Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:
0/5 males, 1/5 females (day 3).
Clinical signs:
other: All of the animals on study exhibited one or more of following: oral / nasal / ocular discharge, tremors, ataxia, abnormal stools, lethargy, moribund, stained coat, alopecia, hunched posture.
Gross pathology:
One animal had alopecia in abdominal area, one had staining in the nasal and perineal regions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 for E000144700 is greater than 5000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) was determined in a group of 5 male and 5 female rats administered a single dose of undiluted test substance at a dose of 5000 mg/kg. One of the animals died and adverse clinical signs including oral / nasal / ocular discharge, tremors, ataxia, abnormal stools, lethargy, moribund, stained coat, alopecia, hunched posture were observed.

The acute oral LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg and no classification is warranted under Dir 67/548/EEC or under GHS/CLP.
