Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Study period:
From June to July 1994
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method)
Deviations:
no
Test type:
acute toxic class method
Limit test:
yes
Species:

Strain:

Sex:

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:

Doses:

No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
no
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.

No animal died in the course of the study.The single oral application of 2 g/kg of test substance was tolerated by 2 of 3 animals of each sex without any clinical findings. One male and one female animal showed slight apathy on the application day.All animals were without clinical symptoms from day 2 onwards. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within or slightly above the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory.Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Executive summary:

A single oral administration of the test substance by gavage to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. Slight apathy was observed in one male and one female on the application day. According to OECD TG 423 the oral LD50 of the test substance is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.

LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.

No animal died in the course of the study. A single dermal application of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without compound-related findings. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory. No compound- related clinical findings could be detected at the end of the study on day 14. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Executive summary:

A single dermal administration of the test substance to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, compound-related clinical findings, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. According to OECD TG 402 the dermal LD50 of the test substance is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
