Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Noakes and Sanderson (1969)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Three males died at the 4.0 ml/kg dose level. This rats who died were noted to not eat or drink during the observation period, thus losing a considerable amount of body weight. No other deaths were reported. The acute percutaneous LD50 of Internal Olefin 114 LP11 in rats was greater than 4 ml/kg in females and between w and 4 ml/kg in males.
Executive summary:

In an acute percutaneous toxicity study, groups of young Wistar rats, 4 male and 4 female, were dermally exposed to undiluted Internal Olefin 114 LP11 for 24 hours at doses of 1, 2, and 4 mL/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 9 days.

Three males died at the 4.0 mL/kg dose level. This rats who died were noted to not eat or drink thus losing a considerable amount of body weight. No other deaths were reported. The acute percutaneous LD50 of Internal Olefin 114 LP11 in rats was greater than 4 mL/kg (i.e., 3040 mg/kg) in females and between 2 and 4 mL/kg (i.e., 1520 to 3040 mg/kg) in males.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restriction because although it is an acceptable and well documented study report a GLP statement was not provided and details regarding the test material and animal husbandry was not provided.This study will influence the DNEL(s).
