Not applicable.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality was observed during this study.
Clinical signs:
other: Decreased motor activity was seen in 9 out of 10 animals in the high dose group within 24 hours following the high dose administration. During this same period, diarrhoea was observed in 2 of 5 high dose female rats and 1 of 5 low dose male rats. All rat
Gross pathology:
One male in the high dose group was found to have dark red edges on the spleen.
Other findings:
No other findings were reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test report describes a valid guideline study, with auditation and quality assurance inspections of the final report.The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) for the test material was determined to be greater than 10000 mg/kg in male and female rats. Thus, the test substance can be considered as not acutely toxic via the oral route.
Executive summary:

An acute oral study was conducted using a similar procedure to that described in the current OECD Guideline 401 (Reckers, 1981). The test material (CAS No. 91648-65-5) was administered at dose levels of 5000 mg/kg, to two male and two female rats, and 10000 mg/kg to five male and five female rats by oral gavage.

The rats were observed for 14 days after test material administration. General signs of intoxication exhibited by the rats following dosing included decreased motor activity and diarrhoea. There were no mortalities in either dose group. No gross pathologic alterations were noted among the animals at study termination. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) for the test material was determined to be greater than 10000 mg/kg in male and female rats.
