Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
4 650 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: S.E. = 640 mg/kg bw
Clinical signs:
other: Decreased locomotor activity, piloerection, ataxia, ptosis. In the lowest dose group, slight systemic toxicity prevalently related to CNS effects (decreased locomotor activity) was observed. 4 days after treatment, the test animals appeared normal again.
Gross pathology:
