Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >5000 mg/kg bw. The study concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity.Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity. 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 3.28E-013 Pa (2.46E-015 mm Hg). Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Executive summary:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -

 

The reported study was mentioned in study report to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).

The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality, until sacrifice.Onset, duration and severity of any sign were recorded. The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behavior pattern. Individual animal body weights were recorded pre-test (prior to administration of the test item), day 7 and at termination on day 14. Necropsy was performed on animals surviving at the end of the study. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).

Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

Hence, LD50 was considered to be >2000mg/kg bw,when male and female Sprague Dawley rats was treated with test chemical by dermal application.

The above study is supported with another study mentioned in database for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rabbits at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application to the skin.

 

All the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in report for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted on Wistar albino rats under OECD guideline-402 Guideline for Testing of Chemicals.

In limit test (2000 mg/kg b.wt), Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test chemical was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pretreatment), 7thand 14th(post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. The test compound applied at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats did not show any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period of 14 days.

Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation (14 days). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study did not show any gross pathological changes.

After 72 hrs, a confirmatory test was conducted in same species of animals to confirm the limit test of test compound (OECD-402 guidelines). Ten healthy Wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test chemical was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pretreatment), 7thand 14th(post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. The test compound did not produce any mortality throughout the observation period of 14 days.

Furthermore, the test compound did not elicit any clinical signs at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt. in entire observation period. All the animals treated with the test compound at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt. showed normal gain in body weight as compared to control group on day 0th (pre treatment). Necropsy was conducted on day 15th (end of study) did not reveal any significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity.

The results obtained from present investigation can be concluded that the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Wistar albino rats were occlusively treated with the given test chemical by dermal application following 14 days of observation period according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity). Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, the test chemical can be classify under non toxic category at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

 

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In an acute oral toxicity study, 10 female SPF Wistar rats strain Hoe: WISKF (SPF 71) weighing 234-244g (average weight 238g) rats were treated with the given test chemical at the dose concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw.

The 25% suspension of test material was dissolved in sesame oil and was administered once via oral gavage route. The rats were not given any food for 16 hours before application. 2 hours after the dye was administered, the animals were fed again. The observation time after administration was 14 days. During this time, the animals were kept Weekly weighed, the animals received as feed the ALTROMIN stabilizer 1324 of the company Altromin GmbH in Lage/Lippe and tap water. Food and water were offered ad libitum.

Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs changes for 14 days. The experimental animals were killed at the end of the follow-up period in anaesthesia, dissected and examined macroscopically.

No animal died on administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight. After the application, the animals showed normal behaviour. The body weight gain at the follow-up was regular. After administration of the dye, a dark blue faeces and blue urine staining were observed.

Under the condition of the study, the LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical orally via gavage.  

 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 3.28E-013 Pa (2.46E-015 mm Hg). Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal Toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -

All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).

Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

Hence, LD50 was considered to be >2000mg/kg bw,when male and female Sprague Dawley rats was treated with test chemical by dermal application.

The above study is supported with another study mentioned in database for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rabbits at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application to the skin.

 

All the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in report for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted on Wistar albino rats under OECD guideline-402 Guideline for Testing of Chemicals.

The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality at different time interval for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pretreatment), 7thand 14th(post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. The test compound applied at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats did not show any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period of 14 days.

Furthermore, no mortality was observed throughout the period of observation (14 days). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study did not show any gross pathological changes.

After 72 hrs, a confirmatory test was conducted in same species of animals to confirm the limit test of test compound (OECD-402 guidelines). Ten healthy Wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) selected for study after acclimatization.

The test compound did not produce any mortality throughout the observation period of 14 days.

Furthermore, the test compound did not elicit any clinical signs at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt. in entire observation period. All the animals treated with the test compound at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt. showed normal gain in body weight as compared to control group on day 0th (pre treatment). Necropsy was conducted on day 15th (end of study) did not reveal any significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity.

The results obtained from present investigation can be concluded that the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Wistar albino rats were occlusively treated with the given test chemical by dermal application following 14 days of observation period according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity). Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, the test chemical can be classify under non toxic category at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

 

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
