FOOD EFFICIENCY
Poor food efficiency during exposure in the 200 mg/kg bw/day groups. During the post-exposure period the food efficiency was normal.

HAEMATOLOGY
Males in the 200 mg/kg bw/d group had a slightly increased erythrocyte level. Irregularities in the blood values of male and female animals were
observed. The prothrombin time was longer in the 200 mg/kg bw/d dose groups and in males dosed with 50 mg/kg bw/d.

GROSS PATHOLOGY
Increased liver weight in animals dosed with 200 mg/kg bw/d.

Additional information

One subacute 28 -day oral toxicity study was performed according to the Guidelines for chemical substances control law of Japan (1985) and under GLP conditions ( Mitsui 1993, SNIF#001-4.2.10 -01). The details of the guideline requirements and the study methods are not available. Charles River CD(R) rats were exposed via an unspecified oral route to 0, 10, 50 or 200 mg/kg bw/d in corn oil. Considering the vehicle that was used, it is reasonable to assume the test substance was administered by gavage.

Poor food efficiency was noted during the exposure period in the highest dose group (200 mg/kg bw/d). The food efficiency measured during the recovery period (of unknown length) was normal, which may indicate that dosing of the test substance per se reduced food uptake. In the 200 mg/kg bw/d group, an increase in prothrombin time and other unspecified irregularities in the haematologic values were observed in both males and females. The prothrombin time was also increased in males in the 50 mg/kg bw/d group, but this was not considered to be an adverse effect as no additional haematological or other effects were observed at this dose level, in either sex. A slight increase in liver weight was reported in animals in the highest dose group. It is likely that this is a response to increased metabolic activity in the liver, as no corresponding histopathologic changes were observed. Based on the changes in haematologic values the NOAEL is considered to be 50 mg/kg bw/d.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Annex I of DSD (67/548/EC), 2,3-bis((mercaptoethyl)thio)-1-propanethiol is classified as Xn, R48/22.

According to Annex VI of CLP (1272/2008/EC), 2,3 -bis((mercaptoethyl)thio)-1 -propanethiol is classified as STOT-RE 2.
