Details on dermal exposure:
Prior to dosing, the trunk of each animal was clipped free of hair. Three of the animals (two male, one female) were further prepared by introducing epidermal abrasions over the clipped skin surface to enhance penetrability of the test substance through the stratum corneum. After test substance application the trunk of each animal was encased in a sleeve of plasticized material for 24 h. Following the 24 h exposure period the sleeve was removed and the skin sites gently cleansed.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the read across substance, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. DEA, in male/female New Zealand White rabbits. The procedure was the modification of the techniques described in Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, compiled by the staff of the Division of Pharmacology, Food and Drug Administration. A single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of test substance was applied to the abraded and intact skin of the test animals. The trunk of each animal was then encased in a sleeve of plasticized material for a 24 h period. Animals were observed immediately after dosing, and at 1, 6 and 24 h post-dosing. Following the 24 h exposure period, animals were observed for mortality, skin response and general behaviour for 14 d. No mortality occurred. All animals appeared normal throughout the 24 h exposure and 14 d post-exposure observation periods. Under the study conditions, the dermal LD50 in rabbits was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw (Palanker, 1976).

Additional information

Oral

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, C18-unsatd. DEA, in Sprague Dawley rats. Groups of 6 males were administered 0, 5000, 10000 and 20000 mg/kg bw by stomach intubation and observed for 14 d. Approximately 50% mortality occurred at the mid dose. Under the study conditions, the oral LD50 in rats was found to be 10000 mg/kg bw (Casey, 1976).

A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, C18-unsatd. DEA, in Sprague Dawley rats. Groups of 20 fasted animals (10 males and 10 females) were exposed via oral gavage to 0, 10.0, 12.6, 16.0 and 20.0 mL/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 d, then sacrificed and subjected to gross pathological examination. Mortality occured at 12.6 mL/kg bw. Signs of toxicity included rough fur, pale extremities, diarrhea, increased lacrimation and slight to middle-strong lethargy and ataxia. Animals dying during the study showed slight to medium effects in the lung, liver, glands, stomach and duodenum. In animals sacrificed at the end of the study, light to medium effects were observed in the lungs, liver and stomach. Under the study conditions, the LD50 of the test substance was found to be equivalent to 14.21 mL/kg bw (according to Kärber) or 13.82 mL/kg bw (according to Weil). These LD50 values are equivalent to 14210 and 13820 mg/kg bw, assuming a density of approximately 1 g/cm3 (Sandhowe-Grote, 1979).

Dermal

A study was conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the read across substance, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. DEA, in male/female New Zealand White rabbits. The procedure was the modification of the techniques described in Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, compiled by the staff of the Division of Pharmacology, Food and Drug Administration. A single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of test substance was applied to the abraded and intact skin of the test animals. The trunk of each animal was then encased in a sleeve of plasticized material for a 24 h period. Animals were observed immediately after dosing, and at 1, 6 and 24 h post-dosing. Following the 24 h exposure period, animals were observed for mortality, skin response and general behaviour for 14 d. No mortality occurred. All animals appeared normal throughout the 24 h exposure and 14 d post-exposure observation periods. Under the study conditions, the dermal LD50 in rabbits was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw (Palanker, 1976).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data indicates that C18-unsatd. DEA has a low potential for acute toxicity (oral and dermal LD50 >10000 and >2000 mg/kg bw, respectively). The substance therefore does not meet the requirement for classification according to CLP (EC 1272/2008) criteria.
