Based on:

act. ingr.

Mortality:

There were no deaths at 50 mg/kg bw.

Clinical signs:

other: 300 mg/kg bw: Signs of systemic toxicity noted were hunched posture, lethargy, pilo-erection, ataxia, decreased respiratory rate, hypothermia, ptosis and dehydration. 50 mg/kg bw: Hunched posture was noted in one animal 1 hour after dosing. No other si

Gross pathology:

Clinical Observations. Signs of systemic toxicity noted in the animal that was humanely killed were hunched posture, lethargy, pilo-erection, ataxia, decreased respiratory rate, hypothermia, ptosis and dehydration. Hunched posture was noted in one animal treated at a dose level of 50 mg/kg. No other signs of toxicity were noted.

Body Weight. Surviving animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Necropsy  Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal that was killed during the study were dark liver, thickened non-glandular region of the stomach and a gaseous small intestine.

 

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be in the range of 50 - 300 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System-Category 3).

No. of animals per sex per dose:

1 female

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

The animal was observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and on Day 1. After removal of the dressings the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.
The animal was humanely killed by cervical dislocation on Day 1. The animal was subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities and examination of the sub-cutaneous layer below the treatment site. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.

Remarks on result:

not determinable

Remarks:

The dermal LD50 of the test item could not be accurately evaluated due to the corrosive nature of the test item.

Mortality:

The animal was killed for humane reasons due to due to the corrosive nature of the test item in accordance with the severity limit set forth in the UK Home Office Project License.

Clinical signs:

other: Clinical signs noted one day after dosing were hunched posture, lethargy and tiptoe gait. It was considered that these signs may have been due to the dermal reactions causing uncomfortable movement as opposed to systemic toxicity.

Gross pathology:

Full thickness necrosis and hemorrhage of the underlining tissues were noted at the visual inspection of the sub-cutaneous layer at the treatment site.

Other findings:

Dark green dermal necrosis over the majority of the treatment site was surrounded by a margin of blanching and moderate erythema.

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of CGE-PMDA adduct could not be accurately evaluated due to the corrosive nature of the test item.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item CGE-PMDA adduct in the Wistar strain rat.

One female animal was given a single, 24-hour, semi‑occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item to intact skin at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Based on the results of the initial animal, no further animals were treated. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. The animal was subjected to gross necropsy.

 

Mortality. The animal was killed for humane reasons due to the corrosive nature of the test item in accordance with the severity limit set forth in the UK Home Office Project License.

Additional information

Acute oral Toxicity

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat according to OECD Guideline 420 and EU method B1 bis (fixed dose procedure).

Following a sighting test at dose levels of 300 mg/kg bw and 50 mg/kg bw, a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of test item, as a solution in dimethyl sulfoxide, at a dose level of 50 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

The animal treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg was killed for humane reasons, due to the occurrence of clinical signs of toxicity that approached the severity limit set forth in the UK Home Office Project License.

Signs of systemic toxicity noted in the animal that was humanely killed were hunched posture, lethargy, pilo-erection, ataxia, decreased respiratory rate, hypothermia, ptosis and dehydration. Hunched posture was noted in one animal treated at a dose level of 50 mg/kg bw. No other signs of toxicity were noted.

Surviving animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal that was killed during the study were dark liver, thickened non-glandular region of the stomach and a gaseous small intestine.

 

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be in the range of 50 -300 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System-Category 3).

Acute dermal toxicity

This study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of CGE-PMDA adduct in the Wistar strain rat in accordance with OECD Guideline 402 (2017).

One female animal was given a single, 24-hour, semi‑occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item to intact skin at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Based on the results of the initial animal, no further animals were treated. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. The animal was subjected to gross necropsy.

The animal was killed for humane reasons due to due to the corrosive nature of the test item in accordance with the severity limit set forth in the UK Home Office Project License.

Clinical signs noted one day after dosing were hunched posture, lethargy and tiptoe gait.

Dark green dermal necrosis over the majority of the treatment site surrounded by a margin of blanching and moderate erythema was noted one day after dosing.

The animal lost weight over the study period.

Full thickness necrosis and hemorrhage of the underlining tissues were noted at the visual inspection of the sub-cutaneous layer at the treatment site. 

In this study, the test item CGE-PMDA adduct was found to be corrosive.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item could not be accurately evaluated.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item was classified as Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item could not be accurately evaluated in an acute dermal toxicity study due to the corrosive nature of the test item.

Labelling with H301: Toxic if swallowed and the signal word Danger is required

No studies are available for acute inhalation toxicity.
