Doses:
Animals were dosed orally at the doses 50, 300, 500, 2000 mg/kg b.w.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Initially three female rats were dosed at 2 000mg/kg b.w. Based on the response following doses were applied

Details on study design:
Initially three female rats were dosed at 2 000mg/kg b.w. Based on the response additional groups of animals were dosed.
Animals were observed 0.5, 1, 2.3.4 hours postdose and then once daily for 14 days for mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects.
Preliminary study:
Initially three female rats were dosed at 2 000mg/kg b.w. All3 animals died within 3 minutes from dosing.

2000 mg/kg 0/3 NA/3
Clinical signs:
other: 50 mg/kg - no signs 300 mg/kg - 1 male and 1 female died within 4 h, lethargy was the only sign observed 500 mg/kg - lethargy,sagging eyelids, all 3 animals died within 2 h
Gross pathology:
50 mg/kg - normal
300 mg/kg - dead animals - abnormalities in lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, brown staining in nose/mouth, survivors - 3 animals had normal results, 1 animal had mottled kidneys
500 mg/kg - abnormalities in lungs, kidneys and spleen
2000 mg/kg - 2 animals no findings, 1 animal red areas on the lungs
Interpretation of results:
toxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 of the 50% solution of Methanaminium N,N,N-trimethyl-, salt with 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid in 1,2-ethandiol is 330 (235-464) mg/kg bw. The estimated oral LD50 of the Methanaminium N,N,N-trimethyl-, salt with 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid is therefore 165 mg/kg b.w.
Executive summary:

Methanaminium N,N,N-trimethyl-, salt with 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid acute oral toxicity was tested with the result LD50 ca 165 mg/kg b.w.
