Conclusions:

The acute median lethal oral doses (LD50) and their 95% confidence limits to rats of test substance was estimated to be:
LD 50: 3900 mg/kg bw (2900 - 5100 mg/kg bw; 95% C.I)

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (1699 02/03), 40 rats (10 per group) were given single oral doses of Trigustral at 1730, 2470, 3510 and 5000 mg/kg bw and observed after dosing.

 

Oral LD 50: 3900 mg/kg bw (2900 - 5100 mg/kg bw; 95% C.I)

 

The following treatment-related effects were noted: clincal signs (lethargy, diarrhea with piloerection, chromorhinorrhea and ptosis noted with higher doses); mortality (at the lowest dosage, 3/10 animals dies; at the highest dosage, only one animal survived during 4 days observation period); necropsy observations (intestines, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen showed abnormalities that appeared dose related. The stomach and bladder showed sporadic abnormalities).

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of Trigustral in rabbits was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (1699 02/03), 10 rabbits were given single dermal dose of Trigustral at 5000 mg/kg bw and observed up to 14 days after dosing.

 

Dermal LD 50: >5000 mg/kg bw

 

There were 2/10 deaths on day 1. Signs of toxicity noted in animal 1 from day 6 through day 14 were anorexia, lessened mobility due to severe edema & eschar of exposure site and ptosis; animal 1 was emaciated by day 14. The following observations were noted during necropsy of all animals: intestines, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen showed abnormalities that appeared dose related. The stomach and bladder showed sporadic abnormalities. Skin sloughing of the exposure area (1/10); skin oedema (7/8), skin redness (9/10) and skin hard/thickness (6/10) were also noted.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

There is one acute oral toxicity study available in rats.

 

In an acute oral toxicity study, 40 rats (10 per group) were given single oral doses of Trigustral at 1730, 2470, 3510 and 5000 mg/kg bw and observed after dosing.

The following treatment-related effects were noted: clincal signs (lethargy, diarrhea with piloerection, chromorhinorrhea and ptosis noted with higher doses); mortality (at the lowest dosage, 3/10 animals dies; at the highest dosage, only one animal survived during 4 days observation period); necropsy observations (intestines, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen showed abnormalities that appeared dose related. The stomach and bladder showed sporadic abnormalities). The oral LD 50 was3900 mg/kg bw (2900 - 5100 mg/kg bw; 95% CI)

Acute dermal toxicity

There is one acute dermal toxicity study available in rats.

 

In an acute dermal toxicity study, 10 rabbits were given single dermal dose of Trigustral at 5000 mg/kg bw and observed up to 14 days after dosing.

There were 2/10 deaths on day 1. Signs of toxicity noted in animal 1 from day 6 through day 14 were anorexia, lessened mobility due to severe edema & eschar of exposure site and ptosis; animal 1 was emaciated by day 14. The following observations were noted during necropsy of all animals: intestines, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen showed abnormalities that appeared dose related. The stomach and bladder showed sporadic abnormalities. Skin sloughing of the exposure area (1/10); skin oedema (7/8), skin redness (9/10) and skin hard/thickness (6/10) were also noted. The dermal LD 50 was >5000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance Trigustral (EC No. 943-728-2) does not need to classified for acute toxiciy for specific target organ toxicity - single exposure when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC are applied.
