Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality, except
1/4 animals (group 4640 mg/kg) on day 2, but considered unrelated to the treatnment and was replaced.
Clinical signs:
other: Depression in all animals but 1/4 in the 6000-mg/kg group, anorexia in 3/4 and phonation in 1/4 animals in the 4640-mg/kg group.
Gross pathology:
1/4 animals jelly-like material in the intestines,
no other particular findings in any of the other animals.
Other findings:
Signs of dermal irritation observed in all of the rabbits at the 4640 mg/kg level included slight to moderate erythema and slight desquamation.
At the 6000 mg/kg level, slight to moderate erythema and slight desquamation occurred in all of the animals with the findings being of longer duration in the abraded site animals. Edema occurred on Day 1 in one intact site animal.
