Reaction mass of 2-dodecylhexadecyl methacrylate and 2-Tetradecyloctadecyl methacrylate

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The acute toxicity of Reaction mass of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-dodecylhexadecyl ester and 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-tetradecyloctadecyl ester via the oral route was

evaluated during a study performed according to the OECD Testing Guideline 420. The study was GLP-compliant.

 

The fixed dose method was used. One female Wistar rat received by gavage a single dose of 300 mg/kg bw in corn oil. In the absence of observable toxicity at 300 mg/kg bw, an animal was treated at 2,000 mg/kg bw. Considering that no mortality or clear signs of toxicity were observed, four additional female Wistar rats were treated at 2,000 mg/kg bw.

 

Following exposure to the test substance, animals were observed for 14 days. There were no deaths nor clinical signs of reaction to treatment during the study. All animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory body weight gains throughout the study. No abnormalities were noted in any animal at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.

 

It can be concluded that Reaction mass of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-dodecylhexadecyl ester and 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-tetradecyloctadecyl ester has a LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg bw via the oral route.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Envigo RMS (UK) Ltd
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 8 to 12 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 158 to 170 g
- Fasting period before study: Overnight before dosing
- Housing: solid bottomed polycarbonate cages with a stainless steel mesh lid
- Diet: standard rodent diet (Teklad 2014C Diet) ad libitum
- Water: Tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least five days before treatment

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 to 24°C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): Periodic checks were made on the number of air changes in the animal rooms.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12h/12h

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30 and 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle: 10 mL/kg body weight
- Justification for choice of vehicle: A vehicle trial was conducted; water resulted in an offwhite, hazy emulsion which separated quickly and was therefore determined unsuitable, 1% methyl cellulose was considered to be incompatible due to the test items previous incompatibility with water, and therefore, corn oil was tested – which resulted in a clear, yellow solution and determined suitable for formulation.

Doses:

300 mg/kg bw was chosen as the starting dose.
In the absence of mortality or clear evident toxicity at a dose level of 300 mg/kg, additional testing was performed at 2,000 mg/kg bw.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

One animal at 300 mg/kg bw.
Five animals at 2,000 mg/kg bw.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Cages of rats were checked at least twice daily for any mortalities. The weight of each rat was recorded on Days -1, 1 (prior to dosing), 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: All animals were subject to a macroscopic examination which consisted of opening the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities. The macroscopic appearance of the brain, cecum, duodenum, heart, kidneys, small and large intestine, liver, lungs and bronchi, spleen, stomach, subcutaneous tissue and urinary bladder was recorded.
- Other examinations performed: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent (approximately hourly) intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days, animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day (with the exception of Day 15 - morning only). The nature and severity, where appropriate, of any clinical signs and the time were recorded at each observation.

Preliminary study:

In the absence of mortality or toxicity at 300 mg/kg bw and 2,000 mg/kg bw, definitive test was conducted at 2,000 mg/kg bw

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were noted in any animal at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Following an acute oral toxicity experiment in rats, it was determined that Reaction mass of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-dodecylhexadecyl ester and 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-tetradecyloctadecyl ester was not acutely toxic via the oral route under the conditions of the study. No mortality was observed at the highest dose over a 14-day period, therefore the LD50 is concluded to be >2000 mg/kg bw. The substance does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of Reaction mass of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-dodecylhexadecyl ester and 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-tetradecyloctadecyl ester via the oral route was

evaluated during a study performed according to the OECD Testing Guideline 420. The study was GLP-compliant.

The fixed dose method was used. One female Wistar rat received by gavage a single dose of 300 mg/kg bw in corn oil. In the absence of observable toxicity at 300 mg/kg bw, an animal was treated at 2,000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Following an acute oral toxicity experiment in rats, it was determined that Reaction mass of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-dodecylhexadecyl ester and 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-tetradecyloctadecyl ester was not acutely toxic via the oral route under the conditions of the study. No mortality was observed at the highest dose over a 14-day period, therefore the LD50 is concluded to be >2000 mg/kg bw. The substance does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
