Remarks:
PEG 400
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg
Doses:
500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Statistics:
From the mortality data recorded the LD50 value and its 95% confidence limits were calculated by the method of Litchfield, J.T and Wilcoxon, F. W., 1949, 3. Pharmac. Exp. Ther., 96, 99.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
In order to determine approximate dose levels for the main study, a range-finding study was carried out using groups of two rats (1 of each sex). The results obtained suggested that the LD50 would be approximately 2000mg/kg.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
2 100 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
> 1 787 - < 2 468
Mortality:
yes, see table below
Clinical signs:
other: Lethargy was observed starting at the lowest dose levels. In addition, lacrimation (at 1500 and 2000 mg/kg) and piloerection (at 2000 mg/kg) was observed in some animals.
Gross pathology:
No Abnormalities detected
