Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summaring FEB pharmaco-toxicological properties, was used. However, the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on September, 2013; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral toxicity

No data were found for FEB in the scientific literature. As a result of read-across with Diphenylacetic acid LD50 by oral route is 5540 mg/kg on rat. Therefore, data are inconclusive for classification.

Acute dermal toxicity

No data were found for FEB in the scientific literature. As a result of read-across with Diphenylacetic acid LD50 by subcutaneous route is 400 mg/kg. Overall, data are inconclusive to classify this endpoint.

STOT SE (Specific target organ toxicity - single)

No data were found for FEB in the scientific literature. As a result of the acute toxicity test for a structural analogue of FEB, the animals showed changes in motor activity and behavioral disorder as ataxia. Overall, these data are judged as conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
