Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity: Key study. Test method according to OECD 423, GLP study. The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat. The LD50 cut-off may be considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.
Acute oral toxicity: supporting study. Read across aproach. Based on the read-across approach from the analogue d-fenchone, the LD50 of l-fenchone is 6160 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Available information suggests that mortality is unlikely at the highest starting dose level (2000 mg/kg body weight). Hence, the study is initiated with the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. - Doses:

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: At each step, the animals were observed five times on test day 1 (day of administration) i.e. at 30 minutes and four times at hourly intervals and once daily during days 2 to 15 post administration. The body weights were recorded on test day 1 (pre-administration), day 8 (7 days post administration) and day 15 (14 days post administration).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. At termination, gross pathological findings were recorded and reported.
- Other examinations performed:
Observations included changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Attention was directed to the
observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma and all observed clinical signs were recorded. - Key result

- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test item has been tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 423, following GLP. 6 female Wistar rats divided in 2 groups were administered sequentially with test item by oral gavage. The first set of 3 female rats was given a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. No mortality was observed at this dose level, so the second set of 3 female rats was treated at the same dose level. No mortality was observed at this dose level either. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal during the study. No clinical signs were observed. The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related effects. The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat. As per OECD Test Guideline 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity: Key study. The acute oral toxicity of the test item has been tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 423, following GLP. 6 female Wistar rats divided in 2 groups were administered sequentially with test item by oral gavage.The first set of 3 female rats was given a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. No mortality was observed at this dose level, so the second set of 3 female rats was treated at the same dose level. No mortality was observed at this dose level either. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal during the study.No clinical signs were observed. The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related effects. The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat. As per OECD Test Guideline 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.
Acute oral toxicity: supporting study. Read across aproach. The acute oral toxicity of the test compound was tested following a method similar to OECD Test Guideline 423. Tenyoung adult Osborne-Mendel rats evenly divided by sexwere administered by oral gavage. Animals were observed for 2 weeks during which time the development of toxic signs was followed and time of death recorded. During first week after treatment, depression, scrawny appearance and porphyrin-like deposit around eyes and nose were observed. The acute oral LD50 of the test item was determined to be 6160 mg/kg bw (95% confidence limits: 4400 -8630 mg/kg bw). Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the LD50 of l-fenchone was determined to be 6160 mg/kg bw (95% confidence limits: 4400-8630 mg/kg bw).
