Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral LD50 of Toluene-2, 5-diamine in 0.05% aqueous sodium sulphite vehicle was determined to be 102 mg/kg bw (95% CI= 69-150 mg/kg bw).
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of Toluene-2, 5-diamine was determined following OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
The study was designed to determine acute oral LD50 of Toluene-2, 5-diamine in 0.05% aqueous sodium sulphite vehicle when dosed to group of rats by oral gavage.
The study involved 5 groups of 10 rats each (5 males / 5 females) weighing 98 to 120 g, starved overnight before treatment with group specific concentration (0, 64, 100, 160 and 250 mg/kg bw) of Toluene-2, 5-diamine.
The selection of various concentrations was based on results from preliminary (range finding) study which indicated that median lethal oral dose (LD50) was in range of 64 to 250 mg/kg bw.
Post treatment, rats were observed for 14 days to record mortality and signs of toxicity. All rats that died during observation period were examined macroscopically to identify the target organ and those surviving were sacrificed terminally to detect possible residual damage.
Signs of toxicity were observed shortly after treatment and included lethargy, piloerection, ataxia and increased salivation. These signs were accompanied by increased respiratory rate in rats treated at 100mg/kg and decreased respiratory rate in rats treated above 100 mg/kg bw. Mortality was observed within 1 h to 22 h of treatment. Autopsy revealed slight heamorrhage of the lungs, pallor of the spleen, darkening of the liver and injection of peritoneal blood vessels. However, terminal autopsy findings of surviving animals were normal.
The recovery of surviving animals was apparently complete within 5 d of treatment as exhibited by external appearance and behavior. A slight depression in body weight gain during first week was observed in female rats treated with 64 and 100 mg/kg bw and all surviving male rats. However, bodyweight gain returned to normal during second week.
The acute median oral LD50 of Toluene-2, 5-diamine in 0.05% aqueous sodium sulphite vehicle was found to be 102 mg/kg bw (95% CI= 69-150 mg/kg bw).
