Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

4 470 mg/kg bw

95% CL:

2 820 - 7 080

Mortality:

- Dose level 31.6, 100, 316, 1000 mg/kg: no animal died.
- Dose level 3160 mg/kg: 1 animal died within 24 hours.
- Dose level 10000 mg/kg: 5 animals died within 24 hours.
The assumption of total mortality at the 31600 mg/kg dosage level is made.

Clinical signs:

other: Dosage levels of: - 31.6 mg/kg bw: normal appearance and behavior - 100 mg/kg bw: normal appearance and behavior - 316 mg/kg bw: normal appearance and behavior - 1000 mg/kg bw: normal appearance and behavior - 3160 mg/kg bw: immediately following administ

Gross pathology:

Gross autopsies performed on the animals which died showed congestion of the lungs, kidneys, and adrenals, and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. Gross autopsies perfomed at termination revealed no observable gross pathology.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 of the test item for male albino rats is 4470 mg/kg of body weight, with confidence limits from 2820 to 7080 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

There was limited reporting.

The study was performed with similarities to OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity), but not according to GLP standards.

The test material was evaluated for its acute oral toxicity potential in albino rats when administered as gavage doses at levels of 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 3160 and 10000 mg/kg to males. No mortality occured in animals dosed at the 31.6, 100, 316 and 1000 mg/kg level. At dose level 3160 mg/kg 1/5 animal died and all (5/5) animals died at the 10000 mg/kg level. Clinical signs of toxicity included depression, ptosis and depressed righting and placement reflexes. Gross pathologic examination on the animals that died showed congestion of the lungs, kidneys and adrenals, and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. Gross pathologic examination at termination revealed nothing remarkable.

Conclusion: The acute oral LD50 of the test item for male albino rats is 4470 mg/kg of body weight, with confidence limits from 2820 to 7080 mg/kg.

According to GHS the substance is classified as toxicity category V.
