Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 3 160 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
All 4 rabbits survived the 14 day test period at the 3160 mg/kg dose level.
Clinical signs:
other: Clinical observation included slight to marked anorexia, and slight to moderate depression in all four rabbits. At termination, all 4 rabbits appeared normal.
Gross pathology:
Gross pathology finding noted in teh animals sacrificed on day 14 included dark red lungs in 3 rabbits and white, raised areas on all lobes of the lungs in the 4th rabbit.
Other findings:
Slight to well-defined erythema was noted in two rabbits at 24 hours. Very slight erythema was noted in these two rabbits at day 3. The remaining two rabbits exhibited very slight erythema at 24 hours. Erythema in these rabbits reversed itself by day 3. No edema was noted in any of the rabbits treated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LD50 > 3,160 mg/kg bw/day.
