Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- other: 0.5% methylcellulose aqueous solution
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: A homogeneous solution of test material was obtained at the concentration of 200 mg/mL in 0.5% methylcellulose aqueous solution.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): 079K0054
- Purity: The 0.5% methylcellulose was prepared in drinking water treated by reverse osmosis using ELIX 5 (Millipore SA).
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The dose formulation was stirred for at least 10 min prior to its administration to the animals and then continuously throughout the dosing procedure.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Based on available test material toxicity data (from separated OECD 420 studies with neodymium carbonate and praseodymium carbonate components) no morbidity or mortality was expected to occur at the dose-level of 2000 mg/kg. This was therefore chosen as the starting dose-level. - Doses:
- 2000 mg of active ingredient/kg bodyweight (nominal conc.)
The test item concentration was corrected to take into account the water content of the test item by a correction factor of 1.577. Thus, the active ingr. concentration of 2000 mg/kg corresponds to 3124 mg of test item/kg. - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3 per group
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality and morbidity of each animal were checked frequently during the hours following administration, then at least once a day until the end of the observation period, including weekends and public holidays. The body weight of each animal was recorded on the day of allocation of the animals into groups then on the day of treatment (i.e. day 1) and on days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes (on completion of the observation period)
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs (at least once during the first 30 min, periodically during the first 4 h, then once a day for a total of 14 days, at approximately the same time), body weight, macroscopic post-mortem examination (digestive tract, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, spleen and any other organs with obvious abnormalities) - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions of this study, the oral LD50 of the test item, Reaction mass of neodymium carbonate and praseodymium carbonate, was higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Therefore, the test item is not classified as toxic by the oral route according to the criteria of CLP Regulation.
- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential acute toxicity of the reaction mass of neodymium carbonate and praseodymium carbonate, following a single oral administration (gavage) to rats according to OECD guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP.
Prepared in 0.5% methylcellulose, the test item was administered once at the starting dose-level of 2000 mg (as active ingredient) /kg body weight (bw) by the oral route (gavage) to two groups of three fasted female Sprague-Dawley rats under a dosage-volume of 10 mL/kg. Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs for 15 days. Body weight was recorded on day 1 and then on days 8 and 15. On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed and then submitted to a macroscopic post-mortem examination.
No unscheduled deaths and no clinical signs were observed in any animals during the study for both groups of females. Body weight gain was unaffected by the test item treatment compared to historical control data. Moreover, no test item-related macroscopic findings were observed.
In conclusion, under the experimental conditions of this study, the oral LD50 of the test item, reaction mass of neodymium carbonate and praseodymium carbonate, was higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in female rats. Therefore, the test item is not classified as toxic by the oral route according to the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD), Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and UN GHS.
