Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Albino rats, five males and five females
All weighed between 200 and 300g

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
All rats were administered a single Sponsor specified dose of the test substance by oral gavage.
Doses:
500 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
All animals received a single dose of 500 mg/kg bw of the test substance by oral gavage. The dose volume did not exceed 1 ml/100 g body weight. Following treatment, the animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity at least once daily for 14 days. Body weights were determined on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14.
