Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
To determine the LD50 of the test substance, 5000 mg/kg bw was administered to 5 female mice orally. The mice were observed for mortality and signs of toxicity for 6 days after dosing. The body weights were recorded on day 0 prior to dosing and on day 6.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Test type:
standard acute method
