Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Ca-Acetylacetonate was investigated in 2 groups of Wistar rats, each containing 5 males and 5 females. On the basis of the range finding results, the animals were given a single oral administration at doses of 1000 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg. Clinical observations were conducted at regular intervals during the 14 -day observation period. Body weights were measured 0, 7 and 14 days p.a. Gross pathological examinations were performed immediatly on animals found dead or killed in extremis and at termination on surviving animals.

None of the animals died at 1000 mg/kg bw. All males died at 1500 mg/kg bw and 3 females died at 1500 mg/kg bw. Severe abonormal clinical intoxication signs were observed up to 24h p.a. The most frequent findings were reduced activity, abnormal body posture, decreased body and abdominal tone, impaired respiration, tremor, tonic and clonic convulsions. Weight gains were normal in all surviving animals. Surviving animals showed no abnormalities at necropsy. Animals found dead showed; redness and swelling of the gastric mucous membrane, congestion in liver and lung, urinary retention, dicoloration of the renal pelvis and spleen.

The LD50 for males is 1250 mg/kg and for females is 1417 mg/kg .
