Any other information on results incl. tables

No deaths were observed after oral treatment with 1000 mg/kg. Two males and 3 females died after 1470 mg/kg within 2 days, 2 males and all females died after 2150 mg/kg and 3 males and all females died after 2610 mg/kg within 1 day. Surviving animals (observation period 14 days) exhibited dyspnea, apathy and poor general state at day 1. Animals treated with the higher doses showed abnormal position, staggering gait, twitching, opisthotonus, tonic convulsion and salivation in addition to dyspnea and apathy. At necropsy, animals that died within the study demonstrated hyperemic glandular stomach and mucosa with multiple hemorrhagic erosions, in animals sacrificed after 14 days no abnormalities were detected.
