Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

Acute toxicity of quinolin-8-ol (CAS 148-24-3) was tested in Wistar rats according to OECD TG 401 (reference 7.2.1-1). The test substance was administered at concentrations of 600, 756, 953 and 1200 mg/kg bw as suspension in tylose and tween via gavage to groups of 10 males and females. Mortality was observed in males and females starting at concentrations of 756 and 600 mg/kg bw, respectively. In detail, in the highest dose group, all animals died within 48 hours after substance application. At 756 and 953 mg/kg bw, 3/10 and 9/10 males and females died until the end of the observation period, respectively. No mortality was observed in the lower dose groups with except of one female. Clinical signs indicative for systemic toxicity were observed in all dose groups, including ataxia, listlessness, abdominal pain, and sedation and tremor at 953 mg/kg bw. Furthermore, slightly decreased body weight gains correlated to reduced food intake were observed in all dose groups. Necropsy examination revealed a lobular pattern of the liver and mottled kidneys at the lowest dose level. In the higher dose groups, hyperemia of stomach and small intestine were observed. Based on the observed mortalities, a LD50 of 790 and 800 mg/kg bw was derived for females and males, respectively. Thus, as the female animals appeared to be the most sensitive species, an overall LD50 of 790 mg/kg bw is considered for quinolin-8-ol.

In conclusion, quinolin-8-ol is considered to exhibit hazardous properties after single exposure. A LD50 = 790 mg/kg bw is derived.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Although the available data on acute oral toxicity meet the classification criteria for Acute toxicity Category 4, H302 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the registrant follows the suggested classification of the RAC opinion for Acute toxicity Category 3, H301 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. The proposed classification is based on an acute toxicity study following oral exposure in mice in which a LD50 value of 177 mg/kg bw was determined.
