Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
API 78-9 administered orally via gavage to young adult Sprague-Dawley rats has an acute oral LD50 >5,000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, paraffinic oil sample API 78-9 (CAS No. 64742-56-9) was administered via oral gavage to 5 Sprague-Dawley rats per sex at a single dose of 5,000 mg/kg (5 g/kg).

The rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity, changes in body weight, and other gross abnormalities over a 14-day post-exposure observation period. All rats were killed and necropsied on day 14.

No mortalities or any sign of clinical sign of toxicity were observed in either male or female rats dosed at 5,000 mg/kg. Body weight gain was observed to be normal in all animals. One animal did exhibit hydronephrosis in the right kidney but this was not considered to be treatment-related. Necroscopy did not reveal any gross abnormalities in either male or female rats.

Acute oral LD50 >5,000 mg/kg (5 g/kg).

This study is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted according to OECD Guideline 401.
