2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: animals were observed for clinical signs 15 min, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h after administration of the test subsatnce and daily during the 14-day observation period. Individual body weights were determined on Day -1, immediately before administration on Day 0, and on Days 8 and 15.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
In a preliminary study, 2.5, 5 and 10% of the test substance in vehicle (corresponding to 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw) were administered to 2 males and 2 females per test group. No mortality was observed at any of the concentrations tested. Thus, a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw (10% test concentration) was chosen for the main study.
