Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
no compound related mortality observed
Clinical signs:
other: All animals showed reduced spontaneous activity throughout the contact period. Activity rose immediately after removal of dressing. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed throughout the observation period.
Gross pathology:
No test compound related macroscopic necropsy findings were recorded.
Other findings:
Necropsy revealed an acute injection of blood vessels in all animals in the abdominal region. This finding was subjected to be due to euthanasia with an overdose of pentobarbital injected intraperitoneally.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

The application of the test item in a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw caused no compound related mortalities.
