Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate was studied for oral toxicity in rats in a 28-day repeat dose toxicity test at doses of 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg. No animals of either sex in any group died. Salivation, considered to be caused by irritation with the test substance, was observed immediately after administration of sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate in both sexes of the 1000 mg/kg dosage group and transiently continued. The test substance did not cause any changes in clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, urinary findings, results of hematological and blood chemical analysis and organ weights. Therefore, the NOEL for the 28-day repeat dose oral toxicity test of sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate is considered to be 300 mg/kg/day for male and female rats.
Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA.
Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations or polyploidy in CHL cells with or without an exogenous metabolic activation system.
