
After the 24-Hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test item. The animals were returned to group housing for the remainder of the study period. - Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 2246 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bodyweight).
- No. of animals per sex per dose:

Additional information
In the key acute oral toxicity study for HEBMP-xNa, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP, the LD50 value was concluded to be greater than 2246 mg/kg body weight (equivalent to 2000 mg active salt/kg body weight, equivalent to 1580 mg/kg body weight active acid) (Harlan Laboratories, 2012a).
In the study, a group of three fasted females was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2246 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bodyweight). This was followed by a further group of three fasted females at the same dose level. The test item was administered orally as a solution in distilled water. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There were no deaths during the 14-day study period. There were no signs of systemic toxicity. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
A supporting acute oral toxicity study was read-across from HEBMP-H (CAS 5995-42-6), conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP, in which an LD50 of 500-1000 mg/kg bw (equivalent to 250-500 mg/kg bw pure substance) was concluded (SafePharm, 2003). Two animals treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw were found dead or killed in extremis two hours or one day after dosing. There were no deaths at a dose level of 300 mg/kg bw. Signs of toxicity noted at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw were hunched posture, ataxia, decreased respiratory rate, gasping, laboured and noisy respiration, loss of righting reflex, piloerection, ptosis, pallor of the extremities and red/brown staining around the eyes. One animal treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw was comatose one hour after dosing. There were no signs of toxicity at a dose level of 300 mg/kg bw. The surviving animals showed expected gains in body weight over the study period. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal that was found dead two hours after dosing were haemorrhagic lungs, dark liver, dark kidneys, haemorrhage of the non-glandular region of the stomach and severe haemorrhage of the gastric mucosa and small and large intestines. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal that was killed in extremis one day after dosing were haemorrhage of the gastric mucosa and gaseous stomach and small and large intestines. The effects noted during the study and at necropsy were considered to be secondary to local effects of the substance based on the known pH (<2). No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.
In the acute dermal toxicity study for HEBMP-xNa, conducted according to
OECD Test Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, the LD50 value was
concluded to be greater than 2246 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000
mg active salt/kg bodyweight, equivalent to 1580 mg/kg bw active acid,
see Note 1 above) (Harlan Laboratories, 2012b). A group of ten animals
(five males and five females) was given a single, 24-hour, semi‑occluded
dermal application of the test item to intact skin at a dose level of
2246 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg
bodyweight). Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored
during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There
were no deaths. There were no signs of systemic toxicity. There were no
signs of dermal irritation. Animals showed expected gains in bodyweight,
except for one female which showed no gain in bodyweight during the
first week but expected gain in bodyweight during the second week. No
abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
