Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

One male and one female died between 5 minutes and 48 hours after treatment.

Clinical signs:

other: Clinical signs included adoption of a prone or squatting position, ruffled fur, altered mobility, diarrhoea or nasal bleeding. All survivors were symptom-free after 48 hours.

Gross pathology:

Post mortem revealed hyperaemia of gastric mucosa. It appears full PM was not possible due to cannibalism.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

An acute oral toxicity study conducted in compliance with the now deleted OECD 401, without GLP status, identified an LD50 value in male and female rats in excess of or 2000 mg/kg bw.
