Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this review article a 90-day repeated-dose oral toxicity study in rats is mentioned. At the highest dose of 750 mg/kg bw/day an increases of liver weights were observed. At 750 and 250 mg/kg bw/day changes in clinicla chemistry (kezonuria) occured.
A NOAEL is derived: 74 mg/kg bw/day
