Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
toxic
Remarks:
Migrated information if swallowed Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
LD50, male rat: 91.5 mg/kg bw
Female rats did not show a higher sensitivity.
Executive summary:

When testing Kresidinsulfmethylamid TF 9 for acute oral toxicity in rats according to OECD 401 an LD50 of 91.5 mg/kg bw was calculated for males. Females did not show a higher sensitivity.

 

Animals showed narrowed palpebral fissures and impairment of respiration, and in the course of motion. Additionally male animals showed prone and lateral position, blood-encrusted lid margin and snout, saltatory and rolling convulsions, exophthalmos, and screaming. Males (females) were free of symptoms 4 (1) days post application.

 

Animals found dead revealed brightened spleen, darkened adrenal gland, and thorax filled with slightly yellow viscous fluid. Survivors were free of abnormal findings.

 

Body weight gain was not affected.
