Acid Red 131:1

Acute Toxicity: oral

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: oral

Type of information:

other: read across from similar substance

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: The test parameters documented do not totally comply with a testing guideline but they are sufficient to accept the data, even if pathology was not performed. The complete justification for the Read Across approach is reported in the Section 13.

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

In order to determine the dose/response relationship of the test substance, groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were treated with various single doses of the compound, diluted in distilled water by gavage. Symptoms and mortality after administration were recorded during an observation period of 8 days.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 15 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality was observed up to the dose of 15000 mg/kg bw

Clinical signs:

No symptoms at doses of 1000 to 3000 mg/kg . Reduction of spontaneous motility was observed after 3 hours after dose administration of 10000 mg/kg . No symptoms have not been recorded after 24 hours. At the dose of 15000 mg/kg, reduction of spontaneous motility, hypoventilation and slight ataxia were observed.

Body weight:

No weight loss was observed for all tested doses

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information according to the CLP Regulation Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions, the test substance was practically devoid of toxicity at each dose level.
The acute oral LD50 in rats was established to be > 15000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The oral acute toxicity study was performed according to an internal method: groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were treated with various single doses of the compound, diluted in distilled water by gavage. Symptoms and mortality after administration were recorded during an observation period of 8 days.

The acute oral LD50 in rats was established to be > 15000 mg/kg bw.
