Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw when rat were treated phthalimide orally by gavage
Executive summary:

In a Single Dose acute oral toxicity study,Crj:CD (SD) male and female rats were treated with phthalimide in the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw in 1 % Carboxymethylcellulose sodium orally by gavage. No mortality was observed in treated male and female rats at 2000 mg/kg bw. Similarly, No effects on general appearance and Body weight of treated male and female rats were observed at 2000 mg/kg bw. In addition, No gross pathological and histopathological changes were observed in treatedmale and female rats at 2000 mg/kg bwTherefore,LD50 was considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw when rat were treatedphthalimide orally by gavage.
