Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 for MRD-83-205 is >5000 mg/kg. Classification as an oral toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C10-C12, isoalkanes,, <2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

MRD-83-205 was administered via oral intubation to 5 male and 5 female rats at a dose of 5000 mg/kg to assess acute oral toxicity.  Animals were observed daily for 14 days post dosing.  No overt signs of toxicity were apparent.  All animals survived to study termination. All animals were free of abnormalities at postmortem examination.  All surviving animals displayed increases in body weight over their day 0 values.  The acute oral LD50 for MRD-83-205 is >5000 mg/kg. Classification as an oral toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
Undiluted test material was administered by a single oral intubation via syringe and a No. 13 ball tipped feeding needle.
Doses:
5000mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10 animals per dose (5 male; 5 female)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observations were made as to the nature, onset, severity, and duration of toxicological signs at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after dosing, and once per day thereafter for a total of 14 Days. Body weights were recorded on the day prior to dosing (pretest), the day of dosing (Day 0), on Day 7, and on Day 14, and at death for those which succumbed.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
The means and standard deviations of the body weights and body weight changes, by sex and group were calculated .
