Description of key information

A single oral dose of 2 g/kg (2000 mg/kg), formulated in corn oil, was administered to a group of five male and five female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. All animals of each sex survived until the time of terminal sacrifice on Day 15. No clinical signs of toxicity were noted in any animal and no abnormal findings were noted at necropsy. Based on the results of this study, the test material is not toxic to male and female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.
