Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No data is available on 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate.
The available studies on acute oral and acute dermal toxicity of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate (S1) show that the substance has low acute toxicity with an oral LD50 in rats > 5000 mg/kg, and low dermal toxicity with an dermal LD50 in rats > 2000 mg/kg bw. These values are considered relevant for 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate (T) as well.
No data is available on inhalation toxicity on neither2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate nor 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate.

The substance was giving orally dissolved in olive oil, total volume was 5 and 10 ml/kg bw, which is acceptable according to the OECD guideline. Several clinical signs were observed, such as dyspnoea, shaggering, shaggy fur, redness of skin and hemi paralysis. The symptoms gradually ceased within hours to two days, except shaggy fur in the highest dose. No mortality was observed at any of the doses, therefore the acute LD50 value is above 5000 mg/kg.

- Executive summary:
No data is available for 2-Phenoxyethyl methacrylate (T).
LD50 was determined to be above 5000 mg/kg in an acute oral toxicity study with exposure of rats to 2 -phenoxyethyl acrylate (S1) in accordance with OECD Guideline study 401. Due to the close chemical similarity to 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate this value may be considered relevant for this substances as well.

Additional information
The available studies on acute toxicity of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate show that the substance has low acute toxicity. No mortality was observed in the studies available (oral and dermal). In the oral toxicity study using single dose levels of 2150 and 5000 mg/kg, several clinical signs of toxicity were observed including dyspnoea, shaggering, shaggy fur, redness of skin and hemi paralysis. The symptoms gradually ceased within hours to two days except for the highest dose level. In the dermal toxicity study, rats were given 2000 mg/kg as a single dermal exposure. Neither clinical signs nor macroscopic abnormalities were observed. A slight or well defined erythema was observed at the site of application on day 2. No other dermal changes were observed and irritation had resolved at day 3.
Overall, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate demonstrates a low acute oral and dermal toxicity. No inhalation study is available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study is an OECD Guideline 401 study
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
No inhaltion study available. Annex VIII requirement for second
exposure route is fulfilled as both an acute oral and an acute dermal
expossure study is availabe.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
The study was performed according to EU Method B 3, under GLP
conditions
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on acute toxicity indicate that 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate should not be classified as acute toxic.
Due to very close structural similarity to 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate, this substance should not be classified for acute toxicity.
