Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Reaction mass of 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenol and 2,6-bis(1-phenylethyl) phenol
EC Number:
915-333-5
IUPAC Name:
Reaction mass of 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenol and 2,6-bis(1-phenylethyl) phenol
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Of note, in the absence of specific data on the registered Reaction mass of o-(1-phenylethyl) phenol and bis(1-phenylethyl) phenol and 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenol and the obligation to generate some data for intermediates, data from the Reaction mass of 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenol and 2,6-bis(1-phenylethyl) phenol have been included in the dossier by default as comparable hazard profile could be expected between both substances.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No mortality occurred in Sprague-Dawley rats given a single oral dose up to 40 g/kg inclusive, during a 14-day observation period.
TSP/DSP is not classified for oral toxicity according to the criteria of Annex VI Directive 67/748/EEC or UN/EU GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (RBM study No. 970071), groups of fasted Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex), aged less than 3-month old, received a single oral dose of Tristyrenated phenol/Distyrenated phenol (75/25 molar %) at doses of  5, 10 or 20 g/kg bw (females only) or 40 g/kg bw (males and females), and were observed for 14 days.

No oral LD50 could be determined because no mortality occurred up to the dose of 40 g/kg inclusive.

 

At 20 and 40 g/kg, hypoactivity, piloerection and hunched posture were observed 2 to 4 h after dosing, and diarrhea and urine-stained perineum within a few days after dosing. At 10 g/kg, piloerection was observed from day 4 and urine-stained perineum occurred in one animal between days 4 and 6. Recovery was noted on day 8 at 10 and 20 g/kg. Slight decreases in body weight (down to -10% versus pre-dose based on individual data) were observed on day 3 at 20 and 40 g/kg. No abnormality was seen at necropsy.

TSP/DSP is not classified for oral toxicity according to the criteria of Annex VI Directive 67/748/EECor UN/EU GHS 

 

This acute oral study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the OECD 401 guideline requirements for an acute oral study in the rat.
