Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of ST 30 C 00 (aurantiol pure) was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats, according to OECD Guideline 401. Five males and five female rats were administered the undiluted test substance by gavage, at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for mortality, signs of reaction to treatment and behavioural changes at least once daily for 14 days. Bodyweights were recorded on the day of administration and again on Days 7 and 14. All rats were euthanised on Day 14 and gross necropsies were performed. All rats survived and all gained weight during the study. With the exception of one rat that appeared hypoactive 1 hour post-dosing, all animals appeared active and healthy during the study. No abnormalities were detected at necropsy. Under the conditions of the study, the acute oral LD50 of aurantiol pure was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: No data
- Age at study initiation: No data
- Weight at study initiation: 1.9 to 3.3 kg

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: A single application of test material was made to the clipped intact and abraded skin of the backs and flanks of each animal, at a dose of 10 mL/kg bw. The application site of one male and one female from each group was prepared by making epidermal abrasions every 2-3 cm longitudonally over the exposure area. The abrasions penetrated the stratum corneum, but not the dermis.
- Type of wrap if used: The test substance was applied beneath dental dam binders which were placed around the trunk of each animal. The trunk was then covered with a gauze and adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Test sites were sponged with warm tap water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 mL/kg bw
- Concentration (if solution): Applied undiluted

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

10 mL/kg bw (equivalent to approximately 10000 mg/kg bw)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2/sex

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations for signs of toxicity, mortality and dermal irritation were made once daily following removal of the dental dam, for 14 days. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing, and again at 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes (Day 14).
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs, body weight, dermal irritation.

Remarks on result:

other: Based on a dose of 10 mL/kg bw

Mortality:

No mortalities occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs were noted during the study.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were detected at necropsy.

Other findings:

Dermal irritation was observed at the test sites. Well-defined to moderate erythema and very slight to slight oedema were noted 24 hours after test substance removal, at the intact skin sites. The oedema cleared by Day 4 and the erythema cleared by Day 10. Well-defined to moderate erythema and slight oedema were noted at the abraded test sites, persisting until study termination; slight to well-defined erythema and slight oedema were noted at the final observation.

The acute dermal LD50 of the test material was reported to be > 10 mL/kg bw, equivalent to approximately >10000 mg/kg bw.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal LD50 was estimated to be greater than 10 mL/kg bw, equivalent to approximately 10000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of aurantiol pure (RIFM 71 -32) was investigated in a group of two male and two female New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance was applied to the clipped back skin of each rabbit and held in place under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. A dose of 10 mL/kg bw was applied to each rabbit. The test site was abraded on 1 male and 1 female prior to application. The rabbits were observed for signs of toxicity, mortality and dermal irritation daily for 14 days following application. Gross necropsies were performed on all animals at study termination (Day 14). There were no mortalities, and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the study. Well-defined to moderate erythema and slight to moderate oedema was observed in all rabbits. Dermal irritation had cleared by Day 10 in the intact sites, but persisted to Day 14 in the abraded test sites. No abnormalities were detected at necropsy.

Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal LD50 was estimated to be greater than 10 mL/kg bw, equivalent to approximately 10000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information

Oral

An acute oral toxicity test was carried out on groups of young adult rats at dose levels of 2 gms/kg bodyweight. No deaths and no overt signs of toxicity were observed during the fourteen day observation periods. No toxicity was observed in the study at the limit of 2 gms/kg bw. The LD50 was therefore greater than 2 gms/kg bodyweight.

In a separate supporting oral toxicity study testing was carried out on groups of young adult rats at dose levels of 5 ml/kg bodyweight. Again, no deaths and no overt signs of toxicity were observed during the fourteen day observation periods.

Dermal

In the study, 4 animals (two male and two female) were dosed at 10 ml/kg bodyweight and observed for 14 days. No toxicity was seen in the 4 animals during the 14 day observation period.

Symptomatology: Mild erythema on rabbits lasting 24 hours. No toxicity was observed in the study at the limit of 10 ml/kg bw. The LD50 was therefore greater than 10 ml/kg bodyweight.
