Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be >4670mg/kg body weight. When wistar rats was treated with sodium N-methyltaurinate (4316-74-9) orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in wistar rats usingsodium N-methyltaurinate (4316-74-9).test material in dose concentration 4000, 4500, 4750, 5000, 6300 mg/kg in water given by oral route. No mortality was observed at dose 4670mg/kg bw but Necropsies showed unspecified changes to the intestines/ gastrointestinal tract, especially in the rats that died before the end of the experiment HenceLD50 was considered to be >4670mg/kgbody weight. When wistar rats was treated with sodium N-methyltaurinate (4316-74-9)orally.
