Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
at 2000 mg/kg bw: 2/3 females were found dead within 24 hours after dosing
at 300 mg/kg bw: no mortality
Clinical signs:
other: at 2000 mg/kg bw: lethargy, hunched/flat posture, laboured respiration, rales, watery discharge from the eyes, piloerection at 300 mg/kg bw: hunched posture, piloerection, ptosis
Gross pathology:
decedents: beginning autolysis
survivors: no abnormalities

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the substance is between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

In a study according to the acute toxic class method 3 females per group received a single dose at 2000 mg/kg bw and 300 mg/kg bw. At 2000 mg/kg bw 2/3 females were found dead within 24 hours. Necropsy showed beginning autolysis. Clinical signs at 2000 mg/kg bw included lethargy, hunched/flat posture, laboured respiration, rales, watery discharge from the eyes and piloerection. At 300 mg/kgbw (2 trials) all females survived. Clinical signs included hunched posture, piloerection an ptosis.

In surviving animals of both dose groups no effects on body weight were found and macroscopic evalution did not show any abnormaities.

The LD50 is between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw.
