Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of potassium hexachloroplatinate was determined to be 195 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of potassium hexachloroplatinate was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats, in an OECD Test Guideline 401 study, conducted according to GLP. Animals (5/sex/group) were administered the test substance (as a suspension in 1% carboxymethylcellulose) by oral gavage at doses of 100, 215 or 464 mg/kg bw, and observed for up to 14 days.

 

All animals died at the top dose, while 4 males and 3 females died at 215 mg/kg bw. Deaths occurred 1 to 5 days after administration. No mortality was observed in the low dose groups. Toxic effects included hypokinesia, stilted, staggered and restrained gait, tremor, diarrhoea, and sunken sides. Additionally, clonic and tonic convulsions and piloerection were detected. Individual animals showed loss of muscle tone and righting, pain and corneal reflexes, red crusted nose, or prolapse of penis. Microscopic examination of the kidneys revealed severe to very severe acute necrosis and degeneration of the proximal tubules at the highest two doses. The acute oral LD50 was determined (using probit analysis) to be 184 mg/kg bw in male rats (95% CI 85.1-357 mg/kg bw), 212 mg/kg bw in females (95% CI 105-423 mg/kg bw) and 195 mg/kg bw for both sexes combined (95% CI 142 -268 mg/kg bw).

 

Based on the results of this study, the test material should be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 3) according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
