Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of 4,4'-Diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-dicyclohexylmethane after oral administration was found to be greater than 300 mg/kg bw and less than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to the Acute Toxic Class method, doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg bw of the test item 4,4'-Diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyldicyclohexylmethane (undiluted or preparations in olive oil Ph./Eu.) were administered to three test groups of three fasted Wistar rats each (2000 mg/kg bw in 3 females, 300 mg/kg bw in 6 females) by gavage in a sequential manner.

Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of 4,4'-Diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-dicyclohexylmethane after oral administration was found to be greater than 300 mg/kg bw and less than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
