Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 of the test substance in male and female rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Five male and five female Tif: RAIf(SPF) rats were treated with the test substance by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 5000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80 and administered at a volume dosage of 20 mL/kg. All animals survived until the end of the study period. Clinical signs were dyspnea, ruffled fur, and curved body position, being common symptoms in acute tests. The animals recovered within 11 days. Body weight gains were normal, no macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy. In conclusion, the median lethal dose of the test substance after single oral administration to male and female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
