Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were examined shortly after dosing and approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and daily thereafter for 14 consecutive days. On the day of dosing all animals were weighed in order to calculate the amount of test article to be administered. They were weighed again on day 8 and on day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Sex:

Dose descriptor:

Effect level:

Based on:

Mortality:
One female was euthanasied on day 2 as death was considered to be inevitable. The remaining animals survived to the end of the study.
Clinical signs:
other: A hunched posture was seen in all females and most males from day 1, but by day 3 all surviving animals appeared to be outwardly healthy.
Gross pathology:
No significant findings that are not consistent with background macroscopic pathology of the strain.
Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in male and female Crl:CD(SD)BR strain (VAF plus) of rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to a method equivalent to EU Method B.1 and/or OECD TG 401 guidelines in accordance with GLP. The test material was administered as a single oral dose, by gavage, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight to a group of 5 male and 5 female rats following an overnight fast. The animals were observed for 14 days and survivors were then euthanized. All animals were subject to necropsy. One female was humanely euthanized as death was considered to be inevitable; all remaining animals survived to the end of the study. Clinical signs of toxicity were noted in most animals on the day of dosing, but all surviving animals appeared outwardly healthy from day 3 onwards. There was no adverse effect on bodyweight gain in animals of either sex. Necropsy findings were of low incidence and are considered not to be significant. When administered as a single oral dose of 2000 mg/ kg bodyweight, the test material produced some evidence of toxicity in the rat. The LD50 for both sexes combined is estimated to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg.

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
Further information is included in attachment to IUCLID section 13.

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The read-across is based on the hypothesis that the source and target substances have common structural features in the same relative positions. The source and target have similar physico-chemical, toxicological properties and because of common metabolism they share common or have similar breakdown products and therefore potential mechanisms of action. Further information is included in attachment to IUCLID section 13.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
The source and target chemicals have comparable chemical similarity. Further information is included in attachment to IUCLID section 13

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The source substance is a chemically similar substance with common metabolism and common or similar degradants of the target substance. Further information is included in attachment to IUCLID section 13

4. DATA MATRIX
Further information is included in attachment to IUCLID section 13.

Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity:

1. Eq. to EU Method B.1, 1992 : Read-Across - SOURCE (4-methyl-2-phenyltetrahydro-2H-pyran): The study was performed according to a method equivalent to EU Method B.1 and/or OECD TG 401 guidelines in accordance with GLP. The test material was administered as a single oral dose, by gavage, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight to a group of 5 male and 5 female rats following an overnight fast. The animals were observed for 14 days and survivors were then euthanized. All animals were subject to necropsy. One female was humanely euthanized as death was considered to be inevitable; all remaining animals survived to the end of the study. Clinical signs of toxicity were noted in most animals on the day of dosing, but all surviving animals appeared outwardly healthy from day 3 onwards. There was no adverse effect on bodyweight gain in animals of either sex. Necropsy findings were of low incidence and are considered not to be significant. When administered as a single oral dose of 2000 mg/ kg bodyweight, the test material produced some evidence of toxicity in the rat. The LD50 for both sexes combined is estimated to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not meet classification criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for acute toxicity.

 

The weight of evidence based on read-across to analogue substances; via the oral route indicates that the substance cannot be expected to produce acute toxicity sufficient for classification and labelling under the EU criteria at category 4 levels. The substance would be expected to be classified in GHS category 5 levels with an expected LD50 of > 2000 and < 5000 mg/kg bw.
