IN-LIFE DATES: From: 1982-05-05 To: 1982-07-01

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 50% weight/volume
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 30.00 millilitres

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2 mL/100 g

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Twice daily, once daily on weekends
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs, body weight, necropsy

Statistics:

No statistical analyses were performed as none were required to achieve the objective of the study.

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: Based on lack of mortality

Mortality:

No animals died after administration of the test substance.

Clinical signs:

other: Yellow staining in inguinal region was experienced by all test animals after dosing, but this sign disappeared by the third study day. One animal had brown staining on its lower jaw for the first 4 days, and two animals had oil around their mouths immed

Gross pathology:

No adverse effects were noted as a result of the test material.

The LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw based on a lack of mortality in male and female rats.

Interpretation of results:

other:

Remarks:

Not classified because LD50 is greater than the requirements for a Category 4 toxicant (2000 mg/kg) Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw based on a lack of mortality in male and female rats.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, 14 to 19 week old Fisher 344 rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of alpha olefin C20-24 in corn oil at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw, and observed for 14 days.

No treatment-related adverse effects were noted in body weight or necropsy observations, and the only clinical signs noted (yellow staining of the inguinal region, oil around mouth, and brown staining on lower jaw) all disappeared by day 5 of the study period. The oral LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg in males and females.

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it is a GLP study and is in compliance with OECD Guideline 423.
