Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats, mice and guinea pigs for the given test chemical. The LD50 value is 2000 mg/kg bw. The study concluded that the LD50 value is between >300 - ≤ 2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.024 mmHg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The study concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the present study, The LD50 of the given test chemical is 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test item is classified “Category 4” (300 mg/kg < Acute Toxicity Estimates ≤ 2000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2d of the Guideline, OECD 423 as there was two mortalities observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study was conducted to assess the toxicological profile of the test chemical in Wistar rats.

Undiluted test chemical was administered based on the density of the test item i.e., 1.01 g/cm3 at 27°C (as per TIDS) and the dose volume was 1.98 and 0.30 mL/kg to attain the doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg body weight respectively.

The test item was administered as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted (16 to 18 hours) three female rats (G1-FTS) at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs of Recumbency and ataxia were observed in two rats at 30 minutes to 4 hours, one rat died at 4 hours post dose and the other rat was found dead on day 2. The third rat was normal from day one till end of observation.

Hence as per Annex 2d, three female rats were tested at the next lower dose of 300 mg/kg body weight (G2-FTS). There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed. As per annex 2d of the guideline the treatment was continued with three additional rats at the same dose of 300 mg/kg bodyweight (0.30 mL/kg body weight) – G2-STS. There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed, as per the scheme – the Annex 2d of the guideline OECD 423, the dosing was stopped.

The rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days post treatment. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing on day 1 and again on days 8 and 15. Necropsy was performed for all the rats at termination. All survived rats gained weight during experimental period. There were no gross pathological changes at necropsy.

Based on the results of the present study, The LD50 of the given test chemical is 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test item is classified “Category 4” (300 mg/kg < Acute Toxicity Estimates ≤ 2000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2d of the Guideline, OECD 423 as there was two mortalities observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats, mice and guinea pigs for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

 

The acute oral toxicity study was mentioned in study report and conducted to assess the toxicological profile of the test chemical in Wistar rats.

Undiluted test chemical was administered based on the density of the test item i.e., 1.01 g/cm3 at 27°C (as per TIDS) and the dose volume was 1.98 and 0.30 mL/kg to attain the doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg body weight respectively.

The test item was administered as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted (16 to 18 hours) three female rats (G1-FTS) at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs of Recumbency and ataxia were observed in two rats at 30 minutes to 4 hours, one rat died at 4 hours post dose and the other rat was found dead on day 2. The third rat was normal from day one till end of observation.

Hence as per Annex 2d, three female rats were tested at the next lower dose of 300 mg/kg body weight (G2-FTS). There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed. As per annex 2d of the guideline the treatment was continued with three additional rats at the same dose of 300 mg/kg bodyweight (0.30 mL/kg body weight) – G2-STS. There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed, as per the scheme – the Annex 2d of the guideline OECD 423, the dosing was stopped.

The rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days post treatment. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing on day 1 and again on days 8 and 15. Necropsy was performed for all the rats at termination. All survived rats gained weight during experimental period. There were no gross pathological changes at necropsy.

Based on the results of the present study, The LD50 of the given test chemical is 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test item is classified “Category 4” (300 mg/kg < Acute Toxicity Estimates ≤ 2000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2d of the Guideline, OECD 423 as there was two mortalities observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.

 

The above study report is supported with another study mentioned in different publications, handbooks, authoritative databases and secondary database for the given test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 1600 and 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2000 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2000 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limits of 1700–2300 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

These studies are contradicted with the data available in publication and secondary report for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 2.0-5.0 ml/kg bw. The given test chemical was dissolved in 20-45% Sunflower oil and administered via oral route. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2675 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2675 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

The above contradicted study data is supported with another study available in handbook, authoritative database and secondary report for the given test chemical and conducted on mice at the dose concentration of 2.0-5.0 ml/kg bw. The given test chemical was dissolved in 20-45% Sunflower oil and administered via oral route. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2675 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2675 mg/kg bw, when mice were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

This study is further supported with the data available in handbook, authoritative database and secondary report for the given test chemical and conducted on guinea pigs at the dose concentration of 2.0-5.0 ml/kg bw (approximately equivalent to 2088-5020 mg/kg). The given test chemical was dissolved in 20-45% Sunflower oil and administered via oral route. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2675 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2675 mg/kg bw, when guinea pigs were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between >300 - ≤ 2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.

 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.024 mmHg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal Toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents,

i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -

 

The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) tested in 5 females (3 females for dose range finding study followed by 2 females for main study) Wistar rats at the doses of 200, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on the individual body weight, the undiluted test item at the doses of 200 (0.20 mL/kg body weight), 1000 (0.99 mL/kg body weight) and 2000 (1.98 mL/kg body weight) - based on the density of the test item 1.01 g/cm3 (as per TIDS provided by the sponsor) was applied directly to the clipped skin of the animal to cover about 10% of the body surface of the animal (semi-occlusive). The area of application was covered with cotton gauze (size: Females: 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply) and it was secured in position by adhesive tape wound around the torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours. After the 24 hours contact period, the dressing was removed and the applied area was washed with deionized water and wiped dry using clean towels.

All the rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality for 14 days post application. In addition, the treatment site was observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of test item using the Draize criteria. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and mortality. There was no skin reaction observed at test item applied area. Body weight was measured on days 1, 8 and 15 and all rats gained weight during experimental period. At the end of observation period, all surviving animals were euthanized and subjected to necropsy. There were no abnormalities detected at the necropsy.

Based on the present study results, the acute dermal LD50 of the given test chemical is >2000 mg/kg body weight in female Wistar rats. The test item does not classify for acute dermal toxicity. CLP classification "Not classified”.

 

Another study mentioned in publications, authoritative databases and secondary report was carried out to determine the acute dermal toxicity dose by using the given test chemical in rabbits at the dose concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs. No mortality was observed at 5000 mg/kg bw in treated animals. The only clinical sign observed was anorexia. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.

 

Thus, based on the above summarised studies for test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies for the test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between >300 - ≤ 2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity and the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this range and value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity and cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
