Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died in the course of the study. A single oral (gavage) application of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without compound-related clinical findings. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

A single oral administration of the test substance by gavage to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, clinical signs, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. According to OECD TG 423 the oral LD50 of ZK 28519 is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
