Principles of method if other than guideline:

After some preliminary observations, the test material was given undiluted, by gavage to groups of five males and five females, in one single dose of 10.0 ml per kg body weight.
After treatment the rats received stock diet and tap water as libitum.
They were observed for signs of intication during 14 day period, after which autopsies were carried out on the survivors.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Test type:

acute toxic class method

Specific details on test material used for the study:

A 50 ml sample of the test material was received from the principal in January 1978. It was a colourless liquid with a pugent odour, designated Sinodor 688 and coded M-76-193.

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Remarks:

Young adult albino rats (wistar-derived)

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Young adult albino rats (Wistar-derived) from the Institue's colony were used. The body weights of males varied from 209 to 248g, those of females from 145 to 186g. The rats were housed in groups of five in screen-bottomed stainless steel cages, in a well-ventilated room, maintained at 23-25°C. Before dosing the rats were fasted overnight.

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

After some preliminary observations, the test material was given undiluted, by gavage to groups of five males and five females, in one single dose of 10.0 ml per kg body weight.

Doses:

10.0 ml per kg body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

After some preliminary observations, the test material was given undiluted, by gavage to groups of five males and five females, in one single dose of 10.0 ml per kg body weight. Due to the small quantity of the test material, no higher doses could be given. After treatment the rats received stock diet and tap water ad libitum. They were observed for signs of intoxication during a 14 day period, after which autopsies were carried out on the survivors.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

From these results it appears that the oral LD50 of Sinodor exceeds 10 ml per kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity was determined with a method similar to OECD Guideline 401.

At a dose of 10 ml/kg body weight, no deaths occured and clinical signs a few hours after dosing were that the rats showed signs of sluggishness and decreased activity.

Later on the rats recovered and looked quite healthy during the remaining part of the observation period. Macroscopic examination of the survivors at autopsy revealed no treatment related gross alterations.

From these results it appears that the oral LD50 of Sinodor exceeds 10 ml per kg body weight, GHS criteria not met.

Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity Study:

Acute oral toxicity was determined with a method similar to OECD Guideline 401.

At a dose of 10 ml/kg body weight, no deaths occured and clinical signs a few hours after dosing were that the rats showed signs of sluggishness and decreased activity.

Later on the rats recovered and looked quite healthy during the remaining part of the observation period. Macroscopic examination of the survivors at autopsy revealed no treatment related gross alterations.

From these results it appears that the oral LD50 of Sinodor exceeds 10 ml per kg body weight, GHS criteria not met.

Acute Dermal Toxicity Study:

Ten rabbits were administered 5 g/kg of the test material, and the animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days. No deaths or effects observed so acute dermal LD50 > 5g/kg. No classification required.

An OECD QSAR Toolbox analysis was performed for this endpoint and predicted an LD50 above 10g/kg, confirming the above selected one-to-one read-across.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available and key results described in this summary, the substance has shown no acute systemic toxicity potential and should therefore not be classified for acute toxicity according to the (EC) No 1272/2008 Regulation (CLP).
