Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 8.0 ml/kg

Doses:
males: 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 ml/kg
females: 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 ml/kg
The relative density of Propasol Solvent P is 0.88 g/ml.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: weights were recorded at days 0 (before dose), 7, 14 (just prior to sacrifice)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: at death or sacrifice each animal is subjected to gross pathologic evaluation
Statistics:
LD50's and the estimated LD50 slopes are calculated by the moving average method and are based on a 14-day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the the LD50 value for male and female reported to be > 2000 mg/kg this material is not classified as acutely toxic according to EU criteria via oral ingestion.
Executive summary:

Three groups of 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley albino rats received by stomach intubation with a ball-end stainless steel needle dose levels of 8, 4, 2 ml/kg bw and 4, 2, 1 ml/kg bw, respectively. The LD50 for male rats receiving peroral doses of PROPASOL Solvent P was 4.92 ml/kg bw; that for females was 2.83 ml/kg bw. Signs of toxicity included sluggishness, unsteady gait, lacrimation, tremors (in one) and prostration. Most death occured at 1.5 hours to 3 days. One female succumbed at 6 days. Survivors recovered at 1 to 4 days. At necropsy, there were red lungs, liquid-filled stomachs, one red stomach (glandular section) and one small kidney.
