Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six groups of 10 female young adult Wister rats (avarage weight 88 g) each reveived per gavage a single dose of 2500, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000 or 100000 mg/kg bw m-trifluoromethylphenylisocyanate. The animals were observed for mortality, weight and clinical signs through day 14. A necropsy was performed on animals during the post-observation time.

GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

Six groups of 10 female young adult Wister rats (avarage weight 88 g) each reveived per gavage a single dose of 2500, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000 or 100000 mg/kg bw m-trifluoromethylphenylisocyanate. The animals were observed for mortality, weight and clinical signs through day 14. A necropsy was performed on animals during the post-observation time.

Animals which died during tests had a prone position and balance disturbances. Additionally evidence of an inactive behaviour was seen. An increased vascular network of the bowel and intestine was found macroscopically. LD 50 = 6604 mg/kg bw (rat, female).
