Description of key information

In an acute oral toxicity study, the LD50 of N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine was 1669 (1249-2086) mg/kg for male and female rats. The most notable clinical abnormalities observed included a decrease in spontaneous activity, dyspnea, coma and body weight loss. Reddish or black colouration of the digestive tract, spleen and/or liver was observed in the animals found dead.

Conclusions:
The LD50 of DIMETHYLDIPROPYLENETRIAMINE administered by oral route in rats was
- males, 1907 (467 - 2273) mg/kg with 90% confidence interval limits,
- females, 1545 (690 - 2379) mg/kg with 95% confidence interval limits,
- combined, 1669 (1249 - 2086) mg/kg with 95% confidence interval limits.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Dimethyldipropylenetriamine was evaluated in rats according to OECD N°401 guideline. The test item was administered by oral route (gavage at 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg) to groups of 10 Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males and 5 females). Animals were observed for 14 days.

100% mortality was observed for the high dose group on day 1 ; after administration animals showed sedation, lateral recumbency, piloerection and coma. These clinical signs were less severe in 2000 mg/kg group, althought 60% mortality was observed on day 5. The low dose group showed hypokinesia after treatment but only 10% mortality was observed. Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of the test item is 1669 (1249 - 2086) mg/kg with 95% confidence interval limits.

Additional information

Oral route

The acute oral toxicity of N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine was evaluated in rats according to OECD N°401 guideline (Clouzeau, 1991). The test item was administered by oral route (gavage at 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg) to groups of 10 Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males and 5 females). Animals were observed for 14 days. 100% mortality was observed for the high dose group on day 1; after administration animals showed sedation, lateral recumbency, piloerection and coma. These clinical signs were less severe in 2000 mg/kg group, althought 60% mortality was observed on day 5. The low dose group showed hypokinesia after treatment but only 10% mortality was observed. Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine is 1669 (1249 - 2086) mg/kg with 95% confidence interval limits.

In a study conducted according to a method which in principle is comparable to the OECD Guideline 401 (BASF, 1991), a test group consisting of 5 animals/sex was treated by single gavage application with an aqueous solution of N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine. The animals were observed for mortality and for clinical symptoms of toxicity. At the end of the observation period of 14 days, the surviving animals were sacrificed for the purpose of necropsy; animals that died during the observations period also were subjected to necropsy. At 2000 mg/kg, all animals died within 24 h, 1 female died within 48 h at 681 mg/kg, and 1 female died within 14 days at 200 mg/kg. The acute LD50 is >681 and <2000 mg/kg bw under the conditions of this study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral toxicity:

The oral LD50of N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine was 1669 mg/kg in rats. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine shall be classified as Acute Tox. 4 (Hazard statement: H302; Harmful if swallowed) and in accordance with Annex VI of Commission Directive 2001/59/EC, N'-(3-aminopropyl) -N, N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine shall be classified as being harmful if swallowed (R22).
