Executive summary:

One oral acute toxicity data is available for rat, limit test done according to OECD Guideline 401. Rats were adminitered orally (gavage) 0 and 2000 mg/kg. Clinical signs observed were decrease of spontaneous motor activity (male/female) and lacrimation in one female rat. No deaths occured and no remarkable macroscopic changes were observed in both male/female. With this study a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg was determined.
