Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the oral LD50 in rats for test substance was determined to be >16000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity of the test substance, di- C16 PSE (purity: 100%), according to the notification no. 118 of the Pharmaceuticals Affairs Bureau, 15 Feb 1984, Toxicity Test Guideline (similar to OECD guideline 401). Groups of fasted, 4 to 6 weeks old CFY (Sprague-Dawley origin) rats, 10/sex were given a single oral dose of test substance in distilled water at doses of 0 (control) and 16 g/kg bw and observed for 14 d. No mortality occurred. Piloerection was observed in all animals in the treated group, however, the animals had recovered on Day 3. No effects on body weight were observed. Terminal necropsy findings were found to be normal. Under the study conditions, the oral LD50 in rats for test substance was determined to be >16000 mg/kg bw (Kynoch, 1985).
