Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The acute Dermal LD50 value was considered to be 1420 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limit of 1224-1647 mg/kg bw, when white rats were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
- Executive summary:
Acute Dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in white rats at the concentration range of 1224-1647 mg/kg bw. The given test chemical was applied as aqueous solutions to the shaved skin of the stomach of white rats 4 cm2 in area with a 4-day exposure. Animals were observed for clinical signs. Calculation of the mean lethal dose (LD50) was carried out by the probit analysis method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon. 50% mortality was observed at 1420 mg/kg bw. Behavioural changes were observed such as, somnolence (general depressed activity) and haemorrhage was observed. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1420 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limit of 1224-1647 mg/kg bw, when white rats were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
