- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- ca. 681 mg/kg bw

- 6 out of 10 animals died exposed to 681 mg/kg within 1 day (3 male and 3 female rats)
- 9 out of 10 animals died exposed to 1000 mg/kg within 1 day (5 male and 4 female rats) - Clinical signs:
- other: - Dyspnea, agitation, rough fur and a poor general state were observed in animals exposed to 215 mg/kg. - Dyspnea, apathy, agitation, staggering, spastic gait, rough fur, exsiccosis, salivation and a poor general state observed in animals exposed to 316 m
- Gross pathology:
- - Animals that died: acute hyperaemia of the heart, multiple spots in the lungs which were almost always observed in combination with blood and partial emphysema
- Sacrified animals: no abnormalities observed
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- harmful
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test, the LD50 was determined to be ca. 681 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
Five Sprague-Dawley rats per sex per dose were exposed in a study similar to OECD 401 to 215, 316, 464, 681 or 1000 mg/kg bw of the test substance, dissolved in 0.5% aqueous carboxymetyl cellulose solution, via oral gavage. After an observation period of 14 days the surviving animals were necropsied. Several clinical signs were observed such as dyspnea, apathy, agitation, lying in an abnormal position, staggering, atony, trembling, twitching, rough fur, exsiccosis, salivation, blood in saliva, difficulty breathing, and a poor general state. Acute hyperemia of the heart and lung effects were observed in animals that died. No abnormalities were detect in sacrificed animals. The LD50 was determined to be ca. 681 mg/kg bw.
