Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1978
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: 2c: comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions. The report is succinct and no record of eventual loss of weight is studied but the study is similar to OECD guideline requirements (401) but not performed according to GLP procedure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
Under the tested conditions, 11 aminoundecanoic acid is not toxic to rats. Therefore the substance is not classified according to EU and GHS recommendations.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males and 2x 5 females) were given a single oral dose of omega amino-undecanoic acid at 15000 mg/kg bw and were observed for 14 days. Only one death occured in the first groups of females tested six days after administration. This death has not been linked to the treatment administered, especially since the other rats were not affected by any important behavioural anomaly throughout the fourteen days of observation of the test. A further group of 5 females was subjected to the same dose. No death occured nor behavioural anomaly. LD0 = 15000 mg /kg bw in rats in combined sex.

Under the conditions of this test, 11 aminoundecanoic acid is therefore not classified according to EU and GHS classifications.

This acute oral study is classified as reliable with restriction considering that the report is succinct and no record of eventual loss of weight is studied but it is similar to OECD guideline requirements (OECD 401) even if not performed according to GLP procedure.
