Effect level:
> 15 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortatlity
Clinical signs:
other: Diarrhea observed in multiple animals on day 1 and 1/10 animals on days 9 and 10; hair loss observed in animals on days 7-14

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 following oral gavage of MRD 77-11 is greater than 15g/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-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

MRD 77 -11 was administered via oral gavage to ten albino Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) at a dose of 15.0 g/kg to assess the acute oral toxicity.  Animals were observed for mortality and toxic effects immediately and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days.  Necropsies were performed on all rats.  No deaths were observed.  Hair loss in 9/10 animals and darkened kidneys in 5/10 animals were observed at necropsy.  The oral LD50 for MRD 77-11 was greater than 15.0 g/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.
