Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 fasted rats (five males and five females) were given a single oral dose of the test substance as a 20 % suspension in deionized water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. The animals were observed for 14 d after the day of dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. One hour up to 5 d after administration of test substance discolored orange feces and diarrhea were noted. No deaths occurred within the observation period. Development of body weight was not impaired. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute dermal toxicity of test substance in Sprague-Dawley CD rats according EU Method B.3. and OECD guideline 402 in compliance with GLP.

Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 rats (five males and five females) were applied 0.5 g of test substance moistened with 0.5 mL deionised water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. Following the 24 h exposure period, animals were observed for mortality, skin response and general behavior for 14 d and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination.

No mortality was observed in the study. All animals appeared normal throughout the 24 h exposure period and the 14 d post-exposure observation period. The skin of the animals was discolored orange in a large area from removal of the test substance until the end of the study without any signs of irritation.

The overall body weight gain was not impaired in both sexes. Two female animals showed a transient slight body weight loss in the first study week. The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.

Under the test conditions, the acute dermal LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg in Sprague-Dawley SD rats.

Additional information

Oral

A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of test substance in Sprague-Dawley CD rats according OECD guideline 401 and EU Method B.1.

Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 fasted rats (five males and five females) were given a single oral dose of the test substance as a 20 % suspension in deionized water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. The animals were observed for 14 d after the day of dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. One hour up to 5 d after administration of test substance discolored orange feces and diarrhea were noted. No deaths occurred within the observation period. Development of body weight was not impaired. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute oral LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg in Sprague-Dawley SD rats (Dr. Seeberger A, 1999).

Dermal

A study was conducted to assess the acute dermal toxicity of test substance in Sprague-Dawley CD rats according OECD guideline 402 and EU Method B.3.

Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 rats (five males and five females) were applied 0.5 g of test substance moistened with 0.5 mL deionised water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. Following the 24 h exposure period, animals were observed for mortality, skin response and general behavior for 14 d and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. No mortality was observed in the study. All animals appeared normal throughout the 24 h exposure period and the 14 d post-exposure observation period.

The overall body weight gain was not impaired in both sexes. Two female animals showed a transient slight body weight loss in the first study week. The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes. The acute dermal LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg in Sprague-Dawley SD rats (Dr. Seeberger A, 1999).

The available data for test substance indicates a low potential for acute oral (LD50 >2,000 mg/kg bw) and dermal toxicity (LD50 >2,000 mg/kg bw) and does not meet the requirement for classification according to EC criteria (67/548/EEC) and according to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
