Description of key information

In study according to OECD guideline 407 (adopted 1981) and under GLP conditions repeated oral dosing by gavage to rats (32 days treatment) at doses of 30, 150, and 750 mg/kg bw/day led to a NOAEL of 150 mg/kg bw, based on mortality and histopathological effects on the lung.

Additional information

Repeated dose toxicity, oral

A study according to OECD guideline 407 (adopted 1981) was performed under GLP conditions with repeated oral dosing by gavage to rats (32 days treatment; 5 animals/sex/dose) at doses of 30, 150, and 750 mg/kg bw/day. At the highest exposure level, an increase in mortality in both sexes and, in males only, changes in blood parameters indicative of a stimulation in erythropoiesis were found (increases in red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit together with a decrease in mean corpuscular volume and mean cell volume) together with increases in various organ weights, in particular of lungs and adrenals. Body weight gain, food and water consumption were markedly reduced when compared to the controls. Histopathological examination of high dose animals revealed effects in the lung, such as inflammatory changes, fibrosis and hyperplasia of bronchial epithelium. The study did not include the histopathological examination of spinal cord, stomach, small and large intestines, thymus, thyroid, trachea, gonads, accessory sex organs, urinary bladder, lymph nodes, peripheral nerve, bone marrow. A NOAEL of 150 mg/kg bw/day was established based on mortality and histopathological effects on the lung (Bayer AG, 1992).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)

- No classification required for repeated dose toxicity

  

Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008:

- No classification required for specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure through oral route.
