Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
5 male and 5 female rats were treated oral (gavage) with 1000, 2000, and 3160 mg/kg bw of the test substance in olive oil (5 ml/kg bw).
Signs and symptoms were recorded several times on the day at least once each workday. Check for moribund and dead animals was performed twice each workday and once on holidays. Necropsy with gross-pathological examinations was performed at the end of the 14 day observation period. Necropsy of animals that died was performed as early as possible.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:

Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:

Effect level:
2 510 mg/kg bw
95% CL:
1 980 - 3 200
Mortality:
Dose group (mg/kg):
1000: no mortalities occured.
2000: no male animals died. 2/5 females died within 2-7 days after application. No further deaths until end of observation.
3160: 3/5 males died within 2-7 days after application. No further deaths until end of observation. 1 female died at the 2nd day after application. The remaining 4 females died within 2-7 days after application. No survivors in the female group after 7 days.
Clinical signs:
Dyspnea, Apathy, Aggressiveness, Staggering, Spastic Gait, Piloerrection, Diarrhea, Alopecia, Exsiccosis could be observed. Reversibility and further information see table 1.
Body weight:
There was a constant body weight gain.
Gross pathology:
Animals that died (male and female):
general congestion
grandular stomach: slight reddened area or bloody erosions.
Swall intestines: diarrhoeal contents, in few cases reddened mucosa.
Cecum: reddened, with liquid hemorrhagic contents.
Animals that were sacrificed at the end of the observation period (male + female): No pathologic findings noted.
