Acute toxicity of 2-butyne-1,4-diol (BYD) was evaluated in laboratory animals. The evaluation involved acute oral and dermal toxicity in rats, dermal and ocular irritation in rabbits and skin sensitization in guinea pigs. The oral L D ~~ values for BYD were 132 mg kg-' in male rats and 176 mg kg-' i

โฆ Synopsis
2-Butyne-1,4-diol was given to male and female Wistar 1mp:DAK rats by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days in daily doses of 1, 10 or 50 mg kg-' day-'. After 28 days all animals were necropsied. Blood samples were obtained and selected organs were weighed and prepared for histological examination. Treatment-related effects in the high-dose group consisted of: fatal cases in both sexes; depressed body weight gain in males; increase of absolute and/or relative weights of liver and kidneys in both sexes; decreased red blood cell count, haematocrit value and haemoglobin concentration in female rats and elevated reticulocyte count and leukocyte count in both sexes; increased total serum protein content in females, elevated glucose concentration in males and higher activity of sorbitol dehydrogenase in both sexes; and histopathological evidence of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in decedents, and hepatic and splenic changes in survivors. Minor hepatic, splenic and erythrocytic changes were also found in some females given the middle dose. The dose of 1 mg kg-' day-' was considered to be the no-observed-effect level (NOEL), and 10 mg kg--' day-' the lowest-observed-effect level (LOEL).
