Post mortem examinations revealed hyperaemia of mucous membranes of the GI tract in some animals; mucous membranes were partially pale.The GI tract contents were thin, foamy and slimy, partially showing yellow-orange or red-brownish discolouration. Some animals showed tympanites of stomach and intestine. Furthermore, the intestinal mucous membrane showed convulsion and hyperaemia in some animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 for the active material (CAS 68411-31-4) in the rat is 2925 mg/kg bw and hence, the substance shall not be classified for acute oral toxicity.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study 4 groups of young female and male Bor: WISW rats were given a single oral dose of Marlopon AT 50 (50% LAS TEA, 1% neutral oil, 1% triethanolamine, 3.5% trethanolamine sulfate, water) at doses of 3980, 5010, 6310, 10000 mg /kg bw mg/kg bw (equivalent to 2211, 2783, 3506, 5556 mg/kg bw active ingredient) and observed for 14 days.Treatment with the test product resulted in the following clinical signs that were observed approximately half to two hours after administration of the test material: sedation, ataxia, hypothermia, diarrhoea, cowering posture, tremor, horrent fur, dyspnoea, ventral position (temporarily) and diuresis. The symptoms dissappeared within 72 hours after treatment. Post mortem examinations revealed hyperaemia of mucous membranes of the GI tract in some animals; mucous membranes were partially pale.The GI tract contents were thin, foamy and slimy, partially showing yellow-orange or red-brownish discolouration. Some animals showed tympanites of stomach and intestine. Furthermore, the intestinal mucous membrane showed convulsion and hyperaemia in some animals. No effects were observed at the lowest dose tested. The acute oral LD50 for the active material (CAS 68411-31-4) in the rat is 2925 mg/kg bw and hence, the substance shall not be classified for acute oral toxicity.
