Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: once daily for mortality and clinical signs
- Frequency of weighing: on day 0, 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
LD50 value according to Finney (1971)

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
pre-test in 1 male/1 female per group at 13, 18, 24 and 32 mg/kg bw --> no deaths
additional pre-test in 1 male/1 female per group at 1300, 2400 and 3200 (male only) --> all dead within 4 days.

Clinical signs:
other: apathy and lethargy during the initial days
Gross pathology:
in animals that died: diminution of antrum (sometimes with enlarged forestoach and petechiae in 5 animals; no abnormalities in others
in survivors: yellow granules in the stomach (2 animals); whitish material in the bladder (3 animals); no abnormalities in others

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The LD50 is 1300 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Five rats per sex received a single dose of 1100, 1500 or 2000 mg/kg bw by gavage. During the 14 day observation period 4, 6 and 9 animals died at 1100, 1500 and 2000 mg/kg respectively. These animals showed decreased body weight, apathy and letargy and effects on the antrum. Other animals survived and showed no clear treatment related effects.

Based on these findings it is concluded that the LD50 is 1300 mg/kg bw (males and females combined).
