Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 was determined to be > 5,000 mg/kg bw in males and females.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, 7-week old, Albino Sprague-Dawley rats 5 males and 5 females were given a single oral dose of undiluted hydrodesulfurised middle distillate at doses of 6.10 mL/kg (>5,000 mg/kg bw) and observed for 14 days. 

 

There was no mortality or abnormal changes in body weight. Treatment related clinical signs included hypoactivity, urine stained abdomen, and oily looking hair. Necropsy findings on the animals revealed two mildly enlarged cervical lymph nodes, a distended stomach, renal pelvis moderately dilated, and alopecia on the stomach area. The oral LD50 was determined to be > 5,000 mg/kg bw in males and females.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restrictions because it is an acceptable and a well-documented study report.
