Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
other: LD50 cut-off
Effect level:
500 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
All animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg died within the first hour after administration. A dose of 300 mg/kg was tolerated by female rats without mortalities.

Clinical signs:
other: All animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg showed decreased motility, spasmodic state, increased salvation, abdominal position and labored breathing. In animals of the dose group 300 mg/kg increased salvation, decreased motility, piloerection and narrowed palpe
Gross pathology:
At 2000 mg/kg the gross pathology investigations revealed: liver brownish-black, spleen brownish-black and kidneys spotted clay-colored. No gross pathological findings were observed in animals of the dose group 300 mg/kg.


Without effect on weight gain and gross pathological findings.
Other findings:
None
