TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd, Oxon, UK
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals (approximately 8-12 weeks old)
- Weight at study initiation: 161 to 177 g
- Fasting period before study: overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item.
- Housing: Individually housed in polypropylene cages containing woodflakes equipped with water bottles. The room(s) in which the animals were kept were documented in the study records. Each cage was clearly labeled.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted rodent diet (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet; Harlan Laboratories) was provided ad libitum throughout the study, except during designated procedures.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Municipal tap-water was freely available to each animal via water bottles. Periodic analysis of the water was performed, and results of these analyses are on file at the Test Facility. It is considered that there were no known contaminants in the water that would interfere with the objectives of the study.
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 to 25°C
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): Fifteen or greater air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/12-hour dark

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Doses:

2000 mg/kg body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of Reaction Mass of 1-isopropyl-2,2 dimethyltrimethylene diisobutyrate and 3-benzoyloxy-2,2,4-trimethyl pentyl isobutyrate and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-1,3-diyl dibenzoate in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to determine the potential toxicity of the test substance, when given by oral gavage at a single dose to rats of a single sex at 2000 mg/kg bw

The test substance was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight.  Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight.  Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 14). No mortality occurred. The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The oral LD50 value in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results, the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
