For substance information - see Section 1.2
IUPAC Name:
C14-16-18 Alkyl phenol
Test material form:
other: slightly viscous liquid
Details on test material:

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Strain: Wistar strain Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality)
- Age at study initiation: Approximately 8 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 147 to 163 g. Body weight variation did not exceed ± 20 % of the sex mean.
- Fasting period before study: Animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3 to 4 hours after administration of the test material. Water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: Group housing of 3 animals per cage in labelled cages (height 18 cm) containing sterilised sawdust as bedding material and paper as cage-enrichment.
- Diet: Free access to pelleted rodent diet
- Water: Free access to tap water
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 18 to 24 °C
- Humidity: 40 to 70 % (relative)
- Air changes: at least 10 air changes/hour
- Photoperiod: 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.215 mL/kg body weight. Dose volume was calculated as dose level (g/kg) / density (g/mL).
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 females; the test material was administered to two subsequent groups of three female rats
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality and viability twice daily. Body weights were recorded on Day 1 (pre-administration of the test material) and on Days 8 and 15. At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter until Day 15, animals were observed for clinical signs. The signs were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes. At the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy.
- Other examinations performed: Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was performed as the method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the LD50 value was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The potential of the test material to cause acute oral toxicity in the rat was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 423, EU Method B.1 tris, EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and JMAFF 12 Nousan, Notification No. 8147 under GLP conditions.

The test material was administered by oral gavage to two subsequent groups of three fasted female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was conducted after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).

No mortality occurred. Hunched posture and piloerection were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

Under the conditions of this study the LD50 value was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
