Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance was administered orally by gavage in graduated doses to several groups of experimental animals, one dose being used per group. Subsequently observations of effects and deaths are made. Animals which die during the test are necropsied, and at the conclusion of the test the surviving animals are sacrificed and necropsied.
GLP compliance:
yes

other: Hagan et al 1959 Method
Limit test:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified based on EU CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity potential of the test substance, 'Cocodimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolysed keratin' (active content not specified), according to a method described by Hagan et al 1959, in compliance with GLP. Ten albino rats (5 animals each sex), weighing 200 to 300 g, each received a single oral dose of the test substance at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for pharmacological activity and drug toxicity at 1, 3, 6 and 24 h after treatment and daily thereafter for a total of 14 d. Non-survivors and animals surviving the 14 d observation period were subjected to gross necropsy, with all findings noted. No significant changes in bodyweight or gross were observed in any animal. Under the study conditions, the LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw (CPT 1981).
