Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
There were no mortalities following a single oral dose of the test substance at 5.0 mg/kg bodyweight.
Clinical signs:
other: Pilo-erection was seen shortly after dosing in all rats. This had resolved by Day 3. No other signs of reaction to treatment were observed.
