Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Standard acute method before coming into effect of the OECD testing guideline.
The test substance was administered to 10 female SPF-Wistar rats/dose group at doses of 800, 1250, 1600, 2000, and 3200 mg/kg bw by gavage in a starch emulsion. The animals were observed during the 14-days post-observation time for lethality, and clinical signs of intoxictation.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
standard acute method
Limit test:
no

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
1 838 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
1 673 - 2 018
Mortality:
At the two lowest doses, all animals survived until study termination. At 1600 and 2000 mg/kg bw 2/10 and 7/10 animals died, respectively. At the highest dose all animals died within 24 hours after administration.
Clinical signs:
other: Tremors, convulsions, narcotic-like state, yellow urine.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities in the deceased animals.
