Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
>= 300 - <= 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
None at 300 mg/Kg, all at 2000 mg/Kg
Clinical signs:
Signs of systemic toxicity noted in animals treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg were prostration,
noisy and gasping respiration, decreased respiratory rate, pallor of the extremities, increased salivation, hunched posture, lethargy, ataxia and hypothermia.
There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in animals treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg.
Body weight:
The surviving animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.
Gross pathology:
Abnormalities noted at necropsy of animals that died or were killed in extremis during the study were patchy pallor of the liver, haemorrhagic stomach, haemorrhage, ulcerated, epithelial sloughing, thickened or pale non-glandular region of the stomach, haemorrhage, ulcerated, epithelial sloughing, thickened or pale gastric mucosa and haemorrhagic or pale small and large intestines. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.
