Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for tin bis(2 -ethylhexanoate) is 5.87 g/kg with 95% confidence limits of 3.14 g/kg to 10.98 g/kg.
Executive summary:

An approximation of the LD50 was attained by administering the chemical compound to a number of rats on each of several levels. A group of twenty young adult male albino rats of the Sprague-Dawley Strain weighing approximately 200 -250 grams was selected for use in this study. The animals were divided into four subgroups of five animals each and fasted for twenty-four hours prior to dosing. The experimental material was placed in a syringe and introduced through the esophagus into the stomach with a stainless steel catheter. Five rats were dosed at 1.6, 3.2, 6.4 and 12.8 g/kg with the test materail as supplied. Animals on the same dosage level were then placed in a common cage with free access to food and water. The cages employed had wire mesh floors elevated abouve the droppings and were kept in temperature controlled rooms at 72 deg F +/- 2 deg F. Light was furnished for eight out of every twenty-four hour period. The animals were observed for a twenty-one day period and deaths were recorded. The LD50 was calculated using the Thompson Moving Average Method (Biometrics, September, 1952, Vol. 8, No. 3). Rats which received the two higher doses were listless following administration of compound. Fatalities occurred during the first four days on these two levels. One death occurred on the twelfth day at 3.2 g/kg level. The oral LD50 of tin bis(2 -ethylhexanoate) is 5.87 g/kg with 95% confidence limits of 3.14 g/kg to 10.98 g/kg.
