Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 1% Aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (Carmellosum natricum middelvisceus, BUFA, IJsselstein, The Netherlands; water: Elix, Millipore S.A.S., Molsheim, France)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 2000 mg/kg / 10 ml/kg
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at the laboratory and on test item data supplied by the Sponsor. There was no information available regarding the solubility or stability in vehicle.
- Lot/batch no. (if required):
- Purity:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
The toxicity of the test item was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 + 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15.
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: EU GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD guideline 423 on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable with no deficiencies in documentation or any deviations. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess the acute toxicity of (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate in rats.
The oral LD50 value of (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute oral toxicity with (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate was performed in the rat (Acute Toxic Class Method).

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: OECD No.423 (2001) "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method" Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, B1 tris: "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method" EPA, OPPTS 870.1100 (2002), "Acute Oral Toxicity" JMAFF Guidelines (2000), including the most recent revisions.

(S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).

No mortality occurred.

Hunched posture and/or piloerection were noted for all animals on Days 1 and/or 2.

The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The oral LD50 value of (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results, (S)-(4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenecarbothioate does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
