Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
LD50 of ethisterone is > 2000 mg/kg, classification is not required
Executive summary:

The single oral administration of ethisterone (ZK 5957) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any compound-related clinical or macroscopical pathological signs. The acute oral toxicity of ethisterone in rats is > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
