Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: no mortality occurred
Mortality:
All animals survived throughout the study.
Clinical signs:
other: Most animals exhibited severe dermal effects (necrosis, followed by eschar formation, and exfoliation of the eschar tissue) at a small portion or less than half the dose site which persisted throughout the study. Single occurrences of nasal discharge, and
Gross pathology:
Except for one animal which exhibited clear fluid in the abdominal cavity, other gross postmortem observations were similar to those seen in control animals in this laboratory or were considered to represent normal physiological variation.
Other findings:
Most animals had decreased food consumption on Days 2 and 3; this continued in a few animals through Day 7 .
