- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observationdata are logged for the following time points after ingestion of the test substance: 20 min, 1 h, 3 h, 24 h, 48 h, 6 and 7 days, and 14 days. Weighing of animals was done at the beginning of the test and after 14 days (survivors only).

- Necropsy of survivors performed: no

- Other examinations performed:
Observation of clinical signs of toxicity was noted at the following time points after ingestion: 20 min, 1 h, 3 h, 24 h, 7 days, and 14 days. Parameters were: Level of consciousness, emotional state, behavioural symptoms (from the CNS), coordination and posture, muscle tonus, reflexes, autonomic functions.
Body weight: at beginning and end of test
Organ weights and macroscopic pathology: performed on animals if they died during test period.
Histopathology was not performed.

Gross pathology:
In animals dying during the test period, acute mortality within 48 hours and delayed mortality within 7 days after ingestion, autopsy findings included erythematous gastric and enteric mucosa, whereas pathological examination revealed no observable changes in other organs incl. CNS, lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, reproductive organs and the lymphatic system.
Other findings:
- Organ weights: no data described
- Histopathology: Not performed
- Potential target organs: Not described

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Even the lowest dosage is above the 2000 mg/kg bw limit for classification of substances as toxic Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
Based on a fixed dose acute oral toxicity study in rats, the LD50 (14 d) of Small Vinyl Ester was determined: 14.15 ml/kg bw (13.38 -14.92 ml/kg bw). The LD50 (24 h) was not calculated due to lack of mortality within the first 24 h.The study and data are below current standard, and should be used for supporting data only.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Small Vinyl Ester in the rat, was tested in a single dose procedure with a 14 day follow up period. The study was conducted following recommendations from "Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics", by the Staff of the Division of Pharmacology, FDA, 1959. Four groups, each including 5 male and 5 female SPF-Wistar rats, were given a single dose of a test solution, containing 50% test substance and 50% arachidis oil, by gavage, and observed for clinical/behavioural signs of toxicity and mortality. Dose range of the undiluted Small Vinyl Ester was 10.0, 12.6, 15.9, and 20 ml/kg bw. Since the test solution was a 50% dilution of the Small Vinyl Ester the actual volume doses given to the rats were 20.0, 25.2, 31.8 , and 40.0 ml/kg bw.

Clinical symptoms, includin lower activity level, mild coordination disturbances, and disturbances in posture, piloerektion, and diarrheoa, started after 20 min and seized after 24 h, when surviving animals returned to normal habitus. Mortality occurred after 48 h up to 7 d after ingestion. The mortality after 14 days (actually 7 days) was 0/10 in group 1, 3/10 in group II, 7/10 in group III, and 10/10 in group IV. Pathological post mortem examination of the dead animals revealed erythematous gastric and enteric mucosa, but no other observable pathology was found.

On this basis a calculated LD50 after 14 days was 14.15 ml/kg bw (13.38 -14.92 ml/kg bw). The LD50 after 24 h was not calculated due to lack of mortality within the first 24 h.

The given volumes of Small Vinyl Ester and test solutions prepared with 50% arachidis oil are 2-4 times higher than the recommended maximum volumes for acute toxicity testing. Thus it cannot be ruled out that the observed mortality, clinical symptoms and pathology is a result of giving very high volumes of oily solution in a single dose. Still the survival of all animals in groups I (doses of 10.0 ml/kg bw) indicates that Small Vinyl Ester is practically nontoxic. The dose in group I was 10.0 ml/kg bw corresponds to a dose of 11.7 g/kg bw (density of test substanc: 1.17 g/ml, results from Liddiard and Koban, 2008), which is above the recommended upper fixed doses for testing in current standards of acute oral toxicity.
