Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 500 - < 1 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No animals survived the 1000 mg/ kg bw dose (4/5 animals died between 1 and 4 hours postdose, one animal died between 4 and 24 hours postdose). Four rabbits survived at 500 mg/ kg bw, one rabbit died between 4 and 6 hours post-dose. No mortality occurred at 250 mg/ kg bw.
- Clinical signs:
- other: At 250 mg/ kg bw no clinical signs were noted, except for instances of soiling of the anogenital area, ataxia and hunched posture 24 post dose. At 500 mg/ kg bw, tachypnea was observed in one animal one hour after start of exposure. One animal was noted t
- Gross pathology:
- Not performed.
- Other findings:
- At 24 hours, no erythema (in 1/4 animals), very slight (in 2/4 animals) to well defined (in 1/4 animals) was seen at 500 mg/kg bw. No edema was seen in 1/4 animals, two had very slight edema and one had slight edema (edges of area well defined by definitive raising). At day 7, 3/4 had flaking skin with very slight (1/4), well defined (1/4) or severe erythema (beet redness). Edema was absent (2/4), very slight or slight (1/4 each).
Exposure to 250 mg/kg bw resulted at 24 hours in very slight (in 3/5 animals) to well defined (in 2/5 animals) erythema. Edema was absent in 1 animal, very slight (2/5) or slight (2/5). On day 7, only 1/5 rabbits had very slight edema, 4/5 had no erythema (one of these animals had flaking skin) and one animal was found to have severe erythema.
Any other information on results incl. tables
After occlusive binding was removed, approximately 10% of the test substance (both concentrations) remained on the skin (estimated by visual inspection).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: classified cat. 3
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on an acute dermal toxicity test performed with male rabbits, the LD50 of the test substance was found to be > 500 mg/kg bw and < 1000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
An acute dermal toxicity test with male rabbits was performed under GLP principles. Male rabbits were exposed occlusively for 24 hours to 250, 500 or 1000 mg/kg bw and observed for 7 days after removal of the test substance. At the highest dose, all rabbits died within 24 hours. At 500 mg/ kg bw, 1/5 rabbits died. No other mortality occurred. Clinical signs were limited, incidental findings of ataxia and soiling of the anogenital area were seen (at 250 mg/ kg bw) and tachypnea (in the rabbit that died at 500 mg/kg bw) and lethargy, abnormal posture and responsiveness in the hind legs (1 animal) were seen at 500 mg/kg bw. Body weight reduction and arrest were seen in 2 animals at 500 mg/kg bw, all other surviving animals gained weight as expected. Dermal effects were seen in most animals, for one animal from each dose group the erythema was severe at day 7. For all other animals, skin effects were absent or very slight after 7 days.
Based on these results, the LD50 of the test substance was found to be > 500 mg/kg bw and < 1000 mg/ kg bw and therefore the test substance is classified for acute dermal toxicity category 3.
