Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
- 2/10 animals died on Day 1.
Clinical signs:
other: - At 2 h, lethargy, ataxia and loss of righting reflex were noted in animals. - At 24 h, lethargy in 3/8 animals and piloerection in 2/8 animals were noted.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy, lungs and stomach were red in 2 animals.
Other findings:
None

None

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for Dimetol is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, 10 rats were given a single oral dose of Dimetol at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity for 14 days.

Two of the 10 rats died on Day 1. At 2 h, lethargy, ataxia and loss of righting reflex were noted in rats. At 24 h, lethargy in 3/8 rats and piloerection in 2/8 rats were noted. At necropsy, lungs and stomach were red in 2 rats.

The oral LD50 for Dimetol is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 of DIMETOL is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of CFE rats (2 or 5/sex/dose) were given a single oral dose of DIMETOL at 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 mL/kg bw in corn oil. Animals were then observed for mortality for 5 days and LD50 value was calculated using Litchfield and Wilcoxon method (1949).

After 5 days, mortalities were 0/10, 2/10, 3/10, 6/10 and 4/4 at 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 mL/kg bw, respectively. In this study, the combined oral LD50 of DIMETOL in rats was considered to be 5.82 (5.35-6.32) mL/kg bw [equivalent to 4714 (4333-5119) mg/kg bw; calculated using the density of 0.81 g/L (literature)]

The oral LD50 of DIMETOL is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation.
