Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 1.66E-8 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered in the range of >300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (300 ≤ 2000)” criteria of CLP.
Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in reduced locomotor activity, ataxic gait, tremors and convulsions with onset at 5 to 10 minutes after the dosing. Two animals died at 10 minutes and one animal died at 30 minutes after the dosing. 

All animals from 300 mg/kg dose group survived and exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg dose group. Gross pathological examination revealed residual unabsorbed test item in stomach in all found dead animals from 2000 mg/kg dose group. 

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered in the range of >300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (300 ≤ 2000)” criteria of CLP.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in reduced locomotor activity, ataxic gait, tremors and convulsions with onset at 5 to 10 minutes after the dosing. Two animals died at 10 minutes and one animal died at 30 minutes after the dosing. 

All animals from 300 mg/kg dose group survived and exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg dose group. Gross pathological examination revealed residual unabsorbed test item in stomach in all found dead animals from 2000 mg/kg dose group. 

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered in the range of >300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (300 ≤ 2000)” criteria of CLP.

 

Above study is contradicted with the data mentioned in databases for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rats at the concentration of 2220 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for general clinical signs. 50% mortality was observed at 2220 mg/kg bw. Changes in skin and appendages; behavioural changes: somnolence (general depressed activity); gastrointestinal: changes in structure or function of salivary glands were observed in treated animals. Therefore, the LD50 value was considered to be 2220 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route. Detailed data is not available for this study. Hence, this study won’t be considered for the classification.

Thus, based on the above summarised experimental study on test chemical, all rats were died at 2000 mg/kg bw, hence the LD100 was considered to be 2000 mg/kg bw. Considering this value, the LD50 value can be assumed to be 1000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4 (300 – ≤ 2000)” for acute oral toxicity.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 1.66E-8 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

Acute Dermal Toxicity:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) in Sprague Dawley rats.

The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. 

It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.

Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.

Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity and LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing these range and value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity and cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
