Box 50 Newark, Delaware 19714 Medicine Page 1 of 8 DuPont HLR 649-95 GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT This study was conducted in compliance with EPA TSCA Good Laboratory Practice Standards (40 CFR 792) with the following exceptions: 1. The dosing preparations used in the study were not analyzed for stability, homogeneity, or accuracy of concentration. The procedures used by trained staff to prepare the dosing preparations ensured: the accuracy of concentration because the test substance was weighed on an analytical balance accurate to 3 decimal places and the vehicle in which it was suspended was accurately measured in a flask graduated in 1 mL increments, homogeneity because the mixture was stirred prior to dosing and while portions were removed for dose administration, and stability because the time between dose preparation and administration was kept to a minimum (less than 1 hour). 2. H-21333 did not undergo GLP analysis to determine purity. The deviations did not affect the validity of the study. Submitter: E.

Rats were found dead up to 7 days after dosing. Clinical signs of toxicity were observed in lethally and nonlethally dosed animals. Under the conditions of this test, the ALD was 2300 ing/kg of body weight. This substance is considered to be slightly toxic (ALD 500 - 5000 Bg/kg) when administered as a single oral dose.

The ALD was defined as the lowest dose administered which caused death either on the day of dosing or within 14 days post exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Animal Husbandry Male CrlsCDBR rats, approximately 7 weeks old, were received from Charles River Breeding Laboratories, Raleigh, North Carolina. Rats were housed singly in suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rat was assigned a unique identification number which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. The rats were tail-marked, using a water-insoluble marker, with the last 3 digits of the animal number. Purina Certified Rodent Chow #5002 and water were available ad libitum. Haskell Laboratory has an animal health monitoring program. This program is monitored and administered by the Laboratory Veterinarian. Water samples are periodically analyzed for total bacterial counts and for the presence of coliforms, lead, and other contaminants. Additionally, samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are periodically analyzed to assure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers. Data from this program are maintained separately from study records. Animal feed is certified by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and to be free of a list of specified contaminants. On the basis of these analyses, there is no evidence suggesting that contaminants were present in the feed or water in amounts which may have interfered with the results of this study. Rats were quarantined, weighed, and observed for general health for approximately one week prior to testing. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer-controlled, 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Environmental conditions of the rooms were targeted for a temperature of 23C 1C and relative humidity of 50% 10%. Excursions outside these ranges were of small magnitude and/or brief duration and did not adversely affect the validity of the study. B. Protocol The test substance was suspended in deionized water and administered to 1 rat-per dose rate by intragastric intubation. In the absence of visible evidence to the contrary, the test substance was assumed to be 6 Sanitized. Dee n8 TSCA fiw _ DuPont HLR 649-95 stable under the conditions of administration. Dose rates administered ranged from 450 to 3400 mg/kg of body weight in increments of approximately 50%. The dosing day was test day 1; postexposure day 14 was test day 15. Following administration of the test substance, rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity. Surviving rats were weighed and observed daily until signs of toxicity subsided, and then at least 3 times a week throughout the 14-day observation period. Observations for mortality were made daily throughout the study. Pathological examinations of test animals were not performed. C. Records Retention All raw data and the final report will be stored in the archives of Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, E. I. du Font de Nemours and Company, Newark, Delaware or in the DuPont Records Management Center, wilmington, Delaware. RESULTS A.
