Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: i.e., equivalent to >4250 mg a.i./kg bw
Mortality:
No compound-related deaths occurred.
One male was found dead early in the morning of Day 8. This case of death was considered to be a result of an application injury. This male rat showed a marked respiratory distress and a marked loss of weight. The histopathological examination of the lung of this animal revealed aspiration pneumonia.
Clinical signs:
other: The main symptom was respiratory distress seen in 3 males and 1 female. This symptom developed in consequence of aspiration of a little test suspension. The other findings were of no toxicological significance.
Gross pathology:
In the urinary bladder of male rat 2694, gritty contents were observed. This finding was of a spontaneous nature. No other macroscopic organ changes were seen.
Other findings:
Histopathology: Bronchopneumonia caused the respiratory distress and itself was caused by aspiration of test suspension (by the male rat that died at Day 8).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified based on EU CLP Criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the LD50 for the test substance was determined to be >4250 mg a.i./kg bw.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, mono- and di- C16 PSE, K+ (purity: ca. 85%), according to the OECD Guideline 401, standard acute method, in compliance with GLP. Five male and 5 female Fü-albino SPF rats were randomly selected for an acute oral toxicity study. Fasted rats were given a single dose of the test substance suspended in SSV (Standard Suspended Vehicle) by gavage at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. They were observed for 15 d for toxic signs, mortality and body weight changes. All rats were examined for gross lesions. No compound-related deaths occurred. No compound-related incompatibility reactions were observed. No compound-related effect on body weight development appeared. No compound-related gross or microscopic lesions were observed. Under the study conditions, the LD50 for the test substance was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw (i.e., equivalent to >4250 mg a.i./kg bw) (XXXX, 1987).
