Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negativeTwo doses of 2000 mg/kg 2NPPD in 0.5 percent (w/v) gum tragacanth given 24 hours apart were administered orally to groups of 5 male and 5 female rats. The rats were killed 6 hours after the second dose, and bone marrow smears were examined. 2NPPD did not produce micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in rats
Executive summary:

Two doses of2000mg/kg2NPPD in 0.5 percent (w/v) gum tragacanth given 24 hours apart was administered orally to groups of 5 male and 5 female rats. The rats were killed 6 hours after the second dose, and bone marrow smears were examined.

2NPPD resulted in the production of orange urine. Agitation, convulsions, and lethargy were observed in animals.

2NPPD did notproduce micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in rats.
