Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In this acute dermal toxicity study in rats an LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw was found.
- Executive summary:
A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single oral dose of test material as a solution in dimethyl sulphoxide at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The study was performed according to OECD guideline 402 and GLP. The animals were observed for fourteen days and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. 2/5 males were found dead. Signs of systemic toxicity noted were ataxia, hunched posture, lethargy, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration with additional signs or incidents of pilo-erection, ptosis, gasping and noisy respiration, loss of righting reflex, increased salivation, red/brown stains around the mouth or snout and splayed gait. Surviving animals recovered three to six days alter dosing. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the males that died during the study were haemorrhagic lungs, dark liver and dark kidneys. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study. The LD50 >2000 mg/kg.
