not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 d
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The onset, type and duration of all symptoms of poisoning, and the time of death, were noted up to 6 h after treatment, and then daily.The animals were weighed before treatment and 1, 7 and 14 d after treatment.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs, body weight

Statistics:

LD50 was determined by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon, and reported with 95% confidence limits.

On dissection postmortem, reddened mucosa of the stomach and small intestine were found, together with, in some animals, marked paleness of the small intestinal mucosa, and discoloration (sometimes mottled) of the liver, spleen and lung.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to rats according to OECD Guideline 401. The test substance was administered at the following doses: 1,580, 1,990, 2,510 and 3,160 mg/kg bw. The substance was administered by gavage to fasted animals. The administration volume was 1.6-3.3 mL/kg. The observation period following treatment lasted for 14 d. The onset, type and duration of all symptoms of poisoning, and the time of death, were noted up to 6 h after treatment, and then daily. The animals were weighed before treatment and 1, 7 and 14 d after treatment. All the animals sacrificed at the end of the investigation for each dose were dissected and subjected to gross examination, and the findings were recorded. All the treated animals showed symptoms of toxicity. The symptoms which appeared about 30 min after administration were ruffled fur, ataxia, prone position, squatting and sedation, together with loss of appetite and reduced body temperature. In the animal at the highest dose which survived the treatment, the symptoms had not completely disappeared at the end of the investigation. No mortality was observed in animals dosed at 1,580 and 1,990 mg/kg bw, while the next two groups dosed at 2,510 and 3,160 mg/kg bw had 50% and 90% mortality respectively. At the two highest doses, the treatment showed a retarding or inhibiting effect on the increase in body weight. On dissection post-mortem, reddened mucosa of the stomach and small intestine were found, together with, in some animals, marked paleness of the small intestinal mucosa, and discoloration (sometimes mottled) of the liver, spleen and lung. In the animals which survived the treatment, some of the animals showed mottling of the lungs and reddening of the small intestinal mucosa after the end of the observation period. Based on the results of the study, the oral LD50 of the test substance was 2,600 mg/kg bw (Murmann P, 1983a).
