- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 13.0 g/Kg Body weight
DOSE RANGE FINDING INVESTIGATION:
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In order to establish an appropriate dose range three groups of Wistar rats, each compromising 1 male and 1 female, were dosed with a single oral dose of the test substance at 5000, 4200 and 3200 mg/Kg body weight, respectively. The female of the 4200 mg/Kg group was found dead on day 1. All animals showed signs of systemic toxicity (apathy, and reduced locomotive activity). As of day 1 no more abnormalities were observed during the 9-day observation period. Macroscopic examination at autopsy of the animal found dead showed bloody contents of the ileum; surviving animals revealed no gross abnormalities at autopsy. - Doses:
- Single oral dose of the test substance at 4.2, 7.4 and 13.0 g/Kg body weight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of weighing: Day 0, 7 and 14

- Mortality:
- In the low dose group 2 out of 10 animals died, in the medium dose group 7 out of 10 and in the high dose group 10 out of 10. There was insufficient data to assess a sex related effect. All deaths occurred within 3 days of dosing.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Signs of toxicity were apathy, reduced locomotive activity, labored breathing, tremors, or reduced or bloody faecal excretion. For surviving animals these signs were reversible since as of day 4 no more abnormalities were observed during the 14 days obser
- Gross pathology:
- Macroscopic observations at autopsy of animals found dead after day 1 revealed in 3 males and 4 females petechiae or haemorrhages of the stomach wall. In addition, 1 male and 4 females showed superficial liver necrosis in areas adjacent to the stomach, and 4 females showed marked haematuria. These findings were indicative of stomach perforation and damage to the urogenital tract, respectively. In 10 animals found dead on day 1 and in all animals sacrificed at the end of observation period, no treatment related gross abnormalities were observed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified
- Remarks:
- according to the EU classification criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP)
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 value of Ketjenflex 8 for the sexes combined amounted to approximately 5.8 g/kg body weight with a 95% confidence limit (4.4 -7.4 g/Kg body weight).
- Executive summary:
Three groups of Wistar rats, each comprising of 5 males and 5 females, received a single oral dose of ketjenflex 8 at 4.2, 7.4 and 13.0 g/Kg body weight, respectively. In the low dose group 2 out of 10 animals died, in the medium dose group 7 out of 10 and in the high dose group 10 out of 10. There was insufficient data to assess a sex related effect. All deaths occurred within 3 days of dosing. Signs of toxicity were apathy, reduced locomotive activity, labored breathing, tremors, or reduced or bloody faecal excretion. For surviving animals these signs were reversible, at day 4 no more abnormalities were observed during the 14 days observation. Animals found dead showed body weight loss whereas surviving animals showed normal weekly body weight gain. Macroscopic observations at autopsy of animals found dead after day 1 revealed petechiae or haemorrhages of the stomach wall, superficial liver necrosis in areas adjacent to the stomach, and marked haematuria. These findings were indicative of stomach perforation and damage to the urogenital tract. Animals found dead on day 1 and in all animals sacrificed at the end of the study showed no treatment related gross abnormalities were observed. While the calculated LD50 for males and female were 6.9 mg/kg bw (95% CI: 5.9 - 10.0 mg/kg bw) and 4.8 mg/kg bw (95% CI: 0 - 7.5 mg/kg bw) respectively. The acute oral LD50 for the substance in male and female rats was determined to be 5.8 g/kg bw with 95% CI of 4.4 -7.4 mg/kg bw.
As a result, the substance N-Ethyl-o (or p)-toluenesulfonamide (NETSA) does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
