Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Sprague-Dawley

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Animals were received from Charles River, Raleigh NC, on 15 Oct 2015 and 05 Nov 2015. Following an acclimation period of at least five days, three male and three healthy, non-pregnant and nulliparous female Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to treatment groups without conscious bias.
The animals were born on 19 Aug 2015 and 09 Sep 2015. The pretest body weight range was
250 - 258 grams for males and 200 - 207 grams for females. The weight variation of the animals used did not exceed ±20% of the mean body weight of the previously dosed animals within a sex.
The animals were identified by cage notation and indelible body marks, and housed in suspended wire cages; five per sex per cage prior to dosing and three per sex per cage following dosing. Absorbent paper bedding was placed beneath the cages and changed at least three times per week. Fresh PMI Rat Chow (Diet #5012) was freely available except for 16-20 hours prior to dosing. Water was available ad libitum. The animal room, reserved exclusively for rats on acute tests, was temperature controlled, had a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and was kept clean and vermin free.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

The test article was used as received and the dose was based on the sample weight as calculated from the specific gravity. A single dose was administered orally by syringe and dosing needle to three female rats and three male rats.

Doses:

Dose level of 2000 mg/kg was administered to three female rats and three male rats.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

In Vivo – Animals were observed at 15 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose and once daily for 14 days for toxicity and pharmacological effects and twice daily for mortality. Body weights were recorded immediately pretest, weekly, at death and at termination in the survivors.
Post Mortem – All animals were humanely sacrificed using CO2 and were examined for gross pathology following study termination.

Gross pathology:

Female
The gross necropsy, of the animal that died, revealed red staining of the nose/mouth area and abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. No observable abnormalities were observed among the survivors.
Male
The gross necropsy revealed emaciated appearance, bloated abdomen, chromodacryorrhea, chromorhinorrhea, and abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 determined for the test item by OECD 423 method is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w. The oral LD50 calculated for Propan-1-ol,2-amino-2-methyl-, 4-methylbenzenesulphonate was 918 mg/kg b.w..

Executive summary:

The oral LD50 determined for the test item by OECD 423 method is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w. The oral LD50 calculated for Propan-1-ol,2-amino-2-methyl-, 4-methylbenzenesulphonate was 918 mg/kg b.w.
