3.5
The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result (OECD principle 5)
Hierarchical method:The toxicity for a given query compound is estimated using the weighted average of the predictions from several different models. The different models are obtained by using Ward’s method to divide the training set into a series of structurally similar clusters. A genetic algorithm based technique is used to generate models for each cluster. The models are generated prior to runtime.
FDA method: The prediction for each test chemical is made using a new model that is fit to the chemicals that are most similar to the test compound. Each model is generated at runtime.
Nearest neighbor method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the 3 chemicals in the training set that are most similar to the test chemical.
Consensus method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the predicted toxicities from the above QSAR methods (provided the predictions are within the respective applicability domains)

- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: approx. 8-9 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 139-167 g
- Fasting period before study:
Animals were deprived of food overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available.
- Housing:
On arrival and following assignment to the study, animals were group housed (up to 3 animals of the same sex and same dosing group together) in polycarbonate cages (Makrolon MIV type; height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG, Rosenberg, Germany) equipped with water bottles. The room(s) in which the animals were kept were documented in the study records.
Animals were separated during designated procedures/activities. Each cage was clearly labeled.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum):
Pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany) was provided ad libitum throughout the study, except during designated procedures.
The feed was analyzed by the supplier for nutritional components and environmental contaminants. Results of the analysis were provided by the supplier and are on file at the Test Facility.
It is considered that there were no known contaminants in the feed that would interfere with the objectives of the study.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum):
Municipal tap-water was freely available to each animal via water bottles.
Periodic analysis of the water was performed, and results of these analyses are on file at the Test Facility.
It is considered that there were no known contaminants in the water that would interfere with the objectives of the study.
- Acclimation period:
The animals were allowed to acclimate to the Test Facility toxicology accommodation for at least 5 days before the commencement of dosing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Target temperatures of 18 to 24°C with a relative target humidity of 40 to 70% were maintained. The actual daily mean temperature during the study period was 20 to 21°C with an actual daily mean relative humidity of 50 to 53%. A 12 hour light/12 hour dark cycle was maintained. Ten or greater air changes per hour with 100% fresh air (no air recirculation) were maintained in the animal rooms. - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
- Remarks:
- 1% Aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC: Genfarma, Zaandam, The Netherlands)
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle / Amount of vehicle (if gavage):
The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. A dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight was used for each dose.
- Justification for choice of vehicle:
Trial preparations were performed to select the suitable vehicle and to establish a suitable formulation procedure. These trials were not performed as part of this study and these preparations were not used for dosing. Raw Data of these trials will be retained by the Test Facility.
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
Test item dosing formulations (w/w) were homogenized to visually acceptable levels at appropriate concentrations to meet dose level requirements.
The dosing formulations were kept at room temperature until dosing. The dosing formulations were stirred until and during dosing.
No adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test item.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose:
The oral route was selected as it is a possible route of human exposure during manufacture, handling or use of the test item.
The dose levels were based on the OECD test guidelines and were selected from the series 5 (lowest dose level), 50, 300 and 2000 (highest dose level) mg/kg body weight. The starting dose level should be the one that is likely to produce mortality in at least some of the animals and was selected based on available toxicity data of the test item. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 (2 groups of 3)
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Postdose observations were performed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (at least three times) and once daily thereafter. The observation period was 14 days.
Animals were weighed individually on Day 1 (predose), 8 and 15. A fasted weight was recorded on the day of dosing.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology - Statistics:
- The oral LD50 value of the test item was ranked within the following ranges: 0-5, 5-50, 50-300 or 300-2000 mg/kg b.w. or as exceeding 2000 mg/kg b.w. The LD50 cut-off value was established based on OECD guideline 423. No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Hunched posture and piloerection were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. Uncoordinated movements were noted for three out of six animals on Day 1.
- Gross pathology:
- Abnormalities of the kidneys (pelvic dilation) were found in two out of six animals at macroscopic post mortem examination. This finding is occasionally seen in rats of this age and strain and was therefore considered not related to treatment. Macroscopic post mortem examination of the other animals did not reveal any abnormalities.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The oral LD50 value of CH03951 in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, CH03951 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments). - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to assess the toxicity of the test item when administered in a single dose to female rats at one defined dosage. Furthermore, the results of the study allowed the test item to be ranked according to most classification systems, currently in use. This study should provide a rational basis for risk assessment in man.
The study was carried out in compliance with the guidelines described in:
· OECD No.423 (2001) "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method".
· EC No 440/2008, part B: "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method".
· EPA, OPPTS 870.1100 (2002), "Acute Oral Toxicity".
· JMAFF Guidelines (2000), including the most recent revisions.
CH03951 was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar Han rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).
No mortality occurred.
Hunched posture and piloerection were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. Uncoordinated movements were noted for three out of six animals on Day 1.
The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.
The oral LD50 value of CH03951 in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, CH03951 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
Acute toxicity: via inhalation route
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: inhalation
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size
- Justification for type of information:
- Testing by the inhalation route is only appropriate if exposure of humans via inhalation is likely. A dustiness test was conducted and only 2.81 mg dust/ g substance can become airborne under moderate agitation as comparable to conditions a the workplace (see IUCLID section 4.5). This results in a low emission potential. In a particle size distribution test (IUCLID section 4.5) the D50 of the substance is 62.4 μm. Moreover, the vapour pressure of the substance is very low and respiratory protection is always worn during production and use. It can be stated that the substance is not likely to be exposed to humans. Therefore, no inhalation test has been conducted.

The test item was applied in an area of approximately 10% of the total body surface, i.e. approximately 18 cm² for females. The test item was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only. The application period was 24 hours, after which the dressing was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test item using water.
The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. A dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight will be used for each dose.
The dosing formulations were stirred continuously during dose administration.
Justification of Route and Dose Levels
The dermal route was selected as it is a possible route of human exposure during manufacture, handling or use of the test item. The dose levels were based on the OECD test guidelines. - Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg body weight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3
- Control animals:
- no

- Mortality/Moribundity Checks
Throughout the study, animals were observed for general health/mortality and moribundity twice daily, in the morning and at the end of the working day. Animals were not removed from cage during observation, unless necessary for identification or confirmation of possible findings.
Clinical Observations
Post-dose observations were performed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (at least three times) and once daily thereafter. The observation period was 14 days.
All the animals were examined for reaction to dosing. The onset, intensity and duration of these signs was recorded (if appropriate), particular attention being paid to the animals during and for the first hour after dosing.
Animals were weighed individually on Day 1 (pre-dose), 8 and 15.
The skin reactions were assessed approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing and test item. Adjacent areas of untreated skin of each animal served as controls.
Terminal Procedures
All animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure at the end of the observation period. All animals assigned to the study were subjected to necropsy and descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. - Statistics:

- Conclusions:
- The dermal LD50 value of CH03951 in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, CH03951 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments). - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to determine the potential toxicity of CH03951, when given by a single dermal dose.
The study was carried out based on the guideline described in:
· OECD No. 402 (2017) "Acute Dermal Toxicity".
CH03951 was administered to three female Wistar Han rat by a single dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. All animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed or after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).
No mortality occurred.
Ptosis was noted for one animal on Day 1 and hunched posture was noted for two animals on Day 2. No signs of irritation was noted for any of the animals at any time point.
The body weights shown by the animals during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study.
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
The dermal LD50 value of CH03951 in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, CH03951 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
