Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Acclimatization period: at least one week
Animals with a comparable weight were used.
Age at study start: about 12 weeks
Five animals per cage (type: stainless steel wire mesh cages, DK-III).
The animals were identified via groups using cage cards.
Room temperature: 20 - 26!C
Relative humidity: 45 - 75%
Day/night rhythm: 12 h light and 12 h darkness
The animals were offered a standardized animal laboratory diet as well as tap water ad libitum. 16 hours before administration food deprivation (but water was available ad libitum).

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
The aqueous preparation (solution) corresponds to the physiological media.
Concentrations used were 21.5, 26.1, 31.6, 38.3 and 46.4% (G/V).
Administration volume: 10 ml/kg
Doses:
2150, 2610, 3160, 3830, 4640 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Observation period: 14 days
Recording of signs and symptoms: > 15 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 5 h after administration, then once each working day. Check of moribund or dead animals twice each working days and once on public holidays.
Necropsy: 16 hours before killing with CO2 food deprivation; then necropsy with macroscopic-pathological examination. Necropsy of all animals that died as soon as possible.
