Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 7 700 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: Mortalities were seen at all doses except for the low dose group
Mortality:
At the highest dose (10000mg/kg) all animals died within 48 hours. At 6810 mg/kg 3 of 5 female rats died within 24 hours and 1 male rat died after 7 days of application. At 4640 mg/kg 1 of 5 female rat died after 7 days. At the lowest dose no animal died within the observation time of 14 days.
Clinical signs:
other: In all dose groups in the first hours after treatment were dyspnae, apathy and staggering found. In the higher dose groups (except lowest dose group) abdominal position, tremor, opisthotonus, diarrhoe, exsiccose, lacrimation and salivation were found.
Gross pathology:
animals found dead: heart: acute dilatation and hyperemia; stomach: dilated, strong intravascular injection, substance induced mucosal malacia as well as bloody ulceration in the glandular stomach; intestine: partly atonic
scheduled sacrificed animals: stomach: agglutination of the gastro-oesophageal vestibule.
