Conclusions:
LD50 (rat) > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Method

Acute toxicity by oral route based on acute toxic class method, according to OECD 423. The study was carried out as limit test. A dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was adminstered by gavage to 3 animal/sex using PEG 300 as vehicle. Animals were observed up to 14 days after dosing.

Results

No deaths occurred, thus an LD50 > 2000 mg/kg was established. Body weight gains during the study period were normal.
