7085-85-0
Molecular formula:
C6H7NO2
IUPAC Name:
ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate
Test material form:
liquid
Details on test material:
- Trade name: Product 495

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
not specified
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: the body weight ranged from 206 to 246 g
- Fasting period before study: 18 hours

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 male albino rats
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The test compound was administered by oral intubation to 1 group of 6 male albino rats fasted for 18 hours prior to dosing. The animals were observed during the day of dosing and daily thereafter for 14 days. Decents during the study were examined for gross lession.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
One rat died on the fourth day.
Clinical signs:
other:
Gross pathology:
Hemorrhagic lungs. solid mass in stomach, not adhered to stomach wall but too large to pass through pyloric valve. Cardic portion of stomach distended. Food in intestines as in a normal rat. One rat had dilated intestinal blood vessels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate is estimated to be higher than 5000 mg/kg body weight in rats for a single dose.
Therefore the test substance ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate can be considered practically nontoxic according to the EC Guideline 93/21.
