Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: variable to allow constant dosage volume per kg body weight.
- Amount of vehicle: 10 mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at Charles River Den Bosch and on test item data supplied by the sponsor.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg body weight

DOSAGE PREPARATION: Formulations were kept at room temperature and dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. Homogeneity was obtained by heating the formulations in a water bath with a maximum temperature of 40.7ºC for a maximum of 63 minutes. The formulations were allowed to cool to a temperature of maximally 40ºC prior to dosing.

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: the starting dose was according to OECD guideline 423 (2000 mg/kg body weight). However, because no correction for the water content and impurities was made at dosing of the intended dose of 2000 mg/kg, the actual dose applied was 1850 mg/kg. The presence of mortality determined the dosing in the next step (300 mg/kg body weight).

Doses:

The study was performed in a stepwise manner with a starting dose of 1850 mg/kg. The presence of mortality determined the dose of 300 mg/kg for the next steps.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per test (9 in total)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of weighing: on days 1, 8 and 15 and at death
- Frequency of observations:
Mortality/viability: twice daily
Clinical signs: at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed.

Dose descriptor:

Effect level:

> 300 - < 1 850 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

At 1850 mg/kg, one animal was found dead on day 2 and two animals were euthanized moribund on day 2.
At 300 mg/kg, one animal was found dead on day 14 and one animal was euthanized moribund on day 9. The remaining four animals survived until the end of the observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: At 1850 mg/kg, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements and piloerection were noted for all animals on days 1 and 2 and lethargy, flat posture, laboured respiration, shallow respiration, diarrhoea, salivation, pale appearance and ptosis were noted for all

Gross pathology:

At 1850 mg/kg, many abnormalities of the stomach gastrointestinal tract and liver were found at post mortem examination.
At 300 mg/kg, many abnormalities of the stomach, spleen, thymus and liver were found and growing together of organs in the abdominal cavity was found at post mortem examination. Cannibalism was noted for the animal found dead (300 mg/kg).

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results of chemical analysis of dose formulations:

Chemical analysis showed that the test item formulations can be considered stable as used under the conditions during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Category 4 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with rats, performed according to OECD guideline 423 and GLP principles, the oral LD50 of 1-Decanaminium, N-decyl-N,N-dimethyl-, heaxanedioate (2:1) was established to be within the range of 300-1850 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results, the test substance is classified as Category 4 according to GHS and as Category 4 (labeled as H302) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
