Endpoint summary

Description of key information

• Acute toxicity: Oral

According to the OECD 423 guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight.

• Acute toxicity: Inhalation

No reliable acute toxicity study via the inhalation route was available. However, this endpoint is waived as specific data are available for the oral and dermal exposure routes.

• Acute toxicity: Dermal

In an acute dermal toxicity study in male and female Crl:WI (Han) (SPF) rats, following the standard acute method according to OECD Guideline 402 and EC method B.3, the LD50 was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30 mg/ml , 200 mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at WIL Research Europe and on test item data supplied by the Sponsor. The vehicle was chosen from (in order of preference): water (Elix) (test item did not dissolve), 1% aq. carboxymethyl cellulose (test item did not dissolve), propylene glycol (spec. gravity 1.036), polyethylene glycol 400 (spec. gravity 1.125) and corn oil (spec. gravity 0.92). There was no information available regarding the solubility or stability in vehicle.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): no data
- Purity:no data

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg body weight; using plastic feeding tubes

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): the preparations (w/w) were kept at room temperature and were dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. Homogeneity was obtained to visually acceptable levels and the formulations were stirred during dosing, which ensures homogeneity sufficient for these kinds of studies. Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. No correction was made for the purity of the test item. The concentration of the test item in vehicle was varied to allow constant dosage volume in terms of ml/kg body weight.

Additional information

• Acute oral toxicity:

An acute oral toxicity study with T001036 according to the acute toxic class method in female Crl:WI (Han) (SPF) rats (OECD guideline 423 and EU Method B.1 tris) was performed (WIL, 2015). Single dosages of 300 mg/kg bw (2 groups of 3 animals) and 2000 mg/kg bw (1 group of 3 animals) were applied. The substance was formulated in propylene glycol at concentrations of 30 mg/ml and 200 mg/ml respectively. The rats received a single oral dose of test item, and were observed during 14 days following administration. Lethality and viability were observed twice daily, and bodyweight was monitored at day 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15. Clinical signs were observed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter. Necropsy of survivors and macroscopic examination were also performed. Internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. 

At 2000 mg/kg, two animals were sacrificed for humane reasons on day 2. At 300 mg/kg, no mortality occurred. At 2000 mg/kg, lethargy, flat posture, hunched posture, slow breathing, shallow respiration, piloerection, watery discharge from the eyes, ptosis and/or hypothermia were noted for the animals on days 1 and/or 2. At 300 mg/kg, lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, piloerection and/or ptosis were noted for the animals on days 1 and/or 2.

At 2000 mg/kg, the surviving animal showed reduced body weight gain between days 8 and 15. At 300 mg/kg, the body weight gain over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.

At 2000 mg/kg, dark red contents of the urinary bladder were found in the two animals sacrificed for humane reasons on day 2. At 300 mg/kg, no abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination.

 

The oral LD50 value of JNJ-119717-AAA (T001036) in Wistar rats was established to be within the range of 300-2000 mg/kg body weight. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight.

 

• Acute inhalation toxicity:

In addition to the oral route of exposure, for substances other than gases, the information mentioned under REACH section 8.5.2 to 8.5.3 shall be provided for at least one other exposure route (REACH Regulation, column 2 adaptation of Annex VIII). For this substance a key study is available for the dermal route of exposure. Therefore, an acute inhalation toxicity study should not be performed.  

 

• Acute dermal Toxicity:

An acute dermal toxicity study with T001036 according to the standard acute method in male and female Crl:WI (Han) (SPF) rats (OECD guideline 402 and EU Method B.3 was performed (WIL, 2016). The substance was dissolved in propylene glycol and applied on a clipped area on the back at 2000 mg/kg bw. The test item was then wrapped with a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. After 24 h hours of exposure remainings of the test item were washed-off. The animals were observed during 14 days. Lethality and viability were observed twice daily, and bodyweight was monitored at day 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15. Clinical signs were observed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15. Necropsy of survivors and macroscopic examination were also performed. Internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. 

No mortality occurred. Clinical signs observed were: Lethargy, hunched posture, piloerection, chromodacryorrhoea (snout) and/or ptosis were noted for all animals on Day 1. General erythema, scales and/or scabs were seen in the treated skin-area of most animals during the observation period. These local effects were considered not to have affected the conclusion of the study. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of JNJ-119717-AAA (T001036) in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results showing an LD50 between 300 - 2000 mg/kg bw and according to the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, JNJ-119717-AAA (T001036) should be classified as acute oral toxic category 4 and should be labeled as H302: Harmful if swallowed.

 

No data were available to decide on the classification for the inhalation route.

 

Based on the dermal LD50 exceeding 2000 mg/kg bw, JNJ-119717-AAA (T001036) does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
