Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 value of tetraammineplatinum hydrogen carbonate was determined to exceed 2150 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity test, conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 401 (withdrawn in 2002) and to GLP, HsdCpb: WU rats (5/sex) were gavaged with tetraammineplatinum hydrogen carbonate (as a suspension in aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose) at a limit dose of 2150 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.

 

Three males showed reduced movement, staggered gait and sunken sides starting 75 minutes after dosing and lasting until day 1 or 4 after dosing. One of these males additionally showed clonic convulsions, diarrhoea, piloerection, stilted gait, red crusted nose and emaciation, and subsequently died (on day 5 after dosing). The other two males showed no signs of toxicity during the observation period.

 

All females exhibited diarrhoea, and some showed staggered and/or stilted gait, reduced movement and sunken sides. These effects were evident from 90 minutes after dosing, and lasted for 6 days or, in one animal, until death (on day 6).

 

The acute oral LD50 value was therefore determined to exceed 2150 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.

 

Based on the results of this study, tetraammineplatinum hydrogen carbonate does not require classification for acute oral toxicity according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
