Death occurred within 1 h of dosing; survivors recovered and there were no overt signs of toxicity. No gross abnormalities were identified on examination.

LD50 (Servon XRK 60) = 3.20 ml/kg bw. or 3.68 g/kg bw (TS specific gravity 1.15)

Equivalent to an LD50  for 100% CHPTAC of 2213 mg/kg bw/day

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A reliable study conducted very largely in compliance with a standard guideline but without GLP, identified an LD50 value for 60% CHPTAC of 3.20 ml/kg bw in male and female rats. This would be equivalent to an LD50 for 100% CHPTAC of 2213 mg/kg bw.
