Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

Details on oral exposure:

TEST ITEM PREPARATION: the test item was administered as received.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg body weight

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: based on available toxicity data of the test item, the starting dose level was the one that was likely to produce mortality in at least some of the animals.
- The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. Dose volume (mL/kg body weight) was calculated as dose level (g/kg) / spec.gravity.
- The dosing formulations were stirred continuously during dose administration.

Doses:

The toxicity of the test item was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Based on the results, one additional group was dosed at 2000 mg/kg.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 females (2000 mg/kg/)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
* Throughout the study, animals were observed for general health/mortality and moribundity twice daily, in the morning and at the end of the working day.
* Postdose observations were performed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (at least three times) and once daily thereafter.
* Animals were weighed individually on day 1 (predose), 8 and 15. A fasted weight was recorded on the day of dosing.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The oral LD0 value of Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to assess the toxicity of the test item when administered in a single dose to female rats at one defined dosage. The study was carried out in compliance with the guidelines described in OECD No.423 (2001) "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method".

Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar Han rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).

No mortality occurred. Restless behavior, hunched posture and/or piloerection were noted for the animals between Days 1 and 3. The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The oral LD0 value of Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
