Key result

Sex:

not specified

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

One of the rabbits died on observation day 7 and one on observation day 13. No further mortalities occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: One rabbit which died on day 7 appeared emaciated, lethargic and ptotic and had discharge from nose and eyes on the day prior to death.

Gross pathology:

Necropsy signs of the rabbit which died on day 7 included dried faecal material in the anogenital region, nose and mouth exudate, small spleen, mottled kidneys and red portions of large intestine. The other one showed also mottled kidneys and, in addition, blotchy liver and yellowish nodules on liver.

Other findings:

Skin irritation:
- Redness: slight in 5, moderate in 4, severe in 1.
- Oedema: slight in 2, moderate in 8.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not harmful

Remarks:

in accordance with EU CLP (EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments)

Conclusions:

An LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg bw was obtained in the acute dermal toxicity study with rabbits.

Executive summary:

In the acute dermal toxicity OECD 402-like study with rabbits (strain unspecified) that pre-dated GLP, a single application of 5000 mg/kg bw of test substance resulted in 2 out of 10 rabbits dying on days 7 and 13 of the observation period. No data on the type of coverage and exposure duration were provided. One rabbit which died on day 7 appeared emaciated, lethargic and ptotic and had discharge from nose and eyes on the day prior to death. Necropsy signs of the rabbit which died on day 7 included dried faecal material in the anogenital region, nose and mouth exudate, small spleen, mottled kidneys and red portions of large intestine. The other one rabbit showed also mottled kidneys and, in addition, blotchy liver and yellowish nodules on liver. Skin irritation signs were observed in all animals: slight erythema was noted in five, moderate in four and severe in one rabbit. Slight oedema was observed in two and moderate oedema was observed in eight rabbits.
