Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of 1-Aminotetralin after oral administration was found to be greater than 300 mg/kg and less than 500 mg/kg body weight in rats.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity following oral administration of 1-Aminotetralin in Wistar rats. Single doses of 500 and 300 mg/kg body weight of test material preparations in olive oil Ph.Eur./DAB were given to three administration groups of three fasted female animals, each, (500 mg/kg in 3 females, 300 mg/kg in 6 females) by gavage in a sequential manner. Two animals of the 500 mg/kg administration group were found dead within 4 hours after application. No mortality occurred in the 300 mg/kg administration groups. Clinical observation in one animal of the 500 mg/kg administration group revealed poor general state, dyspnoea, lateral position, clonic convulsions and salivation. Findings were observed from hour 1 through to hour 3 after administration. No clinical signs and findings were observed in another animal of the 500 mg/kg administration group that died because lethality occurred immediately after administration. In addition no clinical signs and findings were observed in the surviving animal of the 500 mg/kg administration group. Clinical observation in the first 300 mg/kg administration group revealed impaired or poor general state, dyspnoea, lateral position, staggering, ataxia, rolling or clonic convulsions and smeared fur. Findings were observed from hour 0 through to study day 2 after administration. Clinical observation in the second 300 mg/kg administration group revealed impaired general state, dyspnoea and piloerection. Findings were observed from hour 1 through to study day 1 after administration. The body weight of the surviving animal of the 500 mg/kg administration group increased during the first post exposure observation week but did not adequately increase during the second week. The mean body weights of the 300 mg/kg administration groups increased throughout the study period. During necropsy one animal that died in the 500 mg/kg administration group showed red erosion/ulcer in the glandular stomach. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the other animal that died (500 mg/kg: 1 female) and in the animals examined at the end of the observation period (500 mg/kg: 1 female; 300 mg/kg: 6 females). Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of 1-Aminotetralin after oral administration was found to be greater than 300 mg/kg and less than 500 mg/kg body weight in rats.
