Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.09 mL/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The available information suggested the starting dose.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed for death or overt signs of toxicity 0.5; 1; 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily; individual body weights were determined prior to dosing, on day 7 and day 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, histopathology
