Clinical signs:
other: Severe clinical symptoms related to CNS symptoms, coordination, reflexes and autonomic functions were observed with dose related intensity as follows: 1) At 125 mg/kg: Decreased activity and pilorection 2) At 250 mg/kg: Decreased activity, ventral positi
Gross pathology:
Gross pathological examinations at 14 days post administration (terminal necropsies) revealed no test substance-dependent findings. The macroscopic changes observed were attributable to the sacrificing procedure or to minor variations which often occur spontaneously in mice of this strain. However, all dose animals killed in extremis or died spontaneously revealed alterations which were considered to be test substance-related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Acute oral administration of Lehmannblau sulfat (2- amino-4-hydroxyethylaminoanisole sulfate) to male and female mice resulted in a LD50 value of 327 mg/kg (Male LD50: 333 mg/kg; female LD50: 351 mg/kg). The registered substance is classified as Category 4 according to GHS regulation.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the acute oral toxicity (LD50) of Lehmannblau sulfat (2- amino-4-hydroxyethylaminoanisole sulfate) when administered once orally to male and female mice.

BOR: NMRI white mice were used in this study. Test substance was administered by gavage using a stomach tube at dose levels of 125, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/kg bw. The dose levels were based on the results of a range finding study where a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was administered to 2 female animals and both animals died 24 hours post dosing.

Clinical observations were conducted at regular intervals during the 14-day observation period. Body weights were measured at Days 0, 7 and 14. Animals found dead or killed in extremis were immediately necropsied.

The test substance caused dose related clinical signs increasing in severity to CNS, coordination, reflexes and autonomic functions up to 72 hours after dosing. Weight gains were reduced in all surviving animals.

Out of 10 animals (5 males and 5 females), only 1 female survived at 1000 mg/kg bw. At 750 mg/kg bw, only 2 male animals survived. One male animal and 2 female animals survived at 500 mg/kg bw. At 250 mg/kg bw, the mortality rate was low and 4 female and 3 male animals survived. 4 animals/sex survived at 125 mg/kg. Gross pathological examinations at 14 days post administration (terminal necropsies) revealed no test substance-dependent findings in any of the dose groups.

Based on the observed mortality, the following LD50 figures were determined at 14 days according to Finney:

LD50 mouse, female: 351 mg/kg bw

LD50 mouse, male: 333 mg/kg bw

LD50 mouse male + female: 327 mg/kg bw

Acute oral administration of Lehmannblau sulfat (2- amino-4-hydroxyethylaminoanisole sulfate) to male and female mice resulted in a LD50 value of 327 mg/kg  (Male LD50: 333 mg/kg; female LD50: 351 mg/kg).  The registered substance is classified as Category 4 according to GHS regulation.
