Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The target chemical 3-oxoglutaric acid and the read across chemical belong to the same category; that of “dicarboxylic acid”. Both the chemicals share physico-chemical properties within an acceptable range as well as environmental fate properties and aquatic toxicity properties thereby qualifying for suitable read-across. In general, the most striking pattern across the two chemicals is their low toxicity profile.
