- Other examinations performed: Internal macroscopic abnormalities

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Since the 2000 mg/kg body weight limit test resulted in no adverse effects, or mortalities in the study group, no additional dose levels were required.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality reported.
Clinical signs:
other: General or focal erythema, scales and scabs on the back or flank were reported in one male and two females. By day 8 the females recovered from symptoms, however scabs persisted in the male at termination of study. Yellow staining of the skin by the test
Gross pathology:
No treatment related abnormalities were reported at the macroscopic level.
Pelvic dilation of the kidneys were found in one male, however this is a common occurrence among rats of this age and strain and was not considered toxicologically related.
