Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Male and female mice of ddyS strain weighing 18-22g received various doses of dimethylacrylamide in aqueous solution through subcutaneous injection. The animals were observed frequently for any changes in gross appearance or behavior for 72 hr after the treatment. LD50 was calculated by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Following a slight increase in sensitivity to stimuli, gross general weakness was observed in the treated animals with disturbed gait and stance when walking. They lay down gradually on stomach with the eyes closed and were killed within 24 hr. Increased secretation from glans, diarrhea and tremor were not developed.
