Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
DOSAGE PREPARATION: 1.0 mL test material was diluted to 10.0 mL with water.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 0.6 mL/kg bw

Doses:
0.25 mL/kg bw corresponding to 252.5 mg/kg bw
0.35 mL/kg bw corresponding to 353.5 mg/kg bw
0.50 mL/kg bw corresponding to 505.0 mg/kg bw
0.55 mL/kg bw corresponding to 555.5 mg/kg bw

- Frequency of observations: daily
- Frequency of weighing: after fasting; surviving animals were weighed at the end of the 14-day observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs
Statistics:
The defined oral LD50 was calculated by the Litchfield-Wilcoxin method of Probit Analysis (J. Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 96: 99-115, 1949).
