Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 960, 800, 665 and 555 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle: 20 mL/kg bw

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg bw

Doses:
11100, 13300, 16000 and 19200 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: The animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality at frequent intervals during the day of dose administration and once daily thereafter. Cageside observation included changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomous and central nervous system, and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern.
- Frequency of weighing: Rats surviving the observation period were weighed and compared to control animals.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
Statistics:
The LD 50 value and attendant variation was determined from the results by the method given by Thompson-Weil.
