practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Conclusions:

Based on the study results, sodium methyl oleyl taurate is practically non-toxic after dermal application to rats.

Executive summary:

Sodium methyl oleyl taurate was tested for acute dermal toxicity in male and female rats according to OECD TG 402 following the principles of GLP. After administration of a single dermal dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight, no specific test item related findings were observed during the subsequent 14 day observation period with regard to clinical signs of intoxication. Body weight gain was not significantly effecte througout the study period. At necropsy, no specific compound-associated pathology was found, except some residual discoloration of the skin at the application site. Based on the study results, the acute dermal toxicity (LD 50) of sodium methyl oleyl taurate in the rat was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
