Results and discussion

LD50
Effect level:
> 10 mL/kg bw
Key result
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 7 100 - 7 800 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: recalculated values based on the LD50 of 10 mL/kg bw; the range is due to the range of density (0.71-0.78 g/cm3)
Mortality:
The test material produced no deaths at any dosage level tested.
Gross pathology:
There were no pathological findings in any animal at autopsy following sacrifice.
Other findings:
The animals at all dosage levels seemed normal in appearance and behaviour following intubation and daily during the 14 -day observation period.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The acute oral LD50 of MRD-61-33 for male albino rats is therefore greater than 10 mL/kg body weight corresponding to 7100 - 7800 mg/kg bw.
