Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- A single oral gavage administration was followed by a fourteen-day observation period. On the night before treatment, the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld during an overnight period. Animals were weighed just before treatment. The test item was administered by oral gavage in the morning. The food was returned 3 hours after the treatment.
- Doses:
- 2000mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Clinical Observations: performed at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter. Individual observations were performed on the skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Body Weight Measurement: body weight was recorded on the day before treatment (Day -1), on the day of the treatment (Day 0) and weekly after.
Necropsy:
Macroscopic examination was performed on all animals. Surviving animals were sacrificed by exsanguination under pentobarbital anaesthesia (Euthasol® 40 %; Lot: 11B15 6; Expiry date: January 2014; Produced by: AST Beheer B.V. Oudewater Netherlands (Produlab Pharma, Raamsdonksveer)). After examination of the external appearance, the cranial, thoracic and the abdominal cavities were opened and the organs and the tissues were observed. Macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. - Statistics:

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Indium trichloride resulted in mortality at 2000 mg/kg bw (1/6 on Day 4).
- Clinical signs:
- other: Treatment with Indium trichloride caused decreased activity (6/6), hunched back (6/6), piloerection (6/6), and death (1/6). All surviving animals fully recovered and were symptom free from Day 6 until the end of the observation period.
- Gross pathology:
- Necroscopy:
Macroscopic findings:
Found dead animal:
Dark/red discoloration of the non-collapsed lungs, thymus, mandibular and lung-associated lymph nodes, and fur at the perinasal area were found at necropsy.
Surviving animals:
No macroscopic observations were noted in remaining surviving animals terminated on Day 14.
- Other findings:
- none

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Tests done according to standard protocol. Good quality and considered useful for setting the reference value for acute oral toxicity (LD50>2000mg/kg)
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the acute oral toxicity of indium trichloride (InCl3).
As no mortality was observed in Group 1 (three Wistar rats treated at a dose level of 2000mg/kg), a confirmatory group (Group 2) was treated at the same dose level. Mortality was observed in one animal in the confirmatory group, therefore no further testing was required according to OECD 423 and CommissionRegulation(EC) No 440/2008of30 May2008, B.1.tris.
Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50value of the test item Indium trichloride was found to be above 2000 mg/kg bw in female Wistar CRL:(WI) rats.
