Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Although the LD50 is in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw it is not known what effects will be obtained at higher levels. Therefore,
classification in Category V is warranted according to OECD-GHS. - Executive summary:
Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with PDTN in the rat.
The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: EC Comm Directive 92/691EEC, Part B.3 and OECD No.402. PDTN was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal occlusive application at 2000 mglkg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily
observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15; day 1 is day of dosing). No mortality occurred. Red staining of the neck was noted in one female between days 3 and 7. Scabs or scales were seen in the treated skin-area of two other females between days 3 and 6. Body weight gain during the observation period was slight in male rats and almost absent in female rats. If animals indeed would have been ca. 9 weeks at the start of the study, the slight BW gain in males or absence of BW gain in
females would point at a toxicological relevant effect. However, based on the reported BW weights at the start of the study it is more likely that animals of this strain (Wistar) were much older and were, therefore, out of their growing phase.
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The dermal LD50 value of PDTN in Wistar rats was established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results and according to the OECD-GHS criteria for classification, PDTN requires classification in Category V, as toxicity at (much) higher levels was not tested.
