Mortality:
No deaths were observed in animals of either sex.
Clinical signs:
other: Diarrhea occurred in three males and five female rats on the day of dosing, but this effect was probably induced by the corn oil used as the dosing vehicle. No other clinical abnormalities were observed.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were observed at necropsy.
