Any other information on results incl. tables

A dose of 200 mg/kg body weight was tolerated by male and female rats without clinical signs, without effects on body weight and without mortality.

A dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight caused in males decreased motility and reactivity, tonical cramps, rolling over, labored breathing and red salivation. The signs observed occurred within 40 - 60 minutes and lasted up to the death of the animals.

In animals that died during the observation period the following gross pathological changes were detected: liver dark-red, spleen pale and lungs with many brownish-red areas. The gross pathology investigations performed at the end of the follow-up period did not afford any findings indicative of a specific test compound effect.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for rats was 300 - 500 mg/kg body weight.
