Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Company guideline previous to OECD guideline implementation that is similar to OECD 401
Deviations:
not applicable
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A single dose of 15000 mg/kg bw was tested by administering 25% Aminolon in starch mucilage once per oral gavage to 20 female Wistar rats. Median body weight was 105g (90-116g). 12hrs before administration food was withdrawn. Post administrational observation time was 14d. During this time the rats were fed with standard diet (Altromin R, Altrogge Lage/Lippe) and tap water.

Conclusions:
LD50: >15000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Aminolon was tested for acute oral toxicity following a protocol similar to OECD 401 (limit test). A single dose of 15000 mg/kg bw was tested by administering 25% Aminolon in starch mucilage once per oral gavage to 20 female Wistar rats. Median body weight was 105g (90-116g). 12hrs before administration food was withdrawn. Post administrational observation time was 14d. During this time the rats were fed with standard diet and tap water.

During the observation period lethality was 4 out of 20 animals. These findings demonstarte that LD50 exceeds 15000 mg/kg bw.
