Remarks on result:

other: non toxic in wistar albino rats

The acute oral toxicity study of 85-73-4 was conducted in wistar albino rats. The study was conducted with the compliance of OECD Guideline-423 for testing of chemicals.

The healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization to standard laboratory condition and divided into test compound and vehicle control group each having three animals.

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

All the Wistar albino rats which were treated with the test compound 85-73-4 observed normal without any mortality and clinical signs of toxicity. Furthermore, No clinical signs and mortality were observed in vehicle control group.

Executive summary:

Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test compound CAS No. 85-73-4was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt to each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7^thand 14^th(post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals which was died during the study or were sacrificed at termination of the study.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Mortality:There was no incidence of mortality recorded after administration of test compound 85-73-4 at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt.

Clinical signs:The test compound CAS No. 85-73-4did not elicit any clinical signs of toxicity during the entire observation period. No skin reaction was observed after 24^thhrs. of patch removal.

Body weight:The body weight of each animal recorded on day 0, 7^thand 14^thshowed normal increase in weight was recorded.

Conclusion:Result obtained from present investigation can be concluded that the test compound CAS No. 85-73-4is acutely non toxic at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats when applied by dermal route.The acute dermal LD₅₀of test compound CAS No. 85-73-4found to be more than 2000mg/kg b.wt.

(> 2000 mg/kg b.wt.).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint

Finally, it is concluded that the test compound,following the guideline OECD-423 is non toxic to wistar albino rats. According toGlobally Harmonised Classification System for Chemical Substances,it comes under the Globally Harmonized Classification (GHC) Category-5 (>2000-5000) and LD50cutoff is 5000 mg/kg b.wt.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VIII, this end point was considered for waiver since the vapour pressure of phthalylsulfathiazole is very low ( 0.00000000000000283 Pa at 25 deg C). Hence exposure to humans is unlikely given the very low vapour pressure; thereby justifying the data waiver using the exposure consideration.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint

Result obtained from present investigation can be concluded that the test compound CAS No. 85-73-4is acutely non toxic at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats when applied by dermal route.The acute dermal LD50of test compound CAS No. 85-73-4found to be more than 2000mg/kg b.wt. (> 2000 mg/kg b.wt.).

Justification for classification or non-classification

All the end point study indicate that the substance will not have any toxicity effect in any of the route of exposure that is oral, dermal and inhalation.
