TEST ANIMALS
- Source: CIBA-GEIGY LTD. Tierfarm, 4334 Sisseln, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: 7-8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 159 - 215 g
- Fasting period before study: overnight
- Housing: groups of 5
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Rat food, NAFAG No. 890, NAFAG AG, Gossau, SG (Switzerland), provided ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22+/- 3
- Humidity (%): 55+/- 15
- Air changes (per hr): approximately 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours/12 hours

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 ml/kg body weight
Doses:
1000, 2000, 4000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever lasts longer
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality = daily; a.m. and p.m. on working days, a.m. on weekend days; Signs and Symptoms = daily; Body weight = on days 1, 7, 14, 28 and at death
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
Where feasable, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944)
