Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: no animal died within the observation period
Gross pathology:
- animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes
Other findings:
The following effects were observed after administration of test substance: hair raising, diarrhea, yellow coloured faeces. 72 h after application animals were free of any symtoms.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Single application of 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance did not cause lethality in female Wistar rats during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Female Wistar rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance were administered by gavage. No animal died under these conditions during the 14 -day observation period, thus leading to a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.
