Description of key information
In an OECD guideline study, the acute oral LD50 of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate in female rats was reported to be 933 mg/kg bw (Allen, 1995a).
In an OECD guideline study, to GLP,
the acute dermal LD50 of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate was
found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw, as no deaths occurred at this
limit dose (Allen, 1997a).
No relevant acute inhalation toxicity
data were identified.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs - Statistics:
- Acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) and 95% confidence limits of the test material were calculated by the method of Thompson W.R.
- Preliminary study:
- In the range finding study, one male and one female received 2 g/kg bw. The male was found dead two days after dosing, the female had no signs of systemic toxicity at day 5 after dosing. Hunched posture, lethargy and pilo-erection were seen in both animals, and ptosis and occasional body tremours were also noted in the male.
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 933 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- 95% CL:
- 664 - 1 310
- Mortality:
- In the main study, all 5 male and 5 female rats receiving 2 g/kg bw died by day 3, whilst 3 of 5 females died at 1 g/kg bw on days 4 to 6. No deaths were seen in the females receiving 0.5 g/kg bw.
- Clinical signs:
- Hunched posture, lethargy, decreased respiratory rate, laboured respiration and emaciation were commonly noted in all dose groups during the study. Pilo-erection and ptosis were noted in animals dosed with 1 g/kg bw and above. Ataxia was seen in females dosed with 1 g/kg bw (and higher) and distended abdomen noted at 0.5 and 1 g/kg bw, and in males given 2 g/kg bw. Incidents of diarrhoea, noisy or gasping respiration, red/brown staining around the mouth and snout and occasional body tremours were also noted with isolated incidents of tiptoe or splayed gait, dehydration and increase salivation. Surviving animals had no signs of systemic toxicity within 1 to 9 days after dosing.
- Body weight:
- Surviving animals showed an “acceptable gain in bodyweight during the study”, except for one female administered 0.5 g/kg bw and one female given 1 g/kg bw who showed a body weight loss during the first and second week, respectively.
- Gross pathology:
- Haemorrhagic or abnormally red lungs, dark liver, dark or pale kidneys, gaseous distention of the stomach, dark, hardened or thickened gastric mucosa and haemorrhage of the small intestine were noted at necropsy of animals that died during the study. Sloughing of the non-glandular epithelium of the stomach with a raised limiting edge were noted in females receiving 0.5 and 1 g/kg bw killed at the end of the study period. Two female rats were found cannibalised, therefore necropsy was noted performed.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In an OECD guideline study, the acute oral LD50 of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate in the female rat was reported to be 933 mg/kg bw .
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate was assessed in rats, in a study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 401.
In the range finding study, one male and one female rat received a single dose of 2000 mg /kg bw by oral gavage. The male was found dead two days after dosing whereas the female had no signs of systemic toxicity at day 5.
Therefore, in the main study, groups of 5 females were administered 500, 1000 or 2000 mg/kg bw of the test material and a group of 5 male rats received 2000 mg/kg bw. All 10 rats receiving 2000 mg/kg bw died by day 3 of the observation period, whilst 3 of 5 females receiving 1000 mg/kg bw died on days 4 to 6. No deaths were seen in the low dose females, following the 14-day observation period. The study authors conclude that the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in females rats is 933 mg/kg bw. “No significant difference in toxicity was noted between male and female animals”.
Based on the results of this study, tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate should be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 4) according to EU CLP criteria (EU 1272/2008).

Additional information
No relevant acute toxicity human data were identified.
The acute oral toxicity of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate was assessed in rats, in a study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 401. In the range finding study, one male and one female rat received a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw by oral gavage. The male was found dead two days after dosing whereas the female had no signs of systemic toxicity at day 5. Therefore, in the main study, groups of 5 females were administered 500, 1000 or 2000 mg/kg bw of the test material and a group of 5 male rats received 2000 mg/kg bw. All 10 rats receiving 2000 mg/kg bw died by day 3 of the observation period, whilst 3 of 5 females receiving 1000 mg/kg bw died on days 4 to 6. No deaths were seen in the low dose females, following the 14-day observation period. The study authors conclude that the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in female rats is 933 mg/kg bw. “No significant difference in toxicity was noted between male and female animals” (Allen, 1995a).
The acute dermal toxicity of tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate was evaluated in an OECD Test Guideline 402 study, conducted according to GLP. The test material was applied to the shaved skin of rats (5/sex), under a semi-occlusive covering, and removed (by gentle washing) after 24 hr. There were no signs of systemic toxicity or mortality during the 14-day observation period, and no adverse pathology was found. Therefore, the acute dermal LD50 of the test material was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw (Allen, 1997a).
Tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate is considered to fall within the scope of the read-across category "tetraamminepalladium salts". See IUCLID section 13 for full read-across justification report.
No acute inhalation toxicity data were identified. However, the compound is not expected to reach the lungs in appreciable quantities (based on respiratory tract deposition modelling data). Thus, inhalation will not be a significant route of exposure.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
OECD guideline study, with limitations, and the only acute oral
toxicity study available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
GLP, OECD guideline study, and the only acute dermal toxicity study
available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the available and reliable acute oral rat study with tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate, tetraamminepalladium dichloride should be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 4) according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
No classification for acute dermal toxicity is required, based on the results of the available and reliable acute dermal rat study with tetraamminepalladium hydrogen carbonate.
No clear evidence of specific target organ toxicity was noted. As such, classification for STOT-SE is not considered appropriate.
