Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 20% or 100%

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
Doses:
100, 300, 1000 and 5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: four times during day 1 (day of treatment) and daily during days 2 - 15
- Frequency of weighing: day 1 (before administration), 8 and 15
