IUPAC Name:
Analogue of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C16-24-alkyl derivs., calcium salts
Details on test material:

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley

No signs of systemic toxicity were observed. All treated animals exhibited skin irritation. Significant differences in mean body weight were observed between treated and control males on days 2, 7 and 14. At necropsy, multiple pinpoint scabs were observed in three treated males and one treated female.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
No mortality occurred at a maximum tested level of 2000 mg/kg bw and the study has been completed as a limit test. The LD50 is considered to be more than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study, groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were given a single dermal dose of the calcium sulfonate read across substance (Analogue of CAS 70024-69-0), at 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred in this limit test; therefore an exact LD50 has not been determined. The test article, when administered dermally as received to 5 male and 5 female Sprague Dawley rats had an acute dermal LD50 of greater than 2.0 g/kg. No evidence of systemic toxicity was observed.
