Tall oil pitch, reaction product with triethylene glycol

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The study was performed to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test item Tall Oil Pitch, reaction product with triethylene glycol in the female Wistar rat. The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 420 and under GLP conditions.

A single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was administered to female Wistar rat via oral gavage. Clinical signed and body weight changes were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There were no deaths during the length of the study. No signs of systemic toxicity were observed. The body weight were in the normal values. No abnormalities were recorded in the necropsy.

In conclusion, according to the results of this study, the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg/bw, therefore the substance is unclassified.

Details on study design:

Starting dose: 2000 mg/kg/bw

A single animal was treated as follows:
- Dose level: 2000 mg/kg/bw
- Concentration: 200 mg/mL
- Dose Volume: mL/kg
- Number of rat / female: 1
In the absence toxicity at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional group of animal was treated as follows:
- Dose level: 2000 mg/kg/bw
- Concentration: 200 mg/mL
- Dose Volume: mL/kg
- Number of rat / female: 4

A total of five animals were therefore treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study.

All animals were dosed once by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential.

Sufficient time was allowed between each dose group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.

Clinical observations were made 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for up to 14 days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily, early and late during normal working days, and once daily at weekends and public holidays.

Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.

At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.
