Additional information

Acute oral

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to the Acute Toxic Class method (OECD 423), doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg bw of the test item 3-Amino-butan-1-ol (undiluted or preparations in deionized water) were administered by gavage to three test groups of three fasted Wistar rats each (2000 mg/kg bw in 3 females, 300 mg/kg bw in 6 females). All animals of the 2000 mg/kg bw test group died at hour 5 or on study day 1 or 2. No mortality occurred in both 300 mg/kg bw test groups. Clinical findings in the 300 mg/kg bw test group were impaired general state, dyspnoea, piloerection, reduced defecation, gasping. There were no macroscopic pathological findings in the surviving animals of both 300 mg/kg test groups sacrificed at the end of the observation period. The acute oral LD50 was calculated to be LD50, oral, rat > 300 < 2000 mg/kg bw. [BASF, 2014]
