Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 3330 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated with 4-Methoxyphenylacetone (122-84-9) orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in rats using test material 4-Methoxyphenylacetone (122-84-9).50% Mortality was observed at dose 3330 mg/kg bw.Clinical signs like tremor, changes in motor activity(Specific assay) and altered sleep time (including change in righting reflex) were observed.Hence,LD50 value was considered to be 3330 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated with 4-Methoxyphenylacetone (122-84-9) orally.
