Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) for test chemical was considered based on experimental study, the value considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw in rats and mice. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

 

Acute Inhalation toxicity:

The test substance has very low vapor pressure (0.00000256 Pa at 25 degC). Also, the particle size distribution of the substance was found to vary in the size of 55-250 µm, so the potential for the generation of inhalable dust forms is low. Moreover the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be unlikely to occur, and therefore acute toxicity by inhalation route was considered to be waived.

 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

 

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) for test chemical was considered based on experimental study, the value considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw in rabbits. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this; acute oral toxicity study of test chemical in female rats is as given below:
The acute oral LD50 value of test chemical was 5000 mg/kg body weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute oral toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.
Executive summary:

This study was performed as per OECD No. 423. Twelve female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study.

The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 3-4 hours post dosing, with food withheld but drinking water providedad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.

Three rats of group G1 were dosed with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the group G1 were dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Three animals of the group G2 were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed, therefore another three animals of same group G2 were dose with 2000 mg/kg and no mortality was observed. Hence, further dosing was stopped.

Body weights were re­corded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight was observed with gain was observed in the animals treated with 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight, during the 14 day observation period, as compared to day 0.

At 300 mg/kg, all the six animals (animal nos. 1-6) were observed normal throughout experimental period. At 2000mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to moderate lethargy at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours and mild ataxia at 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14. Animal no. 8 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to severe lethargy at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours and mild to moderate ataxia at 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14. Animal no. 9 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, moderate to severe lethargy and mild to moderate ataxia at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14.Animal nos. 10-12 were observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to moderate lethargy at 2, 3 and 4 hours and mild ataxia at 3 and 4 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14.

No external and internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.

The acute oralL D50 value of test chemical was 5000 mg/kg body weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute oral toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute dermal toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.
Executive summary:

This study was performed as per OECD No.402.

Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment.

On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the surgical gauze patch was put on to the intact skin of clipped area.This gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing.The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape.After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and theskin was gently wiped with distilled water.The skin reactions were assessed.

The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were re­corded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period.

No clinical signs and any skin reaction were observed throughout the experimental period in all treated animals.

The male and female animals were observed with body weight gain compared to day 0 throughout the experiment.

The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality.


Under the conditions of this; acute dermal toxicity study of test chemical in rats is as given below:

The acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute dermal toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

This study was performed as per OECD No. 423.Twelve female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study.

The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 3-4 hours post dosing, with food withheld but drinking water providedad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.

Three rats of group G1 were dosed with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the group G1 were dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Three animals of the group G2 were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed, therefore another three animals of same group G2 were dose with 2000 mg/kg and no mortality was observed. Hence, further dosing was stopped.

Body weights were re­corded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight was observed with gain was observed in the animals treated with 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight, during the 14 day observation period, as compared to day 0.

At 300 mg/kg, all the six animals (animal nos. 1-6) were observed normal throughout experimental period. At 2000mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to moderate lethargy at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours and mild ataxia at 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14. Animal no. 8 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to severe lethargy at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours and mild to moderate ataxia at 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14. Animal no. 9 was observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, moderate to severe lethargy and mild to moderate ataxia at 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14.Animal nos. 10-12 were observed normal at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dosing, mild to moderate lethargy at 2, 3 and 4 hours and mild ataxia at 3 and 4 hours followed by normal clinical sign till day 14.

No external and internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.

The acute oralL D50value of test chemicalwas5000 mg/kg body weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute oral toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.

In another similar study, Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in Wistar albino rats. The study was conducted under the OECD guideline 423 for testing of chemicals. The healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200 ± 20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization to standard laboratory condition and divided into test compound and vehicle control group each having three animals.

Test compound was mixed with distilled water and administered orally at the dose level of 2000mg/kg bw (dose volume 10ml/l) to three female rats. However, vehicle control group treated with distilled water at a dose level of 10 ml/kg bw. The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and twice daily for a period of 14 days. The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study.

 The test compound did not elicit any clinical signs of intoxication throughout the period of observation at the tested dose level 2000 mg/kg bw. Furthermore, no mortality was recorded at the test dose level. Vehicle control group of animals were also free from any mortality and clinical signs.Necropsy results were: EXTERNAL : Skin- Skin and hair coat was observed wet., All external orifices- Normal   

B. INTERNAL : Subcutaneous- No change was observed, Superficial and deep lymph nodes- No change in mesenteric lymph node.

1.ABDOMINAL CAVITY: Opening and general examination- In the abdominal cavity all the organs were present in normal position, Spleen- Normal upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt, Digestive system- No gross changes were observed in stomach and intestine upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt, Liver and biliary ducts- No gross pathological changes were observed, Excretory system- No gross pathological changes were observed upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt, Adrenal- Observed normal, Male/female genital organs – Showed normal colour, consistency and no inflammatory changes upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt.

2. THORACIC CAVITY: Opening and general examination- Thoracic cavity was found to be normal without any fluid, mucous or blood etc, Lungs- observed normal, Heart- No changes were observed in color and consistency. Heart found normal upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt, Thyroid- Normal in shape, size and surface upto highest tested dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt.

3. CRANIAL CAVITY: Brain- Normal in shape and size.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation toxicity:

The test substance has very low vapor pressure (0.00000256 Pa at 25 degC). Also, the particle size distribution of the substance was found to vary in the size of 55-250 µm, so the potential for the generation of inhalable dust forms is low. Moreover the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be unlikely to occur, and therefore acute toxicity by inhalation route was considered to be waived.

Acute Dermal Toxicity: 

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

This study was performed as per OECD No.402.

Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment.

On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the surgical gauze patch was put on to the intact skin of clipped area.This gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing.The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape.After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and theskin was gently wiped with distilled water.The skin reactions were assessed.

The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were re­corded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period.No clinical signs and any skin reaction were observed throughout the experimental period in all treated animals.The male and female animals were observed with body weight gain compared to day 0 throughout the experiment.The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality.

Under the conditions of this; acute dermal toxicity study of test chemical in rats is as given below:

The acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was>2000 mg/kgbody weight.Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not exhibit acute dermal toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.

In another study,Acute dermal toxicity test was performed on 10 wistar male and female rats to determine the LD50 value of test chemical. Ten healthy Wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging bw 200±30 gm) were selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test chemical was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and twice daily for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. Rats were free from any systematic and local clinical signs when observed after 24 hours of patch removal. After 14 days observation no mortality was observed. No body weight change was observed.

Necropsy was conducted at the end of the observation on all the animals (day 15th), did not reveal any significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity. Skin- Skin and hair coat was observed wet, All external orifices- Normal  

INTERNAL: Subcutaneous- No changes were observed, Superficial and deep lymph nodes- No change in mesenteric lymph node.

1. ABDOMINAL CAVITY: Opening and general examination- In the abdominal cavity all the organs were present in normal position, Spleen- No changes were recorded, Digestive system- No gross changes were observed in stomach and intestine, Liver and biliary ducts

- No gross pathological changes were observed, Excretory system- No gross pathological changes were observed, Adrenal- Observed normal, Male/female genital organs – Showed normal colour, consistency and no inflammatory changes.

2. THORACIC CAVITY: Opening and general examination- Thoracic cavity was found to be normal without any fluid, mucous or blood etc, Lungs- No changes were recorded, Heart- No changes were observed in color and consistency, Heart found normal, Thyroid- Normal in shape, size and surface.

3. CRANIAL CAVITY: Brain- Normal in shape and size.

Thus, based on the above summarized studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above experimental studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation,test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier were added so, not possible to classify.
