Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of isobutyl phenylacetate in rats was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of isobutyl phenylacetate was evaluated in 10 rats. The study was conducted prior to the development of GLP/guidelines. The test substance was administered orally at the limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. The rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality for 14 days after administration. There were no mortalities, and no signs of toxicity were observed. The acute oral LD50 of isobutyl phenylacetate in rats was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
