Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
One animal with abraded skin died 13 days after dosing
Clinical signs:
Severe erythema and edema noted at 24 hours. By seven days treated sites were thick and escharotic.
Body weight:
Treated animals weighed significantly less than controls.
Average body weight during study
Control: 2.47 kg (start), 2.49 kg (day 7), 2.85 kg (day 14
Treated: 2.44 kg (start), 2.15 kg (day 7), 2.15 kg (day 14)
Note: Values are an average of 6 rabbits except for day 14 treated, which is the mean of 5 animals
Gross pathology:
Liver-like or necrotic-appearing areas of lung tissue observed in five rabbits. Further histology of the lungs revealed confluent bronchipnuemonia or chronic interstitial pneumonia. Two rabbits had small white liver abcesses that were determined to be of parasitic origin after histological examination.
