Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Conclusions:

The LD50 value of the test compound was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg bw (>2000 mg/kg bw) when Sprague Dawley female rats treated via oral gavage route.

Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity study, 12 Sprague Dawley female rats treated with test chemical by oral gavage route at the concentration of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw in 4 different steps.The dose of 300 mg/kg of test item was prepared by dilution of the test item in corn oil to obtain 30 mg/ml strength of solution. The formulation was prepared fresh on the day of dosing. The test item was administered in the dose volume of 10 ml/kg body weight. The dose of 2000 mg/kg of test item was administered undiluted . Female rats of the age of approximately 8 to 12 weeks old were used and its weight were within ± 20% of the mean weight of any animal used for dosing. Body weight range was 199.8 to 211.7 grams. The rats were housed in polycarbonate cages.The animal room was independently provided with at least 10 to 15 air changes per hour of 100% fresh air that had been passed through the HEPA filters. Room temperature was maintained at 20.1 to 21.9° C and room humidity was maintained at 56.3% to 59.8%.An artificial light and dark cycle of 12 hours each was provided to the room.Rodent feed supplied by the Nutrivet Life Sciences, Pune, was provided ad libitum from individual feeders.Water was provided ad libitum from individual bottles attached to the cages. All water was from a local source and passed through the reverse osmosis membrane before use.The single dose of test item was administered to fasted rats (approximately 16 hours or more) by oral intubation, using a ball-tipped intubation needle fitted onto a syringe of appropriate size.

Initially, 3 female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces and diarrhoea with onset from 4 hours to day 1 after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, 3 female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces and diarrhoea with onset from 4 hours to day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional 3 female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces with onset on day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional 3 female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces with onset on day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups. Therefore, LD50 value of the test chemical was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg bw (>2000 mg/kg bw) when Sprague Dawley female rats treated via oral gavage route.

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Conclusions:

Acute lethal Concentration (LC50) of test compound was found be more than 5 mg/L. when Wistar Albino Male and Female rats were inhaled for 4 hours.

Executive summary:

In a acute inhalation toxicity study,Wistar Albino Male and Female rats were exposed with test chemical in the concentration of 5 mg/L in a dynamic nose-only cylindrical chamber built from stainless steel and glass. The chamber had a volume of 8 liters with inner and outer chamber to minimize the fluctuation in concentration and temperature for 4 hours. No mortality was recorded in any of the Wistar albino rats in both limit test and confirmatory test after 4 hours of exposure. No clinical signs of intoxication at the tested aerosol concentration of 5 mg/L observed for the period of 14 days. No significant increase or decrease in body weight on day 7^thand 14^thwere observed when compared with day 0. No gross pathological changes were observed in treated rats. After 72 hrs, the result obtained from limit test was confirmed in another 10 animal of both sex at similar concentration. No effects were observed in exposed rats at 5 mg/L. Therefore, Acute lethal Concentration (LC50) of test compound was found be more than 5 mg/L. when Wistar Albino Male and Female rats were inhaled for 4 hours.

Conclusions:

LD50 of test compound was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg b.wt. (>2000 mg/kg b.wt.) when Wistar albino male and female rats.treated dermally.

Executive summary:

In a acute dermal toxicity study, Wistar albino male and female rats treated with test chemical dermally at 2000 mg/kg b.wt applied uniformly over approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area for 24 hrs with an impervious dressing secured in place with an adhesive tape. The animals were then housed individually in cages with a collar around the neck in order to avoid the ingestion of the test compound. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the site of application was cleaned with lukewarm water wiping. No mortality at 2000 mg/kg b.wt in wistar albino rats were observed throughout the period of observation14 days. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in entire the observation period of 14 days. Normal gain in body weight was observed on day 7th and 14th (post treatment) as compared to day 0th (pre treatment). No significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity were observed. Therefore, LD50 of test compound was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg b.wt. (>2000 mg/kg b.wt.) when Wistar albino male and female rats treated dermally.

Additional information

Acute Oral toxicity:

In a study, test chemical has been reviewed for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Study based on in vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats.

