Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity after oral application is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The test item (2000 mg/kg bw) was given to rats by oral administration to obtain information on the toxicity, in particular lethality, of the test item.

The test item was administrated oral to 5 male and 5 female WISTAR rats.

No signs of toxicity were observed in 3 males and 4  females.  2 males and 1 female showed 2 -4 hours after treatment following symptoms: abnormal gait, crouched posture, slight  sedation and ataxia, piloerection, slight hypothermia (1 male, 1 female),  bloody lacrimation (1 male). 5 hours after treatment there were no more symptoms.

There was no influence on the increase in body weight.

Dissection at the end of the experiment revealed no evidence of macroscopically discernible organs.

Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity after oral application is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
