Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 2280 mg//kg bw when rats were treated with 2-Acetylpyridine orally.
Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity study, rats were treated with 2-Acetylpyridine in the concentration of 2280 mg/kg bw orally. 50 % mortality was observed in treated rats. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 2280 mg//kg bw when rats were treated with 2-Acetylpyridine orally.