In a experimental study, 12 Sprague Dawley female rats treated with test chemical by oral gavage route at the concentration of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw in 4 different steps. The dose of 300 mg/kg of test item was prepared by dilution of the test item in corn oil to obtain 30 mg/ml strength of solution. The formulation was prepared fresh on the day of dosing. The test item was administered in the dose volume of 10 ml/kg body weight. The dose of 2000 mg/kg of test item was administered undiluted. Female rats of the age of approximately 8 to 12 weeks old were used and its weight were within ± 20% of the mean weight of any animal used for dosing. Body weight range was 199.8 to 211.7 grams. The rats were housed in polycarbonate cages. The animal room was independently provided with at least 10 to 15 air changes per hour of 100% fresh air that had been passed through the HEPA filters. Room temperature was maintained at 20.1 to 21.9° C and room humidity was maintained at 56.3% to 59.8%. An artificial light and dark cycle of 12 hours each was provided to the room. Rodent feed supplied by the Nutrivet Life Sciences, Pune, was provided ad libitum from individual feeders. Water was provided ad libitum from individual bottles attached to the cages. All water was from a local source and passed through the reverse osmosis membrane before use. The single dose of test item was administered to fasted rats (approximately 16 hours or more) by oral intubation, using a ball-tipped intubation needle fitted onto a syringe of appropriate size.

Initially, 3 female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces and diarrhoea with onset from 4 hours to day 1 after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, 3 female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces and diarrhoea with onset from 4 hours to day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional 3 female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces with onset on day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional 3 female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in test item coloured faces with onset on day 1 after the dosing and no mortality after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups. Therefore, LD50 value of the test compound was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg bw (>2000 mg/kg bw) when Sprague Dawley female rats treated via oral gavage route.

Thus, based on the above study on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is greater 2000 mg/kg bw for acute oral toxicity. Thus comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be Not classified for acute oral toxicity.

Acute inhalation toxicity:

In a study, test chemical has been reviewed for acute inhalation toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Study based on in vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats.

In a experimental study, Wistar Albino Male and Female rats were exposed with test chemical in the concentration of 5 mg/L in a dynamic nose-only cylindrical chamber built from stainless steel and glass. The chamber had a volume of 8 liters with inner and outer chamber to minimize the fluctuation in concentration and temperature for 4 hours. No mortality was recorded in any of the Wistar albino rats in both limit test and confirmatory test after 4 hours of exposure. No clinical signs of intoxication at the tested aerosol concentration of 5 mg/L observed for the period of 14 days. No significant increase or decrease in body weight on day 7^thand 14^thwere observed when compared with day 0. No gross pathological changes were observed in treated rats. After 72 hrs, the result obtained from limit test was confirmed in another 10 animal of both sex at similar concentration. No effects were observed in exposed rats at 5 mg/L. Therefore, Acute lethal Concentration (LC50) of test compound was found be more than 5 mg/L. when Wistar Albino Male and Female rats were inhaled for 4 hours.

Thus, based on the above study on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is greater 5 mg/L. for acute inhalation toxicity. Thus comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be Not classified for acute inhalation toxicity.

Acute dermal toxicity:

In a study, test chemical has been reviewed for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Study based on in vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats.

In a experimental study, Wistar albino male and female rats treated with test chemical dermally at 2000 mg/kg b. wt applied uniformly over approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area for 24 hrs with an impervious dressing secured in place with an adhesive tape. The animals were then housed individually in cages with a collar around the neck in order to avoid the ingestion of the test compound. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the site of application was cleaned with lukewarm water wiping. No mortality at 2000 mg/kg b.wt in wistar albino rats was observed throughout the period of observation14 days. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in entire the observation period of 14 days. Normal gain in body weight was observed on day 7th and 14th (post treatment) as compared to day 0th (pre treatment). No significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity were observed. Therefore, LD50 of test compound was found to be more than 2000 mg/kg b.wt (>2000 mg/kg b.wt.) when Wistar albino male and female rats treated dermally.

Thus, based on the above study on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is greater 2000 mg/kg bw for acute dermal toxicity. Thus comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be Not classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above study on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is greater 5 mg/L and 2000 mg/kg bw for acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity. Thus comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be Not classified for acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity.
