Executive summary:

Dodecanenitril was evaluated for acute oral toxicity according to OECD 401 and EU 84/449/EEC B.1 guidelines in male and female Wistar rats in a limit test procedure. Animals were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw of Dodecanenitrile as 20% solution in sesame oil.
Symptoms of toxicity were observed, but no mortality occurred.

 

In conclusion: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.
