Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
2 September - 9 October 1985
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Initial Screening was carried out in six groups, each of two males and two females rats and mice in order to find the general level of acute toxicity of the test material. After these preliminary observation, test material was administered by gavage of rats in single dose of 1680, 2100, 2630, 3260, 4110 mg per kg body weight and the stomach of mice in single dose of 1400, 1700, 2100, 2600, 3300, 4100, 5200 mg per kg body weight. For each dose five males and five females were used. After treatment, the rats and mice were odserved for signs of intoxication during the first 4 post-treatment hours and thereafter daily throughout a 14 day observation period. Individual body weights were determined on day 0, 7 and 14. At the end of the observation period the survivors were killed and ewamined grossly. The LD50 was calculated according to the method of Litchfield-Wilcoxon.
