- Source: Charles River U.K. Limited, Margate, Kent, England.
- Age at study initiation: Approximately four to six weeks of age.
- Weight at study initiation: weight range of 90 to 149 g in the main study.

- Housing: The rats were allocated to cages within the treatment groups. They were housed in groups by sex in metal cages with wire mesh floors.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): A standard laboratory rodent diet (Labsure LAD 1) were provided ad libitum.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: For a minimum period of 6 days prior to the start of the main study
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): The mean daily minimum and maximum temperatures of the animal room were 20°C and 23°C respectively.
- Humidity (%): The mean daily humidity value was 66%
- Air changes (per hr): Maintained at approximately 15 air changes/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours artificial light in each 24 hour period.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- The appropriate dose volume of the test substance was administered to each rat using a syringe and plastic catheter.
- Doses:
- 5.0, 6.4, 8.0, 10.0 g/kg
5.14, 6.58, 8.23, 10.29 ml/kg - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days (or other?)
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days the animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day. This latter observation was at approximately 16.30 hours on weekdays or 11.30 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Clinical signs were recorded at each observation. Individual bodyweights of rats on Days 1 (day of dosing), 8 and 15 and at death.
Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Surviving animals on the main study were killed on Day 15 by cervical dislocation. All animals that died during the study and those killed on Day 15 were subjected to a macroscopic post mortem examination which consisted of opening the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The macroscopic appearance of abnormal organs when presented was recorded.
The animals on the preliminary study were observed for 5 days after dosing - Statistics:
- The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to male and female rats was calculated using the method of: Finney (1971) Probit Analysis (3rd Edition) Cambridge University Press.
Separate LD50 values for males and females were estimated by undertaking probit analysis on the mortality data by fitting two parallel lines on the data (males only and females only) using the technique described by Finney (1978, Statistical Method in Biological Assay, 3rd Edition, Charles Griffin, London). A chi-squared test was carried out to check that the data did not contain any evidence for non-parallelism.

- Mortality:
- There were single deaths among female rats dosed at 5.0 g/kg and males treated at 6.4 and 8.0 g/kg. Higher mortality affected females dosed at 8.0 g/kg and both males and females given the test substance at 10.0 g/kg.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Signs of reaction to treatment observed in all rats within two hours of dosing were pilo-erection, abnormal body carriage (hunched posture), abnormal gait (waddling), lethargy, decreased respiratory rate and pallor of the extremities. Other clinical signs
- Gross pathology:
- Autopsy of rats that died revealed slight renal pallor in four animals (8.0 g/kg) and slight pallor of the liver in one female (5.0 g/kg). No other macroscopic abnormalities were found.
Terminal autopsy findings were normal
Any other information on results incl. tables
Preliminary study:
Results of the preliminary study indicated that the acute median lethal oral dose of 3-methyl-1,5 pentandiol was greater than 4.0 g/kg bodyweight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- LD50 = 8.0 g/kg for males and females combined
The acute median lethal oral doses (LD50) and their 95% confidence limits to rats of 3-methyl-1,5 pentandiol were estimated to be:
Males and females combined: 8.0 (7.1 to 9.5) g/kg bw
Males only: 8.3 (6.9 to 10.5) g/kg bw
Females only: 7.8 (6.5 to 9.7) g/kg bw
