A further group of 10 rats (main study, 5 male and 5 female) was treated at the highest dose level causing no deaths in the range-finding study.
The dose levels required for the range finding study were 5.0, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.5 ml/kg bw.
The animals were fasted overnigth prior to dosing. Immediately before dosing, the animals were individually weighted and the required dose administered as a single peroral injection using a metal cannyla. The animals were examined for the oover signs of toxicity immediately after dosing, 4 hours after dosing and then daily for 14 days. - GLP compliance:

- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Young adult Sprague-Dawley derived rats in the weight range 160 to 295g supplied ny Charles River U.K limeted, Margate, Kent.
The animals were housed in single sex group in cages (4 per cage range-finding study and 5 per cage main study). The cages were placed in a thermostatically controlled room under controlled lighting conditions.
Oxoid maintenance diet supplied by Herbert C. Styles and water were available ad libitum. - Route of administration:

The dose level required for the main study was the higest dose level causing no deaths in the range-finding study. - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- range-finding:1 male/ 1 female per dose group.
main study: 5 males/ 5 females treated with 2.0 mL/kg/d. - Control animals:

- other: No signs of toxicity at 2.0 mL/kg/d.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The results suggest that LD50 of Cyclamen Aldehyde is likely to be in excess of 2.0 mL/Kg bw.
