Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 2850 mg/kg bw (2252-3608 mg/kg) when male and female rats were treated with test chemical orally by gavage.
Executive summary:

Ina acute oral toxicity study, male and female rats were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 2510, 3160, 3980 or 5000 mg/kg orally by gavage and observed for 14 days. In preliminary studies, dose levels of 316, 1260 and 5000 mg/kg resulted in mortality in 0/2, 0/2 and 2/2 rats from low to high dose. In main study, all animals were died at 5000 mg/kg bw, 9 animals died at 3980 mg/kg bw, 6 animals died at 3160 mg/kg bw and 4 animals died at 2510 mg/kg. Sedation and tremors were observed in treated rats. No gross pathological alterations were observed in treated male and female rats at necropsy. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 2850 mg/kg bw (2252-3608 mg/kg) when male and female rats were treated with test chemical orally by gavage.
