Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 200 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Male: 200 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 3; Number of deaths: 0
Female: 200 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 3; Number of deaths: 0
Female: 2000 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 3; Number of deaths: 2
Clinical signs:
Signs of toxicity related to dose levels:
Mortality:
Two females treated with 2000 mg/kg were found dead on test
day 2. All other animals survived until scheduled necropsy.
Clinical signs:
In all animals, treated with 2000 mg/kg, ataxia and sedation
were observed on test day 1. In two animals, ruffled fur was
evident and persisted in one animal until test day 6. In one
female, irregular respiration and ventral position were
noted before it was found dead. No clinical signs were
observed in all animals, treated at a dose level of 200
mg/kg.
Body weights:
The body weight of the surviving animals was within the
range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
Gross pathology:
Effects on organs:
No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.
