Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test substance p-Bromoanisole when administered by the oral route was 1907 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

An acute oral study was perfomed on 8 -12 weeks female Sprague Dawley rats with dosage of 1000, 1414 and 2000 mg/kg. The test followed OECD guideline 401 and was performed to GLP standard.

At dose level of 1414 mg/kg bw only one mortality was observed

At dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw 3 mortality deaths were observed.

Therefore the LD50 females of the test substance p-Bromoanisole was determined to be greater 1907 mg/kg bw.

Male animals were considered not to be markedly more sensitive to the test material than the female animals.
