Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female

LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
1 animal died at 2000 mg/kg bw approximately one hour after dosing.
Clinical signs:
other: Animal 1 exhibited convulsions approximately 5 minutes following dosing. A degree of recovery soon occurred although the animal was lethargic 30 minutes after dosing and remained so throughout the first day. In addition, lacrimation was noted approximate
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were observed in any animal at the necropsy examination performed at the end of the observation period or in the early decedent animal.
