Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
approximate LD50
Effect level:
ca. 4 900 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All but one of the animals given 5000 mg/kg bw and more died; late deaths were observed. See table 7.2.1/1.
Clinical signs:
other: Lethal doses caused seizures. Sublethal doses led to stiff gait, apathy, reduced appetite, diarrhoea, and rough coat.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy, signs of gastro-intestinal tract irritation and intestinal bleeding were found.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test item is not classified for acute oral toxicity in rats as LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (BASF, 1956), groups of 1 to 5 rats were given a single dose of Hexamethylenediamine adipate, dry (purity not given) at doses of 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000, 8000, and 100000 mg/kg bw and were observed for 8 days. Necropsy was performed at the end of the study.

All but one of the animals given 5000 mg/kg bw and more died; late deaths were observed. Lethal doses caused seizures. Sub-lethal doses led to stiff gait, apathy, reduced appetite, diarrhea, and rough coat. At necropsy, signs of gastro-intestinal tract irritation and intestinal bleeding were found.

Based on this study,the oral LD50 in rats was approximately 4900 mg/kg bw.

 

Under the test conditions, the test substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/EEC criteria, as for sebacic acid, compound with hexane-1,6 -diamine (1:1), considering the read-accross approach.
