Clinical Observations
- 1000 mg/kg bw/day: male and female rats showed increased salivation (males from Day 8 and females from Day 7)
- 1000 mg/kg bw/day: one male and one female show incidences of noisy respiration
- 300 mg/kg bw/day: Slight increased salivation was observed male and females
- 100 mg/kg bw/day: no effects
These findings are considered to be the result of local irritancy of the test item and therefore cannot be considered indicative of true systemic toxicity.
Functional Observations
- Males from all treatment groups and females from 1000 and 300 mg/kg bw group showed a statistically significant reduction in overall activity compared to the control.
- 1000 mg/kg bw/day: males showed a statistically significant reduction in the first fore limb and hind limb grip strength test and a statistically significant increase in the final hind limb grip strength test.
These observation are considered to be not related to the treatment.

Pathology
Necropsy and Histopathology
A mass surrounding the heart and lungs and a fluid filled vagina was found in one female treated with 1000 mg/kg bw due to an abscess in the heart, granuloma in the lungs and a dilated lumen in the uterus. One control female, one female treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day, two females and one
male treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day and four females treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had reddened lungs due to. These findings were considered not related to the treatments.
Organ Weights
- Males (only top dose) and females from all treatment groups showed a statistically significant increase in liver weight both absolute and relative to terminal body weight. No histopathological correlation was observed. Males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day showed a statistically significant reduction in epididymides weight both absolute and relative to terminal body weight.
All these finding are not considered related to the treatment.
- Histopathology
Kidney: increased incidence and severity of hyaline droplets and granular casts (consistent with alpha-2u-globulin nephropathy) were evident in males from all treatment groups.
Stomach: Acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and submucosal inflammation was evident in the forestomach of animals of either sex treated with 1000 and 300 mg/kg bw/day.
Lungs: Alveolar macrophages were observed in animals of either sex treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day and in females treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day. These findings are considered to be a result of local irritation following inhalation of micro-droplets of the test compound (gavage route exposure). All these finding are not considered related to the treatment. - Dose descriptor:

- Critical effects observed:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the study, the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day for females and was not established for males. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was established at 1000 mg/kg bw/day for females and males because the findings were either not considered to reflect true systemic toxicity or were not relevant for human health.
- Executive summary:
The test material Oct-1-ene CAS 111-66-0 was administrated orally to rats by gavage, at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day for 90 consecutive days. The results showed treatment - related effects in males of all dose groups and females treated with 1000 and 300 mg/kg bw.
Pathology examination showed increased incidence and severity of hyaline droplets and granular casts (consistent with alpha-2u-globulin nephropathy) in kidneys of males from all treatment groups. The presence of alpha-2-microglobulin was confirmed histochemically. This finding is species and sex specific and is not considered relevant for human health.
Acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and submucosal inflammation was evident in the forestomach of animals of either sex treated with 1000 and 300 mg/kg bw/day. This finding is a result of local irritation.
Alveolar macrophages were observed in animals of either sex treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day and in females treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day. This finding is considered to be a result of local irritation following inhalation of micro droplets of the test compound (gavage route exposure) and, therefore, are not considered related to the treatment.
Based on the results of the study, the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day for females and was not established for males. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was established at 1000 mg/kg bw/day for females and males because the findings were either not evidence of true systemic toxicity or were not relevant for human health.
Based on the results of this study, the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) for systemic toxicity was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
