- Executive summary:
Acute Oral Toxicity of Ceranin PNA fest was evaluated based on a in-house study similar to OECD 401 TG.
Ceranin PNA fest was prepared as a 40 % suspension in aqueous gum tragacanth (0.5 %) and administered by oral intubation at a dosage volume of 12.5 ml/ kg body weight to 10 rats (5 male and 5 female) of the CFY strain in the weight range of 100 to 112 g were treated with Ceranin PNA fest at a dosage level of 5 g/kg bodyweight.
During the observation period of 14 days, a record was kept of all mortalities and signs of toxicity. All rats that died were examined macroscopically in an attempt to identify organs, and those animals surviving terminally were similarly examined to detect possible residual damage.
Signs of reaction to treatment observed shortly after dosing consisted of lethargy and piloerection. Death occurred in two male rats within five to six days of treatment. Autopsy did not reveal any specific cause of death. Recovery of survivors, as judged by external appearance and behaviour, was apparently complete within seven days of treatment. This observation was substantiated by normal bodyweight gains, compared with controls and normal autopsy findings.
The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of Ceranin PNA fest was found to be >5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: inhalation
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Acute toxicity: via dermal route
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: dermal
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the physicochemical and toxicological properties suggest no potential for a significant rate of absorption through the skin

- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
A study was performed according to OECD TG 420 for acute oral toxicity by fixed dose method. Four female Wistar rats were treated by oral gavage with test substance FAT 93580 to determine median lethal concentration (LD50).
At the highest test dose of 2000 mg/kg bw all animals survived until the end of the study period and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the observation period. All animals showed expected gains in body weight over the observation period and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Another, single acute oral,14-day supporting study was performed with a high dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. Death occurred in two male rats within five to six days of treatment. Autopsy did not reveal any specific cause of death. Recovery of survivors, as judged by external appearance and behaviour, was apparently complete within seven days of treatment. This observation was substantiated by normal bodyweight gains, compared with controls and normal autopsy findings.
Based on the LD50 value and exposure related observations from both the studies the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item can be concluded to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Justification for selection of
acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 420 and in
accordance with GLP
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Waiver: Not necessary, based on the physical form, no exposure
through inhalation expected
Currently
no study to assess the acute inhalation toxicity potential of FAT
93580/A TE is available. However, the vapour pressure of test item at 25
°C, using the vapour pressure balance method was determined to be 2.6
mPa. Hence, the substance is considered to have low volatility.
Synthesis and spray drying of this chemical is performed in a closed
process; the final product consists of non-dusty granules. Hence, the
use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets
of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalation route
will be unlikely to occur. Further results of exposure to test animals
from the acute toxicity studies via oral route with FAT 93580/A TE
indicated low toxicity potential and no classification was needed for
acute toxicity or STOT SE. Taking into consideration the above
arguments, no elevated toxicity other than already seen in acute oral
toxicity studies is expected via the inhalation route and safety for
human health can be estimated using the principles of route to route
extrapolation. Hence, the conduct of acute toxicity study via inhalation
route for FAT 93580/A TE is considered to be scientifically not
necessary.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Waiver: Not necessary, as no findings in the rabbit irritation study
and the acute oral study. Because of animal welfare reasons the study is
not necessary.
Currently no study to assess toxicity of FAT 93580/A TE on acute dermal exposure is available. However, the molecular weight of the substance is 367.3 - 645.6 g/mol, which indicates the substance being fairly large for dermal absorption. Further, water solubility of the test item at a temperature of 20 °C was determined to be < 0.1 mg/l which indicates the substance being highly hydrophobic. Hence, the dermal uptake for the substance is expected to be low. Further results of exposure to test animals from the acute toxicity studies via oral route indicated low toxicity potential and no classification was needed for acute toxicity or STOT SE. Taking into consideration the above arguments, no elevated toxicity other than already seen in acute oral toxicity studies is expected via the dermal route and safety for human health can be estimated using the principles of route to route extrapolation. Similarly, absence of systemic toxicity or mortality in skin irritation as well as sensitization studies with FAT 93580/A TE, further supports the conclusion that no additional adverse effects other than seen in acute oral toxicity studies are expected via dermal route. Hence, the conduct of acute toxicity study via dermal route for FAT 93580/A TE is considered to be scientifically not necessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the LD50 value and exposure related observations from both the studies the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item can be concluded to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight which can be classified as non-hazardous.
