Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

olive oil

Details on oral exposure:

The required amount of the test item (according to the body weight and dose) was mixed with vehicle (olive oil) shortly before administration. The test item was administered in a single dose by gavage using a metal stomach tube. Animals were fasted prior to dosing (food but not water were withheld over-night). Following a period of fasting, animals were weighed and the test item administered. After test item administration, food was withheld for further 3-4 hours.

Doses:

The starting dose could be selected from the fixed dose levels of 5, 50, 300, and 2000 mg/kg body weight. Available information indicated that the test item is likely to be non-toxic with regard to acute toxicity. A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used as a starting dose. One group of 3 females was dosed. Test item-related mortality was not observed during 24 hours and therefore, in a second step, another 3 females were treated at the same dose.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All (6/6 females) animals survived the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Clinical signs:

No mortality was observed during the study. During the follow up period, no animals displayed signs of intoxication, change of health, nor any other adverse reaction.

Body weight:

The body weights of all animals were increasing during the study. No body weight losses were observed between the first and second week after administration.

Gross pathology:

All animals were necropsied. During necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol administered to 6 females at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight did not cause death. No signs of toxicity were observed during the first 4 hours in females or the 14-day observation period thereafter. The body weights of all animals were increasing during the study. No body weight losses were observed between the first and second week after administration. During necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed.
