Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and mice for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

Test chemical has very low vapour pressure (4.74 Pa.= 0.0355 mmHg),So the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely and therefore the acute inhalation toxicity end point was considered for waiver.

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The studies concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and mice for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

The reported study was mentioned in authoritative database ,handbook,review article,peer reviewed journal,and secondary report to designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical. In a acute oral toxicity study,rats were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw orally.No mortality observed at 5000 mg/kg. Therefore,LD50 was considered to be >5000 mg/kg,when rats were treated with test chemical orally.

 

Both the above studies are further supported with predicted data by Danish QSAR. Based on the QSAR prediction done using the Danish (Q)SAR Database, the LD50 was estimated to be 4700 mg/kg bw on rat for test chemical having Reliability Index: 0.9 (high prediction quality.) and the LD50 was estimated to be 3100 mg/kg bw on mouse for test chemical having Reliability Index: 0.6 ( moderate prediction quality).

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

Test chemical has very low vapour pressure (4.74 Pa.= 0.0355 mmHg),So the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely and therefore the acute inhalation toxicity end point was considered for waiver.

Acute Dermal toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in rabbits.In acute dermal toxicity study, rabbits were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw by dermal application.No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at dose 5000 mg/kg bw.Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw,when rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.  

The above study is supported with another study conducted on rats for the test chemical.In acute dermal toxicity study, 2 male and female rabbits were treated withtest chemicalin the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw which was applied on intact and abraded sites of skin.No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at dose 5000 mg/kg bw.Slight to moderate erythema that resolved by day eight was seen at intact and abraded sites of all animals. Edema was not observed.No effect on survival of treated rabbits were observed at 5000 mg/kg bw and No gross pathological changes were observed in treated male and female rabbits.Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw,when rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.  

Both the above studies are further supported with the experimental study. Acute Dermal Toxicity Study was conducted using test chemical as per OECD No.402 in 10 male and female healthy young adult Wistar rats which were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. 24 hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0,as such amount of test item, calculated based on density (1.0016) and body weight was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the surgical gauze patch was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating adhesive tape. The porous gauze dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed. The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recordedafter application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were re­corded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. No clinical signs and any skin reaction were observed throughout the experimental period in all treated animals. The male and female animals were observed with body weight gain throughout the experiment, except on day 7 male animals were observed with decline in mean body weight gain as compared to day 0. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality. Hence the LD50 was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated with test chemical by dermal application.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
