Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Female: 2000 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 5; Number of deaths: 0
- Clinical signs:
- other: All animals showed slightly ruffled fur from the 30-minute, 1-hour or 2-hour reading until the 5-hour observation timepoint. This sign persisted in four animals until test day 2, 3 or 4. Hunched posture was also observed in 4 animals from the 30- minu
- Gross pathology:
- Effects on organs:
No macroscopic findings were recorded at the scheduled necropsy.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test material is not harmul by the oral route.
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study (RCC 2007 study n° B05657), 5 Wistar female rats were given a single oral dose of undiluted Dimethyl 2-methyl glutarate at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.
Oral LD50Females > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Dimethyl 2-methyl glutarate is not classified based on the LD50 in females.
No mortality was observed. The clinical signs consisted of slightly ruffled fur, hunched posture and slight sedation in most animals. There was no effect on body weight gain.
This acute oral study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for an acute oral study (OECD425) in the rat.
