Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-Guideline study. According to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Range finding study:
There were no deaths. Clinical signs of toxicity noted in females were hunched posture, diarrhoea, red/brown staining around the snout and mouth.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
One female was killed in extremis on day 6
Clinical signs:
other: The female, killed in extremis on day 6, showed hunched posture, lethargy, decreased respiratory rate, tiptoe gait, red/brown staining around the snout and mouth, ataxia, emaciation, ptosis, splayed gait, and body tremor on days 3 to 6 with additional sig
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were observed at necropsy of animals killed at the end of the study. Haemorrhagic lungs, dark liver, dark kidneys and haemorrhage of the large and small intestines were noted at necropsy of the female killed in extremis on day 6.
