Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
The first range finding study was conducted with dose levels of 50, 100, 250 mg/kg (at a 10% w:v concentration) and 500 and 1000 mg/kg (at a 25% w:v concentration) resulted in no mortality. The second range-finding was conducted at dose levels of 2500 and 5000 mg/kg at a 50% w:v concentration; one female died at each of these levels. These range-finding results were used to select the dosage levels for the definitive phase of the study.
