Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: exact LD50 not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effect

Mortality:

No deaths occurred.

Clinical signs:

No clinical sign were observed.

Body weight:

Body weight was in the normal range of animals of this strain and age

Gross pathology:

No effects observed

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Single application of the limit dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg bw did not cause lethality in 3 male and 3 female HanIbm: WIST rats during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

3 Male and 3 female rats (HanIbm: WIST) were subjected to test acute oral toxicity according to the acute class method (OECD TG 423, Limit test). The test substance was administered by gavage at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in polyethylene glycol. No animal died within the observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000mg/kg bw.

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: exact LD50 not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effect, no indication of skin irritation up to the relevant limit dose level.

Mortality:

No deaths ocurred during the study.

Clinical signs:

Yellow staining and test article remnants on the application site were observed. Yellow staining persisted in two males and three females until day 13.

Body weight:

Body weights were within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

Gross pathology:

No macroscopic findings were observed at necroscopy.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Single dermal application of the limit dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg bw did not cause lethality in 5 male and 5 female HanIbm: WIST rats during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

5 Male and 5 female rats (HanIbm: WIST) were subjected to test acute dermal toxicity according to the acute dermal toxicity test method (OECD TG 402, limit test). The test substance was applied semiocclusively to the animals backs at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in propylene glycol. After 24 h the test substnce was removed, the skin was washed clean and the animals were observed for 14 days. No animal died within the observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000mg/kg bw. No skin irritation was observed either.
