Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No animal deceased in consequence of the single treatment with the test substance at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw via gavage, therefore no LD50 could be determined and is therefore assumed to be >2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

For the estimate of potential acute hazard after single administration of DMOE-acetate, 5 Wistar-rats of each sex were treated by gavage with 2000 mg/kg bw/d of the test item, formulated in carboxymethyl cellulose. The treatment was followed by an observation period of 14 days and a necropsy with gross pathological examination after completion. No mortality occured during the observation period and no gross pathological findings were noted.

Due to no mortality no LD50 could be determined and was assumed to be >2000 mg/kg bw/d.
