Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
other: distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose + 0.1% polysorbate 80
Details on exposure:
Animals fasted overnight were treated intraperitoneally, with a single dose
Doses:
1000, 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
none
Clinical signs:
only common effects in this type of study
Body weight:
normal body weight gain
Gross pathology:
No compound related gross organ changes were observed except for some adhesions and some pseudomembranes, which developed as a directreaction to the intraperitoneal injection.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute intraperitoneal LD50 of the test article in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 2000 mg/kg. The test material is therefore slightly toxic to the rat by this route of administration.
