Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study the LD50 for the test article is greater than 10 grams per kilogram body weight.
Executive summary:

One group of ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) of the Sherman-Wistar Strain were employed in this study. The rats were fasted 24 hours prior to dosing. Each animal was weighed and dosed by direct administration of the undiluted test article at 10 grams per kilogram body weight into the stomach by means of a syringe and dosing needle. Following administration the animals were allowed food and water ad libitum for the 14 day observation period during which time the rats were observed for signs of toxicity and mortalities. At day 14 each of the rats was sacrificed and subjected to gross necropsy. There were no significant gross findings on necropsy. Based on the results of the study the LD50 for the test article is greater than 10 grams per kilogram body weight.
