Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Single application of the test item to Wistar rats by gavage resulted in an LD50 of 8252 mg/kg bw. The test item has not to be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Executive summary:

Acute toxicity of the test item has been investigated in female SPF-Wistar rats (10 animals per dose group). The animals received 4000, 6300, 10000 or 15000 mg test item / kg bw by gavage (12.5% suspension in sesame oil). The post observation period was 7 days. The mortality was 0/10, 1/10, 9/10 and 10/10 in the 4000, 6300, 10000 or 15000 mg / kg bw dose group. The LD50 was calculated to be 8252 mg/kg bw. Animals which died showed imbalance, accelerated respiration, prone position and paralysis of the limbs. No pathologic findings were observed at necropsy.
