Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 250, 320 and 400 mg/mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 mL/kg

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: from a pilot study with the substance it was concluded that the LD50 could be near or above 2000 mg/kg.
Doses:
0, 1250, 1600 and 2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: The animals were observed 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after application and thereafter daily
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period the animals were killed by CO2 asphyxia, necropsied and subjected to examination for gross pathological changes.
- Body weights: Individual body weights were recorded immediately before treatment and then on the 7th and 14th day of the observation period.
Statistics:
Not performed.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
From a pilot study with the substance it was concluded that the LD50 could be near or above 2000 mg/kg.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No deaths were observed.
Clinical signs:
other: At the dose level of 1250 mg/kg, the males showed moderate to trace sedation during the first 2 hours after treatment, whereas the females remained without symptoms. In general, the observed symptoms were mild and dissappeared completely within 4 hours af
Gross pathology:
No signs of gross pathological changes were found necropsy, exept in one male in the 2000 mg/kg dose group, where the stomach was partially grown together with rate and liver tissue.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The effect seen in the stomach of the one male may be indicative for irritation of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study with male and female rats, performed according to OECD 401 test guidelines, an LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw was determined.
Executive summary:

Sec Butyl Quinoline was tested in an acute oral toxicity study with male and female rats, performed according to the OECD 401 guideline. At the dose level of 1250 mg/kg, the males showed moderate to trace sedation during the first 2 hours after treatment, whereas the females remained without symptoms. In general, the observed symptoms were mild and dissappeared completely within 4 hours after treatment, exept in one male and one female in the 1600 mg/kg dose group, which still showed symptoms like gasping and/or sedation 24 hours after tretament. No signs of gross pathological changes were found necropsy, exept in one male in the 2000 mg/kg dose group, where the stomach was partially grown together with rate and liver tissue, which may indicate some irritation of the substance. The LD50 was established to be >2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
