Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
4 659 mg/kg bw
95% CL:
> 3 995 - < 5 433
Mortality:
3335 mg/kg dose; deaths 1/5 males, 1/5 females
4000 mg/kg dose; deaths 2/5 males, 1/5 females
4800 mg/kg dose; deaths 1/5 males, 4/5 females
5760 mg/kg dose; deaths 4/5 males; 4/5 females

Deaths occurred between 5 hours and 7 days after dosing.
Clinical signs:
other: During the first few hours after treatment, none of the rats showed any sign of intoxication. Later on, sluggishness, piloerection and coma were frequently observed.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination at autopsy of the rats that died after dosing with 9.6 ml/kg and 11.52 ml/kg revealed a food overfilled stomach and empty intestines. The liver and kidneys in these rats showed pale discolouration. Pale discolouration of the kidneys was also found in some rats of these dose groups that survived the observation period. At autopsy of the survivors of the 6.67 and 8 ml/kg dose group, no treatment-related gross alterations were seen, at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
An acute oral toxicity LD50 value of >4659 mg/kg bw was reported in a reliable study conducted according to the now-deleted OECD Test Guideline 401 and in compliance with GLP.
