Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment

Conclusions:

DNNSA is practically non-toxic with an oral LD50 > 2500 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study (limit test) was conducted with Synex 1052, a 50% formulation of DNNSA (DI C8-C10, BRANCHED, C9 RICH, ALKYLNAPHTHALENE SULFONIC ACID). 5 male and 5 female rats weighing 200-239 grams were fasted for 18 hours and then individually and singly dosed by gavage. The animals were observed for mortality and other signs of gross toxicity for 14days. Food and water were provided ad-libitum. 1 female died on day 8 post-dosing.

No males died. No clinical symptoms of poisoning occurred. The Synex 1052 formulation is practically non-toxic with an oral LD50 > 5000 mg/kg. The DNNSA component is also practically non-toxic with an LD50 > 2,500 mg/kg.
