Necropsies were perrormed by experienced prosectors.
All animals were necropsied.
All animals surviving to the end o the observation period were killed by intra peritoneal injection of sodium pentobarbitone.

Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity

The acute oral toxicity was determinated in the substance according to the OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity) and EU Method B.1 (Acute Toxicity (Oral), in GLP.

The test article was administered to rats of both sexes by oral gavage at single doses from 1000 to 5000 mg/kg.

Several recovered clinical signs were observed. The LD50 oral toxicity in rats of both sexes observed for a period of 15 days was 2717 mg/kg.

Acute Dermal Toxicity

The acute dermal toxicity was determinated in the substance according to the OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) and EU Method B.3 (Acute Toxicity (Dermal), in GLP.

The test article was applied to the skin of rats of both sexes for 24 hours at a single dose of 2000mg/kg.

No death was observed at 2000 mg/kg, animals had recovered until termination of the study. No systemic symptoms were observed in the animals throughout the study. Males/females were sacrificed, no macroscopical findings noted.

The LD50 was defined > 2000 mg/L.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral toxicity

According to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC, 3.1.2.1 section, substances can be allocated to one of four toxicity categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric criteria shown in Table 3.1.1:

Oral (mg/kg body weight)

Category 1: LD50 ≤ 5

Category 2: 5 <LD50 ≤ 50

Category 3: 50 < LD50 ≤ 300

Category 4: 300 < LD50 ≤ 2 000

The oral LD50 value of substance in Wistar rats was 2717 mg/kg/body weight.

The substance is not classified for oral toxicity because it doesn't meet the classification criteria of the CLP regulation n. 1272/2008.

Acute dermal toxicity

According to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC, 3.1.2.1 section, substances can be allocated to one of four toxicity categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric criteria shown in Table 3.1.1:

Dermal (mg/kg body weight)

Category 1: LD50 ≤ 50

Category 2: 5 <LD50 ≤ 200

Category 3: 50 < LD50 ≤ 1000

Category 4: 300 < LD50 ≤ 2 000

The oral LD50 value of substance in Wistar rats was > 2000 mg/kg/body weight.

The substance is not classified for dermal toxicity because it doesn't meet the classification criteria of the CLP regulation n. 1272/2008.
