Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: other routes
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Documentation is insufficient for assessment. The study was performed in the early seventies, i.e. prior to implementation of current guidelines. Only very limited information is provided. No guideline was followed.

Title:
Embryonic-fetal toxicity and teratogenic effects of adipic acid esters in rats
Author:
Singh, A.R. et al.
Year:
1973
Bibliographic source:
J Pharm Sci 62(10):1596-600

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Within an embryonic-fetal toxicity and teratogenicity rat study using i.p. injection for treatment, the acute toxicity first was determined. For this purpose, graded doses of the test item were administered by i.p. injection to rats and the LD50 was derived.
GLP compliance:
no
Limit test:
no
