Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
The substance is of low acute toxicity in mammals by both the oral and dermal routes. The acute oral LD50 is > 2350 mg/kg (based on active ingredient) while the acute dermal LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg (based on test material). The acute dermal toxicity has been addressed by use of read-across from a structurally related substance (methyl trimethyl-3-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]propylammonium sulphate; CAS No.10595-49-0).Testing by the inhalation route is not scientifically justified.

- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study similar to OECD Guideline 401 (1981) 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single dose of the substance (a.i. 47 %) at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw (limit test). The test item was formulated in water and applied in a volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Animals were subsequently observed for 14 consecutive days.There were no deaths following a single oral dose of the substance. Except of ruffled fur on the day of treatment, the animals were free of clinical/ toxicological signs during the entire observation period of 14 days. Necropsies were performed on all animals at the end of the 14-day observation period. In one animal a slight thickening of the stomach mucosa could be observed. Necropsies of all other animals showed no test compound-related macroscopic findings in the cranial-, thoracic- and abdominal cavity.
Oral LD50Combined: > 2350 mg/kg bw (active ingredient)
LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw determined in the study report refers to the test substance as delivered by the sponsor. Amount of active ingredient in test substance is 47 % according to the sponsor information. Therefore the calculated oral LD50 combined referring to 100 % active substance is 2350 mg/kg bw. The substance is practically nontoxic based on LD50 in males and females.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: inhalation
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size
Reference

- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of CAS#10595 -49 -0 was assessed in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to be compatible with OECD 402 and Method B3 Acute Toxicity (Dermal) of EC No. 440/2008.
A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi-occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
There were no deaths. There were no signs of systemic toxicity. Signs of dermal irritation noted were very slight to well-defined erythema, very slight to slight oedema, haemorrhage of dermal capillaries, blanching of the skin, light brown discolouration of the epidermis, loss of skin elasticity, crust formation, small superficial scattered scabs and scab lifting to reveal dried blood or glossy skin.
Animals showed expected gains in bodyweight, except for one female which showed bodyweight loss during the first week but expected gain in bodyweight during the second week. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
