Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Groups of 5 mice per sex and dose were treated simultaneously by intraperitoneal injection with preparations of the test substance in carboxymethylcellulose containing 2-3 drops of Cremophor EL. The concentrations of these preparations were usually adjusted to achieve comparable volumes (10 ml/kg bw).
Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 7- to 14-day study period.
GLP compliance:
no
Limit test:
