Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 845 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: original value: ca. 1.0 mL/kg bw
Mortality:
0.2 and 0.4 mL/kg bw: no deaths after 7 days
0.8 mL/kg bw: 2/5 after 7 days
1.6 mL/kg bw: 5/5 after 7 days
Clinical signs:
other: Animals that died showed 20 minutes after administration spasmodic trembling, tonic-clonic convulsions and breathlessness. The surviving animals recovered soon. Already on the evening of the study day no remarkable symptoms were seen.
Gross pathology:
Animals that died: reddening of the gastric mucosa
