- Strain:
- not specified
- Sex:
- male
- Route of administration:
- inhalation: aerosol
- Type of inhalation exposure:
- whole body
- Vehicle:
- clean air
- Details on inhalation exposure:
- The exposure was conducted in a 1000-liter stainless steel and plexiglas chamber under dynamic conditions. The experimental atmosphere was generated by metering the compound with a Precision dual syringe feeder into a positive pressure spray nozzle situated within the chamber. The chamber airflow was maintained by a positive pressure rotary pump located on the exhaust side of the chamber and was monitored by a rotameter. The nominal concentration of test material in the experimental atmosphere was calculated from the ratio of the weight of compound aerosolized to the total chamber airflow (volume of air ejected from the spray nozzle plus the volume of makeup air) per unit time. During exposure, the animals were housed individually in stainless steel exposure baskets, centered in the chamber on a rack. They were observed for signs of irritation, toxicity, or death.
The specific gravity of the test substance was determined to be 0.96 g/mL. The test substance was metered into the chamber and aerosolized at the rate of 9.0 mL/minute (8.64 grams/minute). Airflow through the chamber was maintained at 154 L/min. Thus, the nominal concentration of MRD-69-31 in the chamber atmosphere was calculated to be 56 mg/L air. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- no
- Duration of exposure:
- ca. 6 h
- Concentrations:
- 56 mg/L
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 10
- Control animals:

- Details on study design:
- Six male animals of each species were exposed to filtered room air under experimental conditions to serve as controls. After exposure, the animals were removed from the chamber and group housed according to species. They were observed daily for 14 days for latent toxic effects. Necropsies were performed on all animals. The lungs, trachea, liver, and kidneys were removed, examined for gross pathological signs, and preserved in 10% buffered formalin for possible future histopathological examination.

- Mortality:
- No mortality occured in rats
- Clinical signs:
- other: During exposure altered respiratory patterns consisting of slow and irregular breathing were observed. Restlessness, partial eye closure, and rapid respiration were noted in most of the animals within five minutes after initiation of exposure. After 15 mi
- Body weight:
- No significant effects were noted. Initial average rat body weight of 253 grams increased to 311 grams at termination.
- Gross pathology:
- Necropsy findings showed compound-related effects in the areas of discoloration in lungs and discoloration of the renal medullae.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No test substance related mortality occurred under the study conditions.
- Executive summary:
A group of 10 male rats (strain not specified) were exposed of a 56 mg/L aerosol of the test substance for six hours and subsequently observed for up to 14 days. No test substance-related mortality occured. Gross necropsy findings included some discoloration of the lung and kidney (renal medullae).

- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- Test substance was applied to the closely clipped, abraded abdominal skin of each rabbit beneath a binder of rubber dam. The trunk of each animal was then wrapped in gauze and adhesive tape, and the animals were collared to prevent ingestion of the compound. After an exposure period of 24 hours, the binders and collars were removed, and the abdominal skin was cleansed with corn oil to remove any compound residue.
- Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 50, 200, 794, and 3160 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Four
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Mortality and toxic effects were recorded immediately following application and at one, four, and 24 hours. Following the initial period observations were performed once daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Dermal irritation recorded at 24 hours and once daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Body weights were measured initially and terminally.
- Statistics:
- No details provided in the study report
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD0
- Effect level:
- >= 3 160 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No deaths occurred at any of the dosage levels tested. The acute dermal LD50 was, therefore, assumed to be greater than 3160 mg/kg of body weight.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Depression, soft feces, and/or few feces were noted in two animals at the 3160 mg/kg level.
- Gross pathology:
- Study report indicates "Gross organ alterations were limited to those associated with incidental disease." This is interpreted as no treatment related gross pathology findings.
- Other findings:
- Skin irritation was slight and consisted of erythema (moderate in two animals at 3160 mg/kg) in all animals at 24 hours which persisted for two to six days. Desquamation was observed in one low level animal on Days 5 and 6.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Acute dermal exposure to the test substance at doses up to 3,160 mg/kg did not result in any mortality in a 14-day post-exposure observation period. The results indicate negligible potential for acute dermal toxicity.
- Executive summary:
Groups of four male or female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 50, 200, 794, or 3160 mg/kg on abraded skin using occulsive dressing for 24 hours. Rabbits were observed for 14 days following exposure. No mortality occured. Effects were limited to rabbits exposed to 3160 mg/kg, where two rabbits were reported to show depression, soft feces, and/or few feces, and terminal body weight loss. There was some indication of slight skin irritation in all animals at the 24 hour time point, but completely resolved by the seventh day following exposure. The results indicate negligible potential for acute dermal toxicity.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification and labelling is not indicated for acute toxicity, as no mortality/significant toxicity was apparent at limit dose levels.
