Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- BASF Test: Groups of 10 rats/sex were administered the test substance as an aqueous solution at 4 dose levels by gavage. The animals were observed for clinical signs and lethality several times on the day of administration and then once daily during the 14-day observation period. Body weights were determined after 4, 7, and 13 days. Upon completion of the study all surviving animals were sacrificed and submitted to gross-pathological examination.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Test type:
- standard acute method
- Limit test:
- no

- 95% CL:

- Mortality:
- At 2000 and 1470 mg/kg bw, all animals died within 48 hrs and 7 days after administration, respectively. At 1000 and 681 mg/kg bw 14/20 and 3/20 rats died within 48 hrs after dosing, except for one late death at the low dose that occurred in the second week of post-exposure. In general, most of the deaths occurred within 2 days after dosing; however, a few late deaths were also observed.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Signs of toxicity comprised dyspnoea, apathy, aggression, abnormal position, staggering, atony, paresis of the hind limbs, loss of pain reflex, loss of corneal reflex, narcosis, trembling, twitching, spastic gait, trismus, tonic-clonic convulsions, ruffle
- Gross pathology:
- In animals that died or were sacrificed, pathological findings included changes of the heart (acute atrial dilatation and acute congestive hyperemia) and of the stomach (mucosal erythema of the glandular stomach; petechial bleeding; superficial ulcers of the epithelium of the glandular stomach and of the forestomach; thickening of the forestomach wall; formation of buttons; and adhesion of the forestomach to the liver, peritoneum and spleen).
