Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
For the substance the LD0 was determined as 2000 mg/kg bw and the LD50>2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity testing of the substance in the Wistar rat yielded a median lethal dose above 2000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals.

The prepared test substance was administered by gavage to fasted animals at the stated dosage. The observation period following treatment lasted for 14 days. Symptoms were recorded twice every day (in the morning and in the afternoon), on weekends and holidays only once. During this time the animals were weighed weekly. At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, dissected and examined for macroscopically visible changes.

No lethality after application of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Only stilted gait and squatting posture were observed after application in males and females. All clinical signs of intoxication were reversible on day three of the study and thereafter.

Development of body weight was not impaired.

The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.
