Endpoint:

acute toxicity: oral

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

22 February and 16 April 1985

Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study without detailed documentation

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Healthy male and female 5-week-old Crj:CD (SD) rats (weight: 120 to 150 g in males and 110 to 145 g in females) were used (10 animals in a group, total 50 each of males and females). A 0.5 (w/v) % suspension of the sample in water containing 7.5 (w/v)% of gum arabic was given to the animals by oral gavage using gastric tube. Animals were observed for general symptoms for 14 days. The LD50 was calculated from the number of survivals and deaths using Bliss's probit model. A preliminary study had been conducted for the sample administration and determined the maximum dose of 44.4 mL/kg. The lower 4 dose levels of 35.5 mL/kg, 28.4 mL/kg, 22.7 mL/kg, and 18.2 mL/kg were selected from the maximum dose at a common ratio of 1.25.

Mortality:

Death occurred from 3 hours after dosing in higher dose groups.

Clinical signs:

other: Decreased locomotory activity was observed from a few minutes after dosing across the dose levels.

Gross pathology:

Subsequent necropsy of animals that survived for 14 days showed mild hypertrophy of the spleen among major organs.

Interpretation of results:

Category 3 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study it was found that 1-cyclohexyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione should be classified as Acute toxicity cat 3 (oral).
