Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity: The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) for target chemical was considered based on different experimental studies conducted on rats and mice, the LD50 values were considered in between 5000-10000 mg/kg bw in mice, and 6800 mg/kg bw in rats. These studies concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) for test chemical was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats, the LC50 value was considered to be >5 mg/L (>5000 mg/m3) in rats. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute inhalation toxicity.
Acute Dermal toxicity:The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) for test chemical was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats and rabbits, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw in rats, and rabbits. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

The female mouse appeared unaffected by the treatment. At 5000 mg/kg – The mice were showing signs of stress and exhibiting lacrimation within 30 mins after treatment and within 2 hours somnolence and laboured breathing was also observed. These mice were comatose within 18-42 hours after treatment. The surviving mice continued to show signs of stress throughout the 7 day observation period. At 10000 mg/kg – The mice were showing signs of stress and exhibiting lacrimation within 30 mins after treatment and within 2 hours somnolence and laboured breathing was also observed. These mice were comatose within 18-42 hours after treatment. Surviving animals gained weight during the 7 day observation period and presented a normal appearance at autopsy. Autopsy of the animals that died revealed gaseous distension and irritation of the stomach and intestines. The mice dying after 48 hours and later had pale soft rose-pink livers, pale spleens and mottled kidneys. Hemorrhaging was also present in the ileum of these mice.

The acute inhalation study of test compound was conducted in albino rat under the OECD-Guideline -403 for testing of chemicals. In limit test, ten healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization. The test group of animals was exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L for period of 4 hrs. After exposure all the animals were closely observed for clinical signs of toxicity at various internals such as 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs on the day of test compound aerosol exposure and later on twice a day throughout the experimentation period of 14 days. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at termination of experiment. All the albino rats exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L did not show any clinical signs of intoxication. Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at the termination of study did not show any gross pathological changes. In confirmatory test, after 72 hrs, the result obtained from limit test was confirmed in another 10 animal of both sex at similar concentration following same guideline. Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization. The test groups of animals were exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L for period of 4 hrs. After exposure all the animals were closely observed for clinical signs of toxicity at various internals such as 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs on the day of test compound aerosol exposure and later on twice a day throughout the experimentation period of 14 days. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at termination of experiment. All the albino rats exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L did not show any clinical signs of intoxication. Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation. The body weight of animals exposed to test compound, observed on day 0th (pre treatment) and day 7th (post treatment) did not differ significantly as compared to day 0th. Whereas, body weight of animals observed on day 14th showed slight increase as compared to day 0 and 7th. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at the termination of study did not show any gross pathological changes. Hence, the acute lethal Concentration (LC50) of test compound in wister albino rats was considered to be >5 mg/L. The result obtained from present investigation can be concluded that test compound test chemical is acutely non toxic to wistar albino rats.

- Executive summary:
Acute dermal toxicity study of test chemical was conducted as per OECD No.402 in Wistar Rats. Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the surgical gauze patch was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed. The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Bodyweights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. No clinical signs and any skin reaction were observed throughout the experimental period in all treated animals. The male and female animals were observed with body weight gain compared to day 0 throughout the experiment. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality. Therefore, under the conditions of this; the acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was > 2000 mg/kg body weight. It can be concluded that test compound is acutely non toxic to wistar rats.

