- Necropsy of survivors performed: Necropsies were performed by experienced prosectors. At the end of the observation period all animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of NARCOREN (Rhone Merieux GmbH, D-88471 Laupheim) at a dose of at least 2.0 ml/kg body weight and sacrificed by exsanguination. The animals were examined macroscopically.

The acute oral LD50 of FAT-20036/F in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The test article IRGALAN BLAU 3GL ROH FEUCHT (FAT 20'036/F) was tested for acute oral toxicity according to OECD Guideline 401. FAT 20036/F was administered to a group of 5 male and 5 female rats by oral gavage, at the single maximal dose of 2000 mg test article/kg bw.

There were no deaths observed as a result of treatment with the test article. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the observation period. There was no effect on body weight gain during the observation period. No organ abnormalities were observed at necropsy.

Based on the above findings, the mean lethal dose (LD50) of IRGALAN BLAU 3GL ROH FEUCHT (FAT 20'036/F) was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information

Oral:

Several studies investigating acute toxicity of FAT 20036 via oral route are available.

In the study (1994) designated to be key, the test article IRGALAN BLAU 3GL ROH FEUCHT (FAT 20'036/F) was tested for acute oral toxicity according to OECD Guideline 401. FAT 20036/F was administered to a group of 5 male and 5 female rats by oral gavage, at the single maximal dose of 2000 mg test article/kg bw. There were no deaths observed as a result of treatment with the test article. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the observation period. There was no effect on body weight gain during the observation period. No organ abnormalities were observed at necropsy. Based on the above findings, the mean lethal dose (LD50) of IRGALAN BLAU 3GL ROH FEUCHT (FAT 20'036/F) was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Four others supporting studies are available where FAT 20036 was investigated over a dose range of 1000 to 20000 mg/kg bw. In these studies, no mortality was reported even at 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, FAT 20036 can be assumed to have low acute toxicity via oral route.

Inhalation:

Currently no study to assess the acute inhalation toxicity potential of FAT 20036 is available. However, the vapour pressure for the target chemical is considered to be low owing to the high melting point (>350 °C), hence its considered to have low volatility. Synthesis and spray drying of this chemical is performed in a closed process; the final product consists of non-dusty granules. Hence, the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalation route will be unlikely to occur. Further the chemical was found to have low acute toxicity when tested via oral route with no mortality and clinical signs when tested at 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, considering all the above arguments, it is considered that FAT 20036 has a low toxicity potential via inhalation route and thus the study on acute inhalation toxicity is considered scientifically not necessary.

Dermal:

Currently no study to assess acute dermal toxicity of FAT 20036 is available. The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of the chemical was determined to be -0.70, while the water solubility was 53.7 g/l. These physicochemical properties indicate chemical istoo hydrophilic to cross the lipid rich environment of the stratum corneum, supporting the hypothesis that dermal uptake for the chemical will be low. The chemical showed low toxicity potential in the available acute oral toxicity study (LD50 >5000 mg/kg bw), with neither mortality nor clinical sings being seen. Similarly, absence of systemic toxicity in skin irritation as well as sensitization studies, further supports the conclusion that no adverse effects are expected via the dermal route. Further experience with similar chemical substances has demonstrated that it is very unlikely that toxicity related to the intrinsic properties of the chemical only show up upon dermal exposure and not after systemic administration. Hence, low toxicity is expected on acute dermal exposure of FAT 20036 and testing by the dermal route was considered scientifically not necessary.

Justification for classification or non-classification

FAT 20036 is found to have low acute toxicity via oral route with LD50 >5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, it does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
