Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Documentation insufficient for assessment (small number of animals, treatment time rather short, only the max dose given, only high dose results reported Thus no dose-effect relationship can be derived).

RS-Freetext:
Urinary porphyrins and porphyrin percursers were the first apparent sign  of intoxication:
max dose: 785 mg/kg bw versus solvent control:
36.59 versus 4.3-6.8 µg/day Coproporphyrin, 
0.72 versus 0.1-0.3 µg/day uroporphyrin, 
57.38  versus 2.5-6.5 µg/day porphobilinogen, 
36.26 versus 38.7-51.6 µg/day delta-aminolaevulic acid
clinical signs:
weight loss, extreme weakness, ataxia, clonic contractions, slight tremor
liver examination:
degeneration of individual liver cells without actual necrosis, or small  areas showing focal necrosis in the central midzonal and periportal region
