Gross pathology:

In animals found dead: changes in lungs and gastrointestinal tract.
Some animals exhibited changes in the stomach and intestine which were suggestive of an irritant effect (presence of red or black fluid, discoloration of walls).
Some animals were also noted to have red fluid in hte body cavity and urinary bladder.
One animal in the 500 mg/kg group which survived until study termination had adhesions of the stomach to the liver and abdominal walls.

Executive summary:

The Acute oral toxicity of Diisopropylamine (DIPA) was evaluated in rats according to the EPA OPP 81-1 guideline. After a preliminary dose range-finding test, groups of 5 male and 5 female Sprague Dawley rats (except the high dose group, constituted of 5 males only) were given a single oral dose of DIPA at doses of 0, 50, 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg. Following treatment, rats were observed daily and weighted weekly. A gross necropsy examination was performed at the time of scheduled euthanasia (Day 14).

All animals died on day 1 after administration of 1000 mg/kg (5 males). 5/5 females and 2/5 males died after treatment with 500 mg/kg. 1/5 female only died in the 250 mg/kg group and no mortality was observed in the low dose group (50 mg/kg)

Signs seen during the 24 hours after dosing in groups receiving doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg included ataxia and/or tremors, hypoactivity, wet rales, food consumption decrease, dyspnea, hypopnea and ocular, oral and nasal discharge. Some animals exhibited decreased food consumption and/or emiaciation for up to 8 days after dosing. Animals in the 50 mg/kg group were generally free of abnormalities.

Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of DIPA is 420 mg/kg (277-563 mg/kg) in Sprague Dawley rats with 95% confidence interval limits.
