substance
No. of animals per sex per dose:
No. of Animals/Dose Level: 5 Females (200 and 1,000 mg/kg)
5 Males and 5 Females (2,000 mg/kg)

not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: 0, 7 and 14 days or after death
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes- Surviving rats were euthanized via CO2 inhalation on Day 14. Gross necropsies were performed on all decedents and euthanized animals.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, organ weights, histopathology, other: Body weights at start, day 7 and day 14. Gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, and coma. On all decedents and euthanized animals, tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities were examined.
