Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 of 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid in rats was ca. 1700 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, rats were given a single oral dose of 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid in aqueous suspension with carboxymethyl cellulose and were then observed for 7 days.

During the observation period, clinical signs were urine being yellower than normal, bad general condition, partly red crusted nose and snout, apathy as well as initial weight loss. During gross pathology, acute cardiac dilatation with congestive hyperemia, bloody gastric ulcerations and haematinized intestinal contents were observed.

Oral LD50 (rats) ca. 1700 mg/kg bw
