95% CL:

1 160 - 1 930

Remarks on result:

other: Within the 14 days observation period no animals died after single application of 740 mg/kg bw. 1/10, 8/10 and 9/10 animals died using 1110, 1670 and 2500 mg/kg bw respectively. Deaths occurred within 1 to 5 days post application.

Mortality:

740 mg/kg bw: 0 males and 0 females died
1110 mg/kg bw: 1/10 animals died, death occurred within 5 days after administration
1670 mg/kg bw: 8/10 animals died, death occurred within 2 to 5 days after administration
2500 mg/kg bw: 9/10 animals; death occurred 1 to 4 days after administration )
All animals that died were dead within 1 to 5 days after administration

Clinical signs:

other: 740 and 1110 mg/kg bw: Less severe effects on motoric activity as described at the highest dose level. 1670 mg/kg bw: same symptoms as described in the high dose group with cachexia being obvious at treatment days 1 to 5 within the surviving animals. 25

Gross pathology:

740 mg/kg bw: In 7 animals necrosis was obvious 7days after test item administration. In the other animals eschar formation was seen 7 days after dose administration and scarring began on day 14 after start of exposure.
1110 mg/kg bw: In 3 animals necrosis was obvious 2 hours after the patch removal. Eschar formation in the other animals started at day 7 after test item administration. Just before the end of the observation period scarring could be observed.
1670 mg/kg bw: in the surviviing animals (i.e. 2/10) beginning at three days after administration, necrosis was obvious. The edges were indured and persistet up until the end of the observation period.
2500 mg/kg bw: the only surviving animal showed induration of skin which began to recover from day 4 until the end of the observation period

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

harmful

Remarks:

Migrated information Acute toxicity category 4 Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

After single dermal application of either 740, 1110, 1670 or 2500 mg test substance per kg onto the skin of male and female rats lethality could be observed during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 of 1500 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity was investigated using male and female Sprague-Dawley rats in a test similar to acute standard method (i.e. OECD TG 402, non GLP). The test substance was administered to the skin for 24 hours under occlusive conditions at doses of 740, 1110, 1670 and 2500 mg/kg bw to 4 groups of 10 animals (5animals/sex).

Clinical signs (dyspnea, agitation, apathy, atonia (with tremor and convulsions), hypothermia, cachexia) were observed starting from the mid-dose group. Within the 14 days observation period no animals died after single application of 740 mg/kg bw. 1/10, 8/10 and 9/10 animals died using 1110, 1670 and 2500 mg/kg bw respectively. Deaths occurred within 1 to 5 days post application. Having this results a median lethal dose (LD50) of 1500 mg/kg bw was identified for acute dermal toxicity.
