Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 6924 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3-Methylbutyl propionate orally.
Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity study, rabbits were treated with 3-Methylbutyl propionate in the concentration of 6924 mg/kg bw orally by gavage in physiological saline and observed for 24 hours. 50 % mortality was observed at 6924 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 6924 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3-Methylbutyl propionate orally.
