Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortalities were observed.
Clinical signs:
5/5 males showed flat or hunched posture starting 2 hours after dsoing until 1 day after dosing in 4/5 animals and 2 days after dosing in 1/5 males. Chromodacryorrhoea (Snout) was seen in 5/5 males starting 2 hours after dosing and was completely reversed in all males 2 days after dosing. 1/5 male animals showed diarrhoea 1 day post dosing. Additionally, 1/5 males and 1/5 females showed ptosis 4 h after dosing.
5/5 females showed flat posture 2 and 4 hours after dsoing, 4/5 females showed hunched posture thereafter, until 2 days post dosing. Chromodacryorrhoea (Snout) was seen starting 2 hours after dosing until 1 day after dosing in 5/5 females. 4/5 females showed general erythema starting 1-2 days after dosing at the treated skin site, erythema was visible until the third day post dosing in 3/5 females and 1/5 females still had erythema visible 5 days after dosing. Scales were visible on the treated skin site of 2/5 females. 1/5 showed scales only 5 days after dosing. For the other female scales were visible starting 4 days post dosing until the end of the observation period and additionally, scabs were seen from day 6 post dosing until the end of the observation period (see Table 2).
Body weight:
The changes noted in body weight gain in males and females were within the range expected for rats in this type of study.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
