Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: unspecified
Vehicle:
cotton seed oil
Details on oral exposure:
Fifty young adult albino rats (5 males and 5 females/group) were fasted for 18 +/- 2 hours and given 5 graded doses (8.19 to 32.72 grams/kg) of TNPP. The sample was prepared as 50% solution in cottonseed oil and doses were administered by stomach tube.
Doses:
8.19 - 11.32 - 16.38 - 22.62 - 32.72 g/kg bw.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
50
Control animals:
other: needed for data submission
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Rats that died as well as survivors sacrificed at the end of the experiment were examined for evidence of gross pathology.
Statistics:
The LD50 was computed according to the method of Miller and Tainter.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
16 200 - 21 800 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Mortality resulted at scattered intervals over the first five days.
Clinical signs:
other: All rats showed evidence of abdominal pain and catharsis after dosage. Higher doses resulted in urinary incontinence and prostration.
Gross pathology:
Gross pathological findings included hemorrhagic lesions in the gastric mucosa and/or duodenum in a few rats that died and hemorrhagic lungs.
