Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Ethylbutylamine was examined in rats (5/sex and dose; dose levels 200, 271, 368, 500, and 679 mg/kg bw. Test material was administered as an emulsion (50% in arachis oil) by oral gavage. The study was conducted similar to OECD TG 401 and under GLP conditions. The purity of the test material was not reported.

Mortalities occurred within one day after dosing in groups at 368 mg/kg bw and above. The LD50was 467 mg/kg bw in this study (Safepharm, 1982).
