Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 3914 mg/kg bw ,when groups of 10 (5 males,5 females) rats were treated with 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (872-50-4) orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in groups of 10 (5 males,5 females) rats using test material 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone(872-50-4) .50% Mortality was observed at dose 3914 mg/kg bw. Hence,LD50 value was considered to be 3914 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated with 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone(872-50-4)orally.
