Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation
Type of inhalation exposure:
not specified
Details on inhalation exposure:
Dynamic nebulization inhalation
Tests were performed using an apparatus for dynamic inhalation developed by ourselves. The compound was nebulized in a mixture of water and Lutrol
Static nebulization inhalation
The animals were held in 2m3 rooms and subjected for 4 hours over half-hour periods to the active ingredient nebulized as a solution in water and Lutrol (1:1). The observation period lasted 14 days and the following results were obtained.
Duration of exposure:
4 h
No. of animals per sex per dose:
20 rats were used for each test. We obtained the following results over an observation period of 2 weeks.
