LD50
Effect level:
1 010 mg/kg bw

Any other information on results incl. tables

The minimal lethal dose was 850 mg/kg. After single doses larger than 1000 mg/kg leading to a comatose state with death occurring within 12 -36 h, no liver cell alterations were seen microscopically; livers of rats dying 6 -11 days after 850 -1000 mg/kg showed extensive centrolobular necrosis with inflammatory reactions and appearance of fat ill surviving liver cells.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 (rat): 1010 mg/kg
Executive summary:

The oral LD50 of the test substance was determined after a 24-hour fast with free access to tap-water. The minimal lethal dose was 850 mg/kg. Single doses larger than 1000 mg/kg lead to a comatose state with death occurring within 12 -36 hours with no liver cell alterations observed microscopically. Liver effects were observed in rats dying 6 -11 days after 850 -1000 mg/kg. The LD50 was 1010 mg/kg.
