Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be 1200 mg/kg bw, when 50 rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
- Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical in 50 rats at the dose concentration of 1.2 ml/kg (approximately 1.34 g/kg).
Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 6 days.
50% mortality was observed at 1200 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Severe depression and dyspnoea were reported prior to death.
Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 1200 mg/kg bw, when 50 rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