In different experimental studies, test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and mice for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
The acute oral toxicity of test chemical was tested in 10 male and female White mice at thedose concentration of 2000, 5000 and 10000 mg/kgbw. The given test chemical was dissolved as 20% w/v solutionin groundnut oil and administered via oral gavage route. The animals were observed for signs of toxicity for 7 days. Survivors were weighed before killing for post-mortem examination at the end of the one week observation period. All animals dying were autopsied. All survivors were killed and examined post mortem after 7 days.The approximate LD50 value is estimated from the results and the test substance is given a toxicity rating according to Hodge and Sterner's classification. Mortality was observed as - At 2000 mg/kg – No mortality was observed. At 5000 mg/kg – 1 mouse died within 24 hours and 1 mouse died within 96 hours after treatment. At 10000 mg/kg – Both the mice were died within 48 and 66 hours. Clinical signs were observed such as - At 2000 mg/kg – The male mouse was somnolent, showing signs of stress and exhibiting labored breathing within 18 hours after treatment but recovered within 42 hours. The female mouse appeared unaffected by the treatment. At 5000 mg/kg – The mice were showing signs of stress and exhibiting lacrimation within 30 mins after treatment and within 2 hours somnolence and laboured breathing was also observed. These mice were comatose within 18-42 hours after treatment. The surviving mice continued to show signs of stress throughout the 7 day observation period. At 10000 mg/kg – The mice were showing signs of stress and exhibiting lacrimation within 30 mins after treatment and within 2 hours somnolence and laboured breathing was also observed. These mice were comatose within 18-42 hours after treatment. Surviving animals gained weight during the 7 day observation period and presented a normal appearance at autopsy. Autopsy of the animals that died revealed gaseous distension and irritation of the stomach and intestines. The mice dying after 48 hours and later had pale soft rose-pink livers, pale spleens and mottled kidneys. Hemorrhaging was also present in the ileum of these mice. Therefore, LD50 value was considered in between 5000-10000 mg/kg bw, when 10 male and female White mice were treated with test chemical via oral gavage route.
The above experimental study is supported with the study mentioned in peer-reviewed journal, handbook and authoritative database, for the target chemical.Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 6800 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed at 6800 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be 6800 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute inhalation toxicity:
The acute inhalation study of test compound was conducted in albino rat under the OECD-Guideline -403 for testing of chemicals. In limit test, ten healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization. The test group of animals was exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L for period of 4 hrs. After exposure all the animals were closely observed for clinical signs of toxicity at various internals such as 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs on the day of test compound aerosol exposure and later on twice a day throughout the experimentation period of 14 days. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at termination of experiment. All the albino rats exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L did not show any clinical signs of intoxication. Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at the termination of study did not show any gross pathological changes. In confirmatory test, after 72 hrs, the result obtained from limit test was confirmed in another 10 animal of both sex at similar concentration following same guideline. Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization. The test groups of animals were exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L for period of 4 hrs. After exposure all the animals were closely observed for clinical signs of toxicity at various internals such as 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs on the day of test compound aerosol exposure and later on twice a day throughout the experimentation period of 14 days. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at termination of experiment. All the albino rats exposed to aerosol at the concentration of 5 mg/L did not show any clinical signs of intoxication. Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation. The body weight of animals exposed to test compound, observed on day 0th (pre treatment) and day 7th (post treatment) did not differ significantly as compared to day 0th. Whereas, body weight of animals observed on day 14th showed slight increase as compared to day 0 and 7th. The necropsy was performed on all the animals at the termination of study did not show any gross pathological changes. Hence, the acute lethal Concentration (LC50) of test compound in wister albino rats was considered to be >5 mg/L. The result obtained from present investigation can be concluded that test compound test chemical is acutely non toxic to wistar albino rats.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:In different experimental studies, test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
Acute dermal toxicity study of test chemical was conducted as per OECD No.402 in Wistar Rats. Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the surgical gauze patch was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed. The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Bodyweights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. No clinical signs and any skin reaction were observed throughout the experimental period in all treated animals. The male and female animals were observed with body weight gain compared to day 0 throughout the experiment. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality. Therefore, under the conditions of this; the acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was > 2000 mg/kg body weight. It can be concluded that test compound is acutely non toxic to wistar rats.
The above experimental study is supported with another study mentioned in study report for the target chemical.
The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted on wistar albino rats under OECD guideline-402 Guideline for Testing of Chemicals. In limit test, ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test article was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals which were sacrificed at termination of the study. The test compound applied at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats did not show any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period of 14 days. However, after 24 hrs, side of application of test compound showed slight redness in skin. No mortality was observed throughout the period of observation (14 days). After 72 hrs a confirmatory test was conducted in same species of animals to confirm the limit test of test compound (OECD-402 guidelines). Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test article was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals which were sacrificed at termination of the study. The test compound did not produce any mortality at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in wistar albino rats throughout the period of observation. The test compound did not elicit any clinical signs of toxicity entire the observation period. However, slight redness of the skin was observed after 24th hrs of patch removal. The body weight of animals treated with test compound observed on days 7th & 14th showed normal gain in body weight as compared to day 0. Therefore, the acute lethal Concentration (LD50) of test chemical in wister albino rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. The result obtained from present investigation can be concluded that test chemical is acutely non toxic to wistar albino rats.
Both the above experimental studies are further supported with the study mentioned in peer-reviewed journal and authoritative database for the target chemical.Acute dermal toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in rabbits at the dose concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed at 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above experimental studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity; and LC50 value is >5 mg/L, for acute inhalation toxicity. Thus, comparing these values with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral, acute dermal and acute inhalation toxicity.
