Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 440 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Four out of 20 rats of group 1 (6400 ml/kg) died; total mortality rate was 2/20, 3/20, and 4/20 by 24 h, 48 h and 7 days post dose, respectively. No deaths were observed at lower doses. See also Table 2.
Clinical signs:
other: Clinical symptoms were observed in all dose groups; incidence and severity showed a trend to dose-relationship. Clinical symptoms comprised marked staggering, prone/lateral position with extended extremities, narcosis-like state, dyspnea, chewing movement
Gross pathology:
Pathology of the decedents revealed distended gastro-intestinal tract (1 animal), possible renal changes (1 animal), and putrefaction. Signs of cannibalism were noted for 2 animals.
No pathologic findings were noted in survivors that had been sacrificed at the end of the observation period.
