Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LC0
Effect level:
<= 9 900 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
None
Clinical signs:
Activity of the mice was not significantly reduced and no death occurred at dose levels of less than 6900 mg/kg body weight. At dose levels up to 9900 mg/kg, reduced activity, ataxia, slow and sluggish movement immediately occurred. Recovery occurred within 1 hour of dosing and no deaths occurred.
Body weight:
No effects
Gross pathology:
No significant lesions of the body tissues and organs were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Administration of a single dose of diethyl citrate to the mouse by intraperitoneal administration resulted in no mortality at dose levels up to 9900 mg/kg body weight.
