Additional information

The key study for acute oral toxicity, which was conducted according to OECD TG 420 and in compliance with GLP, reports an LD50 value of >2000 mg/kg bw (Hameln, 2015). One out of four animals died, and there were signs of toxicity including lacrimation, reduced activity, lethargy and mild spasm in hind legs. All animals appeared normal within 48 hours. No macroscopic findings were noted at necropsy.
