- Mortality:
- At 1800 mg/kg bw, one male and one female died on day 0, one female died on day 3. No rats exposed to 2400 mg/kg died. At 3200 mg/kg bw, 3 males and 3 females died on day 0. Mortalities on day 0 occurred a few hours after dosing.
- Clinical signs:
- other: The female that died 3 days after exposure to 1800 mg/kg bw was found to be lethargic, have breathing problems (gasping), tremors, increased salivation, inflamed eyes, piloerection, bloody nose encrustation and diarrhea. For the other animals exposed to

- Macroscopic examination of surviving animals at the end of the study showed no test substance related gross abnormalities.
Macroscopic examination of animals found dead revealed test substance related petechia (1 rat in 1800 mg/kg group) or erosion of the gastro intetsinal tract (2 rats in 1800 mg/kg group and 1 rat in 3200 mg/kg group), followed by bloody content (2 rats in 3200 mg/kg group). Other gross internal findings were aqueous gastrointestinal content (possibly test substance; in 4 animals dosed with 3200 mg/kg), enlarged submaxillary lymphnode (2 rats in 1800 mg/kg group), yellowish discoloured stomach content (1 rat in 1800 mg/kg group), enlarged adrenals and renal hyperemia (1 rat in 1800 mg/kg group and 1 rat in 3200 mg/kg group resp.).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In an oral toxicity test according to OECD 401 with rats, the LD50 was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. According to these data, the substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
In an oral toxicity test according to OECD 401, 5 male and 5 female rats were exposed to a single dose of TPAB at 1800, 2400 or 3200 mg/kg. No animals died in the group exposed to 2400 mg/kg bw, in the 1800 mg/kg bw group 3 animals (1male/ 2 females) died and at 3200 mg/kg bw 6 rats died (3 males/ 3 females). Lethargic behaviour was noted for most of the exposed animals, also cases of diarrhea, bloody nose encrustation and occasional tremors were noted. No body weight effect was reported in the surviving animals. Macroscopic examination of surviving animals at the end of the study showed no test substance related gross abnormalities. Macroscopic examination of animals found dead revealed test substance related petechia or erosion of the gastro intestinal tract, followed by bloody content. Other gross internal findings were aqueous gastrointestinal content (possibly test substance; in the majority of animals), enlarged submaxillary lymphnode, yellowish discoloured stomach content, enlarged adrenals and renal hyperemia.
The LD50 for both males and females was found to be 3500 mg/kg bw. Therefore this substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
