Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Rats showed significant changes in the central nervous system, blood and liver in the correlation of muscle antagonist chronaxy, a reduced number of erythrocytes and hemaglobin, increased methemoglobin level, reticulocytis, leukopenia, hypoproteinemia, a reduced-SH group content in the serum, and accumulation of pyruvic acid in the liver and serum. Dimethylaniline also increased the coproporphyrin urinary excretion and reduced the adrenal ascorbic acid level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The Lowest observed adverse effect concentration (LOAEC) of N,N-dimethylaniline was found to be 0.3 mg/m³ rats in a 100 day study.
Inhalation of the substance continuously led to anaemia, methaemoglobinaemia, leucopenia and significant pathological changes in the central nervous system.
Executive summary:

Repeated dose inhalation toxicit study was performed using rats for the test compound N, N- dimethylaniline (RA CAS no 121 -69 -7). The Lowest observed adverse effect concentration (LOAEC) of N,N-dimethylaniline was found to be 0.3 mg/m³ rats in a 100 day study. Inhalation of the substance continuously led to anaemia, methaemoglobinaemia, leucopenia and significant pathological changes in the central nervous system.
