Conclusions:

Executive summary:

In an oral toxicity study five groups of ten albino rats of the Sherman Wistar strain were treated with the test substance to assess its acute oral toxicity. The animals were starved for a period of twenty-four hours prior to dosing and then treated by oral gavage at dose levels of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 g/kg. One animal treated with 16000 mg/kg died during the course of the study, no other mortalities were reported. The LD50 of the test article was therefore set at 16000 mg/kg.
