Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

In a study conducted according to OECD 401 and in compliance with GLP, single administration of diphenylsilanediol at doses up to 2000 mg/kg did not result in any mortality or significant effects, therefore the LD50 was stated to be > 2000 mg/kg

Executive summary:

Single oral administration of diphenylsilanediol to 5 male and 5 female rats at 2000 mg/kg was well tolerated and the LD₅₀ is considered to be > 2000 mg/kg.
