Remarks:
To minimise the number of animals used, Group 2 animals were administered at 2000 mg/kg instead of 300 mg/kg. There were no adverse signs so a third group of rats were treated at the same dose level (2000 mg/kg) to complete the study.

Under the conditions of the study, the median lethal dose level (LD50) of EXP0700332 in Sprague-Dawley rats was considered to exceed 2000 mg/kg.
This study is considered to be relevant, reliable and adequate for risk assessment and for classification purposes.
Executive summary:

The objective of this OECD 423 study was to assess the adverse effects of EXP0700332 after a single oral gavage administration to Sprague-Dawley rats. The test item was administered to three groups of rats, comprising of three females, with one group being tested at 300 mg/kg and the two remaining groups being tested at 2000 mg/kg. The dose volume was based on the density and purity of the test item, and the individual doses were based on the individual body weight of the animals on the day of dosing. The animals were observed daily for 14 days after dosing and their body weights recorded before dosing and on Days 8 and 15. The following parameters and endpoints were evaluated in this study: clinical signs, body weights, body weight changes and gross necropsy findings.

All animals survived the treatment with no adverse clinical signs or macroscopic findings recorded for any animal. Body weight gains were considered to be acceptable for rats of this age and strain. The median lethal dose level (LD50) of EXP0700332 in Sprague-Dawely rats was considered to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg.

Mortality:
There were no unscheduled deaths.
Clinical signs:
other: There were no signs of reaction to treatment during any of the observation timepoints.
Gross pathology:
One female (No. 7) was found to have dark foci to all lobes of the lungs. As this observation is common in this strain of rat, it is not considered to be related to the test item.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
As all animals survived and the median lethal dose (LD50) is greater than 2000 mg/kg, this study is considered to be relevant, reliable and adequate for risk assessment and for classification purposes.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adverse effects of EXP0700332 following dermal exposure for 24 hours. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were housed in groups up to five animals of the same sex, then separated into single housing and clipped before dosing. The dose of the test item was calculated on the day of dosing. 2000 mg/kg of test item was applied topically to each animal on the clipped dorsal area and spread as evenly as possible. The dosed area was then covered with a gauze patch which was secured with semi-occlusive tape and non-irritating occlusive tape, wrapped around the trunk. The females were dosed 5 days after the males. After 24 hours, the patches and tape were removed and the dosing sites were delinated and cleaned with mineral oil. The animals were observed for 14 days thereafter for signs of reaction. The body weight of the rats were recorded weekly and all animals were subjected to necropsy examinations on Day 15. There were no clinical signs of reaction to treatment, no unscheduled deaths, no abnormal findings in the necropsy and the body weights of all animals were considered acceptable for rats of this strain and age.

Additional information

Acute Oral

A key study conducted in accordance with the OECD 423 guideline and GLP reported that there were no deaths following oral administration of the test substance among rats dosed at 300 and 2000 mg/kg. No adverse clinical signs or macroscopic abnormalities were recorded in any animal and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. The acute median lethal oral dose was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg, therefore the test material was considered to have no significant acute toxic risk if swallowed.

Acute Dermal

A limit test study was conducted in accordance with the OECD 402 guideline and GLP. The study reported that there were no deaths following dermal administration of the test substance among rats dosed at 2000 mg/kg. No adverse clinical signs, macroscopic abnormalities and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. The acute median lethal dermal dose was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg, therefore the test material was considered to have no significant acute toxic risk.

Acute Inhalation

In accordance with Rule 8.5 of Annex VIII of the REACH Regulation, a study of the acute inhalation toxicity is not required, since studies of acute toxicity via oral exposure and via dermal exposure have been provided. Furthermore, the potential for inhalation exposure to occur is considered negligible.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute Oral:

As the LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg/ bw and no clinical signs were observed, no classification for acute oral toxicity is required.

Acute Dermal:

The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw and no clinical signs were observed, therefore no classification for acute dermal toxicity is required.

Acute Inhalation:

No acute inhalation toxicity data are available. Based on the low toxicity via both the oral and dermal routes of exposure, no classification for acute inhalation toxicity is proposed.
