Executive summary:

In a study of Moreno, 1973, the acute oral toxicity of the test item was determined. The study was conducted with 10 rats per group. The test item was administered in doses of 1480, 2220, 3330 and 5000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for mortality and/or systemic effects for 14 days. Mortality was observed in doses from 2200 mg/kg bw onwards. The LD50 was determined to be 3300 mg/kg bw. Lethargy was observed in animals of the highest dose group.
