Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
non toxic
Executive summary:

Based on the results of the range-finding study, 10 sprague=dawley rats (5m, 5f) were given 5000 mg/kg bw, suspended in water by gavag of sodium mehtally sulphonate.

in 4/10 animals, a brief period of lethargy shorty after dosing was observed

Since all animals survived the 14 -day recovery period, the LD0 can be set at =5000 mg/kg bw.

No gross pathology was observed at obduction
