Dense black staining prevented assessment of any erythematous responses after removal of the occlusive dressing on Day 2. The slight black staining that persisted on Days 3 and 4 was insufficient
to impede assessment of erythema. No erythema, oedema or other indication of dermal irritation were observed at any site of application during this study.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity study in rats, the LD50 (male/female) was >2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Annex V; Method B3), 5 male and female CD rats [Crl : CD(SD)BR] were dermally exposed (occlusive) to DL-N33 (53.3% paste) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours.

The LD50 (male/female) was >2000 mg/kg bw.

There were no deaths. There were no systemic signs of toxicity. Slightly low bodyweight gains were recorded for one male and one female rat during week 2. Dense black staining prevented assessment of any erythematous responses after removal of the occlusive dressing on Day 2. The slight black staining that persisted on Days 3 and 4 was insufficient to impede assessment of erythema. No erythema, oedema or other indication of dermal irritation were observed at any site of application during this study. Terminal autopsy findings were normal.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

There is one acute oral toxicity study in rats.

In an acute oral toxicity test (OECD 401), 5 male and female CD rats [Crl : CD(SD)BR] were adminstered DL-N33 in 1 % aqueous methylcellulose by oral gavage at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. There were no deaths. No signs of toxicity were observed other than pilo-erection throughout day 1 and day 2. There were no other clinical signs and recovery was complete by Day 3. No effects were observed in any organs. The LD50 (male/female) was >5000 mg/kg bw.

Acute dermal toxicity

There is one acute dermal toxicity study in rats.

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Annex V; Method B3), 5 male and female CD rats [Crl : CD(SD)BR] were dermally exposed (occlusive) to DL-N33 (53.3% paste) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours. There were no deaths. There were no systemic signs of toxicity. Slightly low bodyweight gains were recorded for one male and one female rat during week 2. Dense black staining prevented assessment of any erythematous responses after removal of the occlusive dressing on Day 2. The slight black staining that persisted on Days 3 and 4 was insufficient to impede assessment of erythema. No erythema, oedema or other indication of dermal irritation were observed at any site of application during this study. Terminal autopsy findings were normal. The LD50 (male/female) was >2000 mg/kg bw.

Inhalation route

There is one inhalation toxicity study in rats.

In an acute inhalation toxicity study (GLP), groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were given DL-N33 (whole body) at a dose of 3.37mg/L air (limit test; maximum attainable concentration) for 4 hours. There were no mortalities in males or females. Signs of exposure were confined to staining of the skin, fur and tail by the substance. There was a small reduction in food and water consumption in male exposed rats on day 1. The lungs of all treated animals were coloured greyish due to the substance. Lung to bodyweight ratios were unaffected. No treatment-related changes were found in tissues examined microscopically (lungs, liver, kidneys). The LC50 (male/female) was >3.37mg/L air.

The studies are suitable to use in the human health risk assessment.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance DL-N33 (CAS No. 104815-18-1) does not need to be classified for acute toxicity or specific target organ toxicity - single exposure when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC are applied.
