Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value was considered to be 6500 mg/kg bw, when mice were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in mice at the dose concentration of 6500 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed in treated mice. Hence, LD50 value value was considered to be 6500 mg/kg bw, when mice were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
