Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 20 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No deaths occurred during the 14-day-observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: In all animals lethargy was observed 20 minutes post-treatment and ended within 48 hours.
Gross pathology:
Internal organs appeared normal by gross examination. One observation was made about external appearance at sacrifice. The posterior ventral surface of all rats dosed in this test was hairless.
Other findings:
none

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of octadecyl isocyanate was low with an LD50 value > 20000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats (method similar to OECD TG 401). Single administration of 20000 mg/kg bw was tolerated without mortality. In all animals lethargy was observed 20 minutes post-treatment and ended within 48 hours.
