Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value was considered to be 3600 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in rats at the concentration of 3600 mg/kg. 50% mortality was observed at 3600 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be 3600 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
