Examinations

Examinations:

Results and discussion

Details on results:
Immediately after application both cats experienced increased salivation, 1hr p.a. an increased breathing frequency was observed as well as signs of cyanosis and vertigo. One cat vomited 1hr and 4.5hrs p.a.. Body weight gain was slightly reduced in both cats.
Application of 100mg/kg bw of Acetoacetanilide TTR caused formation of metheamoglobine and Ehrlich-Heinz-bodies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Data show that the test item causes MetHb and Heinz body formation. Data support the conclusion that MetHb related lethality may occur at doses higher than 100 mg/kg bw.

With respect to MetHb forming substances cats are known to react with higher sensitivity than humans. Based on the expected lethal dose of >100 mg/kg bw for the cat, the human acute toxic dose is estimated to be not higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the methaemoglobin-forming potential of Acetessiganilid TTR 2 cats received single oral doses of 100 mg/kg bw. Hematological examinations were made before and after treatment.

Immediately following application both cats experienced increased salivation, 1hr p.a. an increased breathing frequency was observed as well as signs of cyanosis and vertigo. One cat vomited 1hr and 4.5hrs p.a.. Body weight gain was slightly reduced in both cats. Application of 100mg/kg bw of Acetoacetanilide TTR caused formation of metheamoglobine and Ehrlich-Heinz-Bodies.
