Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

DMSO

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/ml

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In the absence of data suggesting the test material was toxic, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the
starting dose.

Doses:

One dose of 2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and once daily for 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Prior to dosing and at 7 and fourteen days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: All animals were subjected to gross pathological examination. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities for examination of major organs.
