Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was evaluated in rats in a limit test according to the EU method B.1 (92/69/EEC) and in compliance with GLP. Five animals per sex were dosed at 2000 mg/Kg bw. No mortality occured and no clinical signs as well as no treatment-related macroscopic findings were observed. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.
