Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Remarks:
(PAG 400)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw (2000 mg/kg) or 20 mL/kg bw (3000 or 4000 mg/kg bw)

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):The test substance was suspended to achieve the corresponding dosage level. Before treatment the suspension was homogeneously dispersed with an Ultra-Turrax and during treatment it was kept stable with a magnetic stirrer.

Doses:
2000, 3000, 4000 mg/kg bw (No higher doses were possible).
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 and weighing: Bodyweights were recorded immediately prior to dosing (control weights) and at 7 and 14 days. Physical condition and rate of deaths were monitored throughout the whole observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
