Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Conclusions:
Therefore, LD0 was considered to be 1600 mg/kg bw when deer (Peromyscus maniculatus) mice treated with 3-Acetylphenol orally by gavage.
Executive summary:

Ina a acute oral toxicity was evaluated in deer Peromyscus maniculatus) mice by using 3-Acetylphenol orally by gavage using water, corn oil, or 1.0% carbopol as carriers, followed by 3-days of observations for mortality. Approximate Lethal Dose was observed between 470-1600 mg/kg bw. ALD (Approximate Lethal Dose) represented a range-finding modification of the Deichman and LeBlanc (1943) and not the LD50 determination. Using this single animal per level method, each succeeding treatment was 50% higher than the preceding level and continued until mortality occurred and No 50 % mortality was observed in treated mice at 1600 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD0 was considered to be 1600 mg/kg bw when deer (Peromyscus maniculatus) mice treated with 3-Acetylphenol orally by gavage.
