Description of key information

Two repeated dose toxicity studies are available, a 28-day and a 90-day dietary study in rats at dose levels up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight per day. No treatment related adverse effects were observed in both studies up to the highest dose tested. The NOAEL is consequently > 1000 mg/kg bw. The studies confirm the low bioavailability of the substance as also demonstrated in the toxicokinetic study. Due to the low water and anticipated low lipid solubility it can reasonably assumed that the substance is unlikely to exert adverse effects by other routes of exposure or studies of longer duration. Due to the absence of effects at the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw in both repeated dose and developmental toxicity studies, the derivation of DNEL values for repeated dose toxicity is not warrantend according to the ECHA guidance on information requirements, Part B, version 2.1, 2011.

Conclusions:
The 90-day NOEL was 1% of the diet or approximately 1000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

EBTBP was administered to four groups of Sprague Dawley rats (n=15/sex/group) at 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0% of the diet for 90 days followed by 46 days during which the rats were fed control diet. No changes in hematology or serum chemistry values related to treatment were detected on study days 0, 45, 92. No effect of treatment was found on urinalysis (d 0, 45 and 90). The mean relative and absolute organ weights of the liver, kidney, heart, and thyroids from the control and 1.0% groups were statistically comparable. Several animals died on test from non-test article related causes (most deaths were related to collection of blood for hematology and serum chemistry evaluations).  Gross necropsy from animals dieing on test and sacrificed on days 92, 134, 135 and 136 revealed no test article-related gross lesions. No test article related lesions were detected on histopathology. The 90-day NOEL was 1% of the diet. This is estimated to be ~ 1,000 mg/kg/d using the assumption of consumption of 25 g diet per 250 g rat per day. This study was performed prior to the adoption of Good Laboratory Practices or EPA/OECD guidelines. 

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:
subchronic
Species:
rat
Quality of whole database:
The overall data base with a subacute, a subchronic, two developmental toxicity studies in two species as well as a toxicokinetic study allows the conclusion that the substance has a low hazard potential after repeated exposure.

Additional information

Two repeated dose toxicity studies are available, a 28-day and a 90-day dietary study in rats at dose levels up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight per day. No treatment related adverse effects were observed in both studies up to the highest dose tested. The NOAEL is consequently > 1000 mg/kg bw. The studies confirm the low bioavailability of the substance as also demonstrated in the toxicokinetic study. Due to the low water and anticipated low lipid solubility it can reasonably assumed that the substance is unlikely to exert adverse effects by other routes of exposure or studies of longer duration. The substance is unlikely to have any local irritation effects as no indications of irritation were observed neither in the skin and eye irritation studies nor in the repeated dose studies. Due to the absence of effects at the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw in both repeated dose and developmental toxicity studies, the derivation of DNEL values for repeated dose toxicity is not warrantend according to the ECHA guidance on information requirements, Part B, version 2.1, 2011.


Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
The repeated dose study of longest duration was selected. it is corroborated by the 28-day study as well

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the absence of any adverse effects in the repeated dose studies, no classification for repeated dose toxicity is warranted.
