Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 1250 mg/kg bw (95% CI: 8200-189000),when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was performed in rats using test chemical.50% mortality was observed at dose 1250 mg/kg bw. Hence,LD50 value was considered to be 1250 mg/kg bw(95% CI: 8200-189000),when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
