Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Remarks:
- Milli-Q water
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
Based on the solubility / suspendability test, the test item is miscible and
formed homogeneous suspension with Milli-Q water. Hence Milli-Q water was
used as vehicle for oral administration. The Milli-Q water was commonly used
for toxicological studies in our laboratory and was found to be non-toxic in
several animal species upon single and repeat dose administration.
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:
50 ml - Doses:
- 0, 50, 50, 300 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3
- Control animals:
- yes
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration:
14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
The body weights were recorded on test Day 1 (pre-administration), Day 8
(7 days post administration), Day 15 (14 days post administration) and Preterminally
dead rats.
- Necropsy of survivors performed:
yes
- Clinical signs including body weight
At each step, the animals were observed five times on test Day 1 (day of
administration) i.e. at 30 minutes and four times at hourly intervals and once daily during Day 2 to 15 post administration. Due to clinical signs of toxicity observed during treatment day an additional observation was carried out at the end of the treatment day.
Observations included changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Attention was directed to the observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma and all observed clinical signs were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item, Lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate (1-) is classified as follows:
• The test item is classified as “Category 3” (LD50 range >50 to 300 mg/kg
bodyweight) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex
2c of the Guideline OECD 423 .
• The test item is classified as “Category 3” (oral LD50 in the range of >50
to 300 mg/kg bodyweight) as per Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Eighth Revised Edition,
United Nations (2019). ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.8, as there was no mortality
observed at 50 mg/kg body weight . - Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity study with Lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate (1-) in Wistar rats was conducted to assess the toxicological profile of the test item.
The dose formulation was prepared by using Milli-Q water and administered as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted (16 to 18 hours) three female rats (G1-FTS) at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. The clinical signs of hypoactivity, recumbent, abdominal respiration and slight piloerection were observed during
2nd hour post dose observation to end of the treatment day 1 and two rats died on day 2. Hypoactivity, slight piloerection, perineum wet with urine and weakness were observed in one rat during 2nd hour post dose observation to day 2 and rat died on day 3. Hence as per Annex 2c (OECD Guideline 423), the treatment was continued by dosing three additional female rats at the next lower dose of 50 mg/kg body weight (G2-FTS). All rats were normal and there were no pre-terminal deaths observed. As per Annex 2c (OECD Guideline 423), the treatment was continued by dosing three additional female rats at the same dose of 50 mg/kg body weight (G2-STS). All rats were normal and there were no pre-terminal deaths observed.As per scheme, the dosing was stopped at this stage.
The prepared dose formulation was administered at the dose volume of 10 mL/kg bodyweight.
The rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days post treatment. Body weights were recorded shortly prior to dosing on Day 1 and again on Day 8, 15 and at death. Necropsy was performed for all the survived and dead rats. All survived rats gained weight when compared to their initial body weight. There were no gross pathological changes at necropsy for survived and dead rats.Based on the results of the present study, the LD50 of the test item Lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate (1-) is 200 mg/kg bodyweight as per the LD50 cut-off value.
The test item Lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate (1-) is classified as follows:
• The test item is classified as “Category 3” (LD50 range >50 to 300) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2c of the Guideline OECD 423.
• The test item is classified as “Category 3” (oral LD50 in the range of >50 to 300 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Eighth Revised Edition, United Nations
(2019). ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.8.
