Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
no mortalities
Clinical signs:
other: decreased spontaneous activity, coat bristling, squatting posture, stilted gait, irregular respiration
Gross pathology:
Dissection of rats killed at the end of the observation period revealed no macroscopic findings execpt in one case (male rat). The macroscopic finding of that animal revealed connation (intergrowth) between the stomach with liver, spleen, pancreas and abdominal wall most probably caused by the corrosive properties of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose of Dodecylamine (LD50) was greater 2000 mg per kg body weight. Based on the result of this study Dodecylamine is not subject for labelling and classification requirements according to regulatory requirements
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study according to OECD TG 401, the test material Genamin 12 R 100 D was orally applied to 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats using sesame oil as a vehicle at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. After treatment no mortalities occurred during the observation period of 14 days. The LD50 was established at > 2000 mg/kg for both male and female animals. Clinical signs included squatting posture, stilted gait, irregular breathing, and reduced spontaneous activity. Symptoms started between 10-60 minutes after onset of treatment and were present until day 6 (female animals) or day 9 (male animals). Gross pathology revealed no findings except in one male animal. This animal showed partly connation of stomach epithelia with lobes of liver, spleen, pancreas and abdominal wall which was most probably caused by the corrosive properties of the test material..
