1-(1,1-dimethylpropylperoxy)-1-methoxycyclohexane

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The acute oral and dermal LD0 of 1,1-dimethylpropyl 1-methoxycyclohexyl peroxide are higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Oral route

The potential for oral toxicity of 1,1-dimethylpropyl 1-methoxycyclohexyl peroxide (Luperox XPS-TP) was evaluated using the Acute Toxic Class Determination following the OECD Guidelines no. 423 (Cerven, 2005a). Three healthy male and three healthy female Wistar albino rats were dosed orally with Luperox XPS-TP at 2000 mg/kg. The rats were observed 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours postdose and once daily for 14 days for mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects. Body weights were recorded immediately pretest, weekly and at termination. All animals were examined for gross pathology. Abnormal tissues were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin for possible future histological examination. All three male and three female animais survived the 2000 mg/kg oral dose. Instances of localized alopecia were the only abnormal physical signs noted during the observation period. Body weight changes were normal 5/6 animals. One female lost a slight amount of body weight between day 7 and day 14. Necropsy results revealed localized alopecia in two animals and darker than normal kidneys in 5/6 animals. One animal appeared normal during necropsy. The LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg.

Dermal route

The potential for toxicity of 1,1-dimethylpropyl 1-methoxycyclohexyl peroxide (Luperox XPS-TP) when applied dermally was evaluated following the OECD Guideline no. 402 (Gilotti, 2005b). Five healthy male and five healthy female Wistar Albino rats were dosed dermally with Luperox XPS-TP at 2000 mg/kg of body weight. The test article was kept in contact with the skin for 24 hours. Dermal responses were recorded at 24 hours postdose and on days 7 and 14. Animals were observed for toxicity and pharmacological effects at 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose and once daily for 14 days. All animals were observed twice a day for mortality. Body weights were recorded pretest, weekly and at termination. All animals were examined for gross pathology. Abnormal tissues were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin for possible future histological examination. All ten animals survived the 2000 mg/kg dermal application. Instances of chromorhinorrhea were noted during exposure and instances of alopecia on the front limbs were noted during the study. Dermal effects were absent during the study. Body weight changes were normal in 8/10 animals. One female lost weight during the first week, but gained normally during the second week. Another female lost weight during the second week. Necropsy results revealed abnormalities of the kidneys in 7/10 animals and alopecia was noted in 2 females. The dermal LD0 is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.
