MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: The dose volume was determined by dividing the dose levels of 2959 and 5000 mg/kg, by the specific gravity (1180 mg/mL). Individual doses of the test article were calculated based on body weights obtained just prior to dosing and dose levels of 2.51 and 4.24 ml/kg for the 2959 and 5000 mg/kg groups, respectively.
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
A sufficient amount of test article, agitated prior to use, was transferred from the original container to a labelled storage container. A stir bar was added, and the test article was stirred continuously throughout use.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Not applicable - Doses:
- 2959 and 5000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 20 animals (10 male and 10 female)
Groups of five male and five female were administered either 2959 or 5000 mg/kg dose levels. - Control animals:
- not specified
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The rats were observed at approximately 1, 3 and 4 hours post-dosing on day 0 and once daily thereafter for 14 days. Body weights were obtained and recorded on study days -1, 0 (initiation), 7 and 14 (termination). In addition, decedents were weighed as soon as they were found.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight; other: The major organ systems of the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities were examined for all animals. - Statistics:
- No information provided.

- Clinical signs:
- other: other: Clinical findings were noted in both dose groups during the first week of the study. Four animals in the 2959 mg/kg group and all animals in the 5000 mg/kg group were noted with various discolored areas due to discharges/excretions [described as w
- Gross pathology:
- Three animals (one male and two females) that died were noted with dark red contents in the stomach and/or a distended stomach. Various red and/or yellow matting around the eyes, nose, anogenital and/or urogenital area was noted for these animals that died. There were no other necropsy findings for animals found dead. One male from the 5000 mg/kg group was noted with capsular scarring of the spleen at the scheduled necropsy. There were no other findings for any examined tissues at the scheduled necropsy.

- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The results of this study indicate that the LD50 of Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resin ERL-4221 was found to be approximately 5000 mg/kg in fasted male and female albino rats when administered once orally via gavage. Based on these results, it was not necessary to classify the test substance according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In a study conducted by Kern (1999), the acute oral toxicity of Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resin ERL-4221 was evaluated in a single-dose study in rats. The test article was administered once orally via gavage to groups of five male and five female fasted albino rats at dose levels of 2959 and 5000 mg/kg. The animals were observed at regular intervals for up to 14 days following administration to ascertain any changes in body weight or clinical behaviour. At termination of the study after 14 days, the animals were necropsied and any changes in the major organs was recorded.
3 males and 2 females in the 5000 mg/kg group died within six days of dosing. Mortality was 0/10 and 5/10 for the 2959 and 5000 mg/kg groups, respectively. Clinical findings were noted in both dose groups during the first week of the study with observations including various discolored areas due to discharges/excretions, hypoactivity and/or impaired muscle coordination. Animals in the higher dose group were noted with decreased defecation, decreased urination, labored respiration and/or convulsions. All animals appeared normal by day 6 and throughout the remainder of the study. Three animals that died were noted with gastric abnormalities. There were no other internal gross necropsy findings for animals found dead.
The LD50 of Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resin ERL-4221 was found to be approximately 5000 mg/kg in fasted male and female albino rats
when administered once orally via gavage. Since the median lethal dose estimate was much higher than the test guideline limit, it was not necessary to classify the test substance according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC.
