other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The LD50 value for methyl abietate was considered to be above 5000mg/kg bw. When rabbits treated with methyl abietate by dermal application.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity study of methyl abietate was performed in rabbits. No mortality was observed at dose 5000mg/kg bw Hence LD50 value for methyl abietate was considered to be above 5000mg/kg bw. When rabbits treated with methyl abietate by dermal application.
