Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value was considered to be >1200 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 1200 mg/kg bw.

Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in animals at 1200 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, the LD50 value was considered to be >1200 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
