Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category V
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral LD50 for C24-C30 alkenes, branched and linear, in arachis oil BP in Sprague- Dawley rats is >5000 mg/kg.
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study, a range finding study was conducted to establish a dosing regimen for the main toxicity test. One male and one female Sprague-Dawley (Crl:CD®BR) rat were exposed to 5000 mg/kg of C24-30 Alkenes, branched and linear, via oral gavage using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. Since both animals survived and no overt signs of toxicity were noted during the 14 day post dosing period, this dose was selected for the main study.
In the main acute toxicity study, five male and five female rats were treated with 5000 mg/kg of the test material via gavage. The animals were observed for mortality or overt signs of toxicity 1, 2.5, and 4 hours after dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 days until study termination. At study termination, the animals were sacrificed and necropsies were performed.
None of the animals died during the course of the study. Clinical observations included hunched posture and pilo-erection in males. All animals exhibited normal body weight gain during the course of the study and no abnormalities were noted during necropsy. Based on these results, the authors concluded that the acute oral LD50 for C24-C30 alkenes, branched and linear, in arachis oil BP in Sprague- Dawley rats is >5000 mg/kg.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as “reliable without restrictions” because it appears to adhere to OECD 420 guidelines, which was adopted to be a replacement for the first conventional acute toxicity test described in the OECD 401 test guideline. The study was also considered to be GLP compliant.
