Mortality:
Seven 3980 mg/kg males died on day 1, a further male died on day 2. Two days after dose administration four 3160 mg/kg males and one 2510 mg/kg male died. All of the male animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg survived until the end of the study. Two days following dose administration nine 3980 mg/kg females, five 3160 mg/kg females and two 2510 mg/kg females died. One 2000 mg/kg female died seven days following dose administration. All remaining animals survived until the end of the study (see table 1 for further information).
Clinical signs:
other: Clinical signs that were recorded during the study included unkempt coat, reduced activity, atony, emaciation, prone position and increased respiratory frequency (see Table 3 for further information).
Gross pathology:
Pathological findings included gastroesophageal erosions, pinky red spleen and hyperaemia at the knee joints in the 3980 mg/kg dose group; pinky red spleen, hyperemia at the knee joints in the 3160 mg/kg dose group and diarrhoea pulmonary oedema and hyperemia at the knee joints in the 2510 mg/kg dose group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the acute oral LD50 was determined to be 3339 mg/kg in males rats and 3031 mg/kg in female rats.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test material was determined under GLP conditions to the standardised guideline OECD 401. During the study 10 male and 10 female rats were dosed orally, by gavage, with a single administration of test material in arachidic oil. Animals were dosed at 2000, 2510, 3160 and 3980 mg/kg and were observed for a period of 14 days post administration for mortality and clinical signs; body weights were also recorded. Fourteen days following test material administration animals were sacrificed and an assessment of the internal organs was performed. Under the conditions of the study seven 3980 mg/kg males died one day following dose administration, a further male died on day 2. Two days following dose administration four 3160 mg/kg males and one 2510 mg/kg male died. All of the male animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg survived until the end of the study. Two days following dose administration nine 3980 mg/kg females, five 3160 mg/kg females and two 2510 females mg/kg died. One 2000 mg/kg female died seven days after dose administration. All remaining animals survived until the end of the study. The LD50 of the test material was subsequently determined to be 3339 mg/kg in males and 3031 mg/kg in females.

The test material is considered sufficiently similar to (z)-3-hexenyl salicylate on the basis of read-across such that the results from this study can be used to address the acute oral toxicity of (z)-3-hexenyl salicylate.
