Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity:

In the acute oral toxicity key study in female Crl:WI (SPF) rats, following the acute toxic class method in accordance with the OECD Guideline 423, the LD50 was established to be 500 mg/kg bw on basis of LD50 cut off mg/kg bw, because three animals died in 2000 mg/kg bw at first step (Toxicoop, 2017). The test item was therefore ranked into category 4 based on GHS criteria.

In two acute oral toxicity supporting studies in Sprague-Dawley strain rats according to OECD401, the LD50 of the test material was considered to be approximately 2000 mg/kg bw (K1, Safepharm, 1991) and LD50 > 200 mg/kg bw but < 2000 mg/kg bw (K1, Safepharm, 1992). According to further acute oral toxicity supporting studies in Sprague-Dawley strain rats according to OECD401 conducted by Safepharm in 1992 and 1994, the LD50 was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

In conclusion, the test item was ranked into category 4 based on GHS criteria which is in line with the result of the key study by Toxicoop (2017).

Acute inhalation toxicity:

The study concerning the acute inhalation toxicity does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size.

Acute dermal toxicity:

study in progress (05/2018).

One female treated with 2000 mg/kg and one male treated with 2828 mg/kg also showed pale spleen. The two females treated with 2000 mg/kg that were killed in extremis during the study also showed blood-filled bladder. Haemorrhage of the gastric mucosa was noted in one female treated with 2828 mg/kg. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals killed at the end of the study.
Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, was considered to be approximately 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

1. A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of chemicals (1981) No 401 "Acute oral Toxicity" referenced as Method Bl in commission Directive 84/449/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of council Directive 67/548/EEC).

The results may be used as a basis for classification and labelling under Annex VI of council Directi ve 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Comrnission Directive 83/467/ EEC) .

2. Three groups, each of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) were given a single oral dose of undiluted test material administered at dose levels of 1414, 2000 and 2828 mg/kg bodyweight. The surviving animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of dosing. All animals were subiected to gross pathologica] examination.

3. Deaths were noted during the day of dosing and one and two days after treatment. Two females treated with 2000 mg/kg were killed in extremis one day after treatment. Connon signs of systemic toxicity noted were hunched posture, lethargy, ptosis, ataxia and loss of righting reflex. Additional signs of systemic toxicity noted were laboured respiration, coma, decreased respiratory rate, increased salivation, hypothermia and tiptoe gait. Surviving animals appeared normal on the day of dosing or one to three days after treatment.

4. Surviving animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.

5. Common abnormalities noted at necropsy of animals that died or were killed in extremis during the study were haemorrhagic or abnormally red lungs, dark, pale or patchy pallor of the 1iver, dark or pale kidneys and haemorrhage of the small and large intestines. Additional abnormalities noted were pale spleen, haemorrhage of the gastric mucosa and blood-filled bladder.

No abnormalities wrere noted at necropsy of animals killed at the end of the study.

6. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was considered to be approximately 2000 nrg/kg bodyweight. It is reasonable to assume that the symbol "Xn" and risk phrase R 22 'HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED" are required according to EEC labelling regulations.

The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting
dose in three female rats. All females died, so the test was continued at 300 mg/kg bw dose level on further three female rats.
No animal died in the second step at 300 mg/kg bw dose level, three further female rats were treated with the same (300 mg/kg bw) dose.
No animal died in the third step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423. was met.

No death occurred at 300 mg/kg bw single oral dose of the test item.
Clinical signs:
other: 2000 mg/kg bw: CNS - and emotion symptoms (decreased activity, bedding digging, closed eyes), disturbances of coordination (incoordination, prone position), decreased righting reflex, decreased muscular tension (grip- and limb tone, body tone, abdominal
Gross pathology:
All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose died spontaneously during the study and were necropsied on the Day 1.
All animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw dose survived until the scheduled autopsy on Day 15.
Autopsy revealed treatment related internal changes as haemorrhaged mucous membrane in the stomach, urinary bladder full of urine,
stomach full of gas and spotted liver in 2000 mg/kg bw dose group.
All organs of the animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.

A single oral administration - followed by a fourteen-day observation period - was performed by gavage.

The day before treatment the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld overnight.

Animals were weighed before the application and the food was given back 3 hours after the treatment.

Starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item.

The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw

as the starting dose in three female rats. All females died, so the test was continued at 300 mg/kg bw dose level

on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step at 300 mg/kg bw dose level, three further female rats

were treated with the same (300 mg/kg bw) dose.

No animal died in the third step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d

of OECD Guideline No. 423. was met.

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS)
described in the OECD Guideline No. 423 as below:

Dose (mg/kg bw) 2000 300
Mortality (dead/treated) 3/3 0/6
LD50 (mg/kg bw) between 300 and 2000
GHS category 4

The estimated LD50 value is 500 mg/kg bw on basis of LD50 cut off mg/kg bw, because three animals died in 2000 mg/kg bw at 1st step.

Executive summary:

1. A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1987) No. 401 "Acute Oral Toxicity" referenced as Method Bl of Commission Directive 84/449/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive

67/548/EEc) .

The results may be used as a basis for classification and label1ing under Annex VI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 9l/325/EEC) .

2. Following a range-finding study, a group of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) was given a single oral dose of test material, as a solution in distilled water at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of dosing and were then killed for gross pathological examination.

3. One male was found dead one day after dosing. Common signs of systemic toxicity noted were ataxia, hunched posture, lethargy, ptosis, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration with additional signs of tiptoe gait. Isolated incidents of systemic toxicity noted were coma, loss of righting reflex and splayed gait. Surviving animals recovered two to five days after dosing.

4. Surviving animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study except for one female which showed no gain in bodyweight during the first week and expected gain in bodyweight during the second week.

5. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the male that died during the study were haemorrhagic 1ungs, dark liver and dark kidneys. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.

6. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. No symbol and risk phrase are required according to EC labelling regulations.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

An acute oral toxicity study with the test item according to the acute toxic class method in female Crl:WI (SPF) rats (OECD guideline 423) was performed (Toxicoop, 2017).

A single oral administration - followed by a fourteen-day observation period - was performed by gavage. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. All females died, so the test was continued at 300 mg/kg bw dose level on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step at 300 mg/kg bw dose level, three further female rats were treated with the same (300 mg/kg bw) dose. No animal died in the third step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423. was met.

The test item was ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) described in the OECD Guideline No. 423 as below:

Dose (mg/kg bw): 2000 / 300

Mortality (dead/treated): 3/3 / 0/6

LD50 (mg/kg bw): between 300 and 2000

GHS category: 4

The estimated LD50 value is 500 mg/kg bw on basis of LD50 cut off mg/kg bw, because three animals died in 2000 mg/kg bw at first step.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The median lethal dose of the test substance after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is: LD50 (female rat): 500 mg/kg bw. The test item is ranked into Category 4 based on GHS criteria.

No studies were available for acute toxicity via the inhalation and dermal route so no classification could be derived for acute toxicity after exposure to the test item via those exposure routes.
