Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value was considered to be 6270 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was conducted in rats using the given test chemical at the dose concentration of 6270 mg/kg bw.

Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality observed at 6270 mg/kg bw.

Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 6270 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
