Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. When male and female wistar rats were treated with Methyl 2-naphthyl ether (93-04-9) by dermal application .
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity study of Methyl 2-naphthyl etherin Rats was performed as per OECD No. 402. 5 male and 5 female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. 24 hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the porous gauze dressing was put on to the intact skin of clipped area.This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water.The skin reactions were assessed. All the animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs, body weight and gross pathology. No mortality were observed in any animal, normal clinical signs were observed. Mean body weight of male and female was observed with increase on day 7 and 14, as compared to day 0. No pathological abnormality were observed. Thus the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. When male and female wistar rats were treated with Methyl 2-naphthyl ether (93-04-9) by dermal application .
