Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF test
The study was conducted according to an internal BASF method. Several groups of 5 mice per sex and dose were treated intraperitoneally with preparations of the test substance as 2-30% aqueous solution (w/v).
Each animal received a single intraperitoneal injection of test solution.
The animals were observed for mortality and for clinical symptoms of toxicity. At the end of the observation period of 7 days, the surviving animals were sacrificed for the purpose of necropsy; animals that died during the observation period also were subjected to necropsy.

The LD50 value was estimated on the basis of the observed mortalities.
GLP compliance:

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 7 424 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: Calculated for a concentration of 100% test substance, the LD50 is > 3341 mg/kg b.w.
Mortality:
1 male of the 6400 mm3/kg treatment died within 24 hrs after application.
Clinical signs:
Directly after injection, all animals showed accelerated respiration. In the 200 and 1600 mm3/kg treatments, the signs were reversible withinone day. Animals of the 3200 and 6400 mm3/kg treatments showed squatting posture and atonia as additional clinical signs. All signs were reversible at least after 5 days.
Gross pathology:
200 and 1600 mm3/kg: nothing abnormal detected
3200 mm3/kg: indifferent liver borders in 1/10 animals; splenomegaly in 1/10 animals
6400 mm3/kg: indifferent liver borders, splenomegaly; 1 male had carcassed abdominal organs
