Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

Groups of 10 male Wistar rats received single oral doses (3100 or 5000 mg/kg bw) of aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate dissolved in water and were observed for 14 days. Rats dosed with 3100 mg/kg bw tolerated the treatment without clinical signs or mortality. All 10 rats dosed with 5000 mg/kg bw showed sedation and poor general condition within 2 to 6 days after application of aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate, 4/10 died. Thus the LD50(oral) is >5000 mg/kg bw.
