Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: BASF-Test
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- In priciple the BASF Test used the method described in OECD Guideline 423.
3 rats per sex and dose were treated simultaneously by gavage (single administration) with preparations of the test substance in water. Two doses were tested. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 14 days study period. The clinical signs and findings were reported in summary form. On the basis of the observed lethality, the LD50 value was estimated as dose range (LD50 < that dose which killed more than 50% of the animals, LD50 > that dose which killed less than 50% of the animals). - GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- internal standards comparable to GLP
- Test type:
- acute toxic class method
- Limit test:
- no

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 200 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- other: All animals (male and female) dosed with 2000mg/Kg died after 1 day. All animals dosed with 200mg/kg survived until the end of the study.
- Mortality:
- After a single application of 2000 mg/kg test substance all animals (males and females) died within the first day. No mortality was observed after the administration of 200mg/Kg.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Symptoms only occured at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg of the test substance for male and female animals partially 30 min after application. Symptoms included: dyspnea, apathy, abnormal body positions, staggering, paresis, piloerection, exsiccosis and a poor gen
- Gross pathology:
- Animals died during the study (2000 mg/kg dose group) showed a general congestion. Additionally, a moderate emphysema of the lungs, an intense red fore-/glandular stomach was observed with a thickened wall as well as the small intestine possessed a reddened mucosa and bloody contents.
For sacrified animals (200 mg/kg dose group) no pathological findings were noted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: The result range (> 200 < 2000 mg/kg) may belong to Toxicity Category 3 as well as to Toxicity Category 4
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of Octamethylenediamine was investigated in male and female rats (Kirsch and Hildebrand, 1989). Doses of 200 mg/kg bw and 2000 mg/kw bw were applied to 3 animals per sex per dose. The substance were administered by oral gavage. The symptoms of intoxication were only observed at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw and included dyspnea, apathy, abnormal body positions, staggering, paresis, piloerection, exsiccosis and a general bad condition of the animals, starting partially already 30 min after application. All animals (male and female) died in the dose group of 2000 mg/kg bw within the first day after application. No animal died in the lower dose group. Animals died during the study (2000 mg/kg dose group) were examined as soon as possible and showed a general congestion. Additionally, a moderate emphysema (of the lungs), an intense red fore-/glandular stomach was observed with a thickened wall as well as the small intestine possessed a reddened mucosa and bloody contents.
For sacrified animals (14 days after application) no pathological findings were noted. Due to these results, the oral toxicity is characterised by a LD50 range more than 200 mg/kg bw but less than 2000 mg/kg bw for both male and female rats together.
