Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
Remarks:
2%
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 50% (w/v)

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
The test substance was weighed into an Erienmeyer flask on a Mettler balance. It was suspended at 50 % with CMC (2%). Before treatment the suspension was homogeneously dispersed with an Ultra-Turrax and during treatment it was kept stable with a magnetic stirrer.
Doses:
6000 and 10000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: daily for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity; body weights were not determined
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; the animals were killed and autopsied after an observation period.
Statistics:
None conducted

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: No mortality was observed up to this dose level
Mortality:
No mortality occurred
Clinical signs:
other: Within 2 hours after treatment the rats of both dosage groups showed dyspnoea, exophthalmus, curved position and ruffled fur. These symptoms became more accentuated as the dose was increased. The animals had recovered within 3 to 6 days. They were killed
Gross pathology:
No substance related gross organ changes were seen
