Any other information on results incl. tables

Sublethal and lethal doses produced loss of muscle tonus, lethargic, prone position, accelerated respiration and later gasped respiration and lateral position. Lethal doses further caused narcosis, absence of reflexes and respiratory paralysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute toxicity by the subcutaneous route was low.
Executive summary:

After single subcutaneous administration of the test substance to rats the LD50 was 20170 mg/kg bw (Fischer et al., 1949).
