Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF-Test: The study was conducted according to an internal BASF method which in principle is comparable to the OECD Guideline 401. A test group consisting of 10 animals/sex was treated by single gavage application with an aqueous solution of the test substance. The animals were observed for mortality and for clinical symptoms of toxicity. At the end of the observation period, the surviving animals were sacrificed for the purpose of necropsy; animals that died during the observations period also were subjected to necropsy.


GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
GLP was not compulsory at the time the study was conducted

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 1 320 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: conversation in mg/kg bw based on the density: d=0.885 g/cm3
Mortality:
1416 mg/kg bw: 4 males and 9 females died within the first 24 hours; by 48 h one additional male died;
708 mg/kg bw: 1 male died on the 3rd day after application.
Clinical signs:
other: 708 mg/kg: immediately after application apathy and dyspnea; by the next day the animals were mostly without symptoms; 1106 mg/kg: immediately after application apathy and dyspnea; on the next day dyspnea and unkempt fur; 1416 mg/kg: immediately after
Gross pathology:
Hemorrhage into the gastro-intestinal tract was observed in the animals that died.
The animals that survivied to the end had no unusual findings except for chronic bronchitis in 2 animals of the 708 mg/kg bw dose group.
