Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
1 female rat died after 48 hours after administration at the 5.0 ml/Kg bodyweight
Clinical signs:
no clinical sign

Any other information on results incl. tables

No deaths occured and no overt signs of toxicity were observed in the range finding study during the fourteen day observation period.

In the main study, one female rat died 48 hours after administration. The remaining animals survived the fourteen day observation period showing no overt signs of toxicity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of TETRAHYDRO CITRAL in rat is likely to be in excess of 5.0 ml/Kg bw. Hence the GHS criteria are not met for classification.
Executive summary:

For the range finding study, the animals were divided into groups of two (1 male and 1 female) per dose group.

In the main study the animals were divided into groups of ten (5 males and 5 females) per dose group.

The animals were fasted overnight prior to dosing. Immediately before dosing animals were individually weight , and the required dose administered as a single peroral injection using a metal cannula.

The animals were examined for overt sign of toxicity immediately after dosing, four hours after dosing and then daily for fourteen days.

No deaths occured and no overt signs of toxicity were observed in the range finding study during the fourteen day observation period.

In the main study, one female rat died 48 hours after administration. The remaining animals survived the fourteen day observation period showing no overt signs of toxicity.

The LD50 of TETRAHYDRO CITRAL in rat is likely to be in excess of 5.0 ml/Kg bw. Hence the GHS criteria are not met for classification.
