Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 6160 mg/kg bw (95% confidence limits: 4400-8630 mg/kg bw), when group of 10 male and female Osborne-Mendel rats were treated with the given test chemical orally via gavage.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was performed in group of 10 male and female Osborne-Mendel rats using test chemical. Death time was observed from 4 hours to 9 days. Clinical signs like Depression, scrawny appearance, porphyrin-like deposit around eyes and nose for a week after treatment were observed. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 6160 mg/kg bw (95% confidence limits:4400-8630 mg/kg bw), when groups of 10 male and female Osborne-Mendel rats were treated with the given test chemical orally via gavage.
