Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Rats were administered a single dose of test material via stomach intubation and were observed for 14 days to determine the toxicity of the test substance when administered orally.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Test type:

standard acute method

no

Test material

Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

Trimethylolpropane Monoallyl Ether

IUPAC Name:

Trimethylolpropane Monoallyl Ether

Details on test material:

Trimethylolpropane Monoallyl Ether was a viscous, clear, colourless liquid.

Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

other: Albino

Sex:

male

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Five male albino rats weer used. The rats were non-fasted.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: mazola

Details on oral exposure:

The chemical was diluted with mazola and the concentration of the aliquots to be used for dosing the various concentration levels was adjusted so that no less than on milliliter or more than 10 milliliters was given to each animal.

Doses:

The rats were administered at four consecutive dosage levels differing by a factor of 2, specifically: 2, 3.98, 7.95 and 15.8 g/kg.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male rats per dose.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Doses were administered by stomach intubation to groups of five male albino rats who were non-fasted. Each rat received between 1 and 10 ml of test material. The rats were observed for 14 days at which time mortality due to chemcial exposure was considered complete. All fatalities were subjected to autopsies to include extraneous causes of death. Survivors were sacrificed and examined for the existence of gross lesions.

Statistics:

he single oral dose LD50 based on mortality during the 14-day observation period was estimated by Thompson's method of moving averages employin tables of Weil.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Not applicable.

Effect levels

Sex:

male

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

4.93 other: g/kg

Based on:

test mat.

95% CL:

3.73 - 5.16

Mortality:

1 rat died 1 day after dosing at the 3.98 g/kg dose level.
All 5 rats died at the 7.95 g/kg dose level, with 4 rats dead 4 hours after dosing and 1 rat dead 1 day after dosing.
All 5 rats died less than 1 hour after dosing at the 15.8 g/kg dose level.

Clinical signs:

other: At the higher concentrations tested, trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether resulted in a slight narcotic effect on rats.

Gross pathology:

The survivors of the 14-day observation period showed no gross lesions upon examinaiton following sacrifice.

Other findings:

The growth of the surviving rats was normal and they were in good condition.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sligthly toxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 of trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether was determined to be 4.93 g/kg, when tested on male rats.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether was determined in male albino rats. Groups of five male albino rats were administered a single dose of Trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether at dose levels of 2, 3.98, 7.95 and 15.8 g/kg via stomach intubation. The rats were observed for 14 days and an oral LD₅₀ based on mortality was determined to be 4.93 g/kg. 1 mortality was observed in the 3.98 g/kg dose group the day after dosing. In the 7.95 and 15.8 g/kg dose groups, all 5 rats in each group died within 1 day of dosing. All surviving rats had an increase in body weight followig the 14 day observation period.
