Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
387.3 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: LD50 derivation according to the method of Miller and Tainter; range > 385 < 390 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
390 mg/kg bw: 1/5 animals died
385 mg/kg bw: 3/5 animals died
390 mg/kg bw: 2/5 animals died
395 mg/kg bw: 4/5 animals died
400 mg/kg bw: 3/5 animals died
Clinical signs:
Symptoms of toxicity, such as restlessness, labored respiration, vasodilatation, cynosis, muscular twitching, clonic convulsions and death by respiratory paralysis occurred. In addition, visual signs of anoxia, gradually deepening bluish coloration of the ears and all other body areas where the fur was thin enough to permit direct observation, was observed.
Gross pathology:
In all animals cardiac arrhythmias were seen after opening the thoracic cage.
