Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
1 724 - 2 320
Mortality:
dose group 1580 mg/kg: male: 0 animals; female 1 animal (death occurred: 48 h)
dose group 1990 mg/kg: male: 2 animals; female 2 animals (death occurred: 10 days)
dose group 2510 mg/kg: male: 4 animals; female 5 animals (death occurred: 8 days)
Clinical signs:
other: The signs which appeared about 1 h after administration were ruffled fur, diarrhoea, sedation, ataxia, walking on tiptoe, bleeding from the nose, squatting, impairment of movement, tremor, hypothermia, and contraction of the eyes which were dark red. Ruff
Gross pathology:
On post mortem dissection, hyperemia of the gastrointestinal mucosa was found in 4 animals. The gastric mucosa was white in one animal, and the small intestine was very pale in another. In addition, some animals showed pale spots on the liver. The dissection after the end of the investigation showed a pale coloration of the intestinal mucosa, swelling of the gastrointestinal tract and adhesions of abdominal organs with the peritoneum and the diaphragm. In one animal the kidneys also had dark spots.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Observations:

Body weights: The animals were weighed before treatment and 1, 7 and 14 days after treatment.

Signs: The onset, type and duration of all signs of toxicity, and the time of death, were noted up to 6 hours after treatment, and then daily.

Autopsy: All the animals sacrificed at the end of the investigation for each dose were dissected and subjected to gross examination, and the findings were recorded.

Evaluation: The mean body weights were calculated. In general, the LD50 is determined by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon, and reported with 95 % confidence limits.

Executive summary:

From the acute oral toxicity study, a LD50 of 2000 mg/kg was obtained.
