- All animals were subject to gross pathological examination at the end of the study - Statistics:
- Data evaluations included the relationship, if any, between the exposure of the animal to the test material and the incidence and severity of all abnormalities including behavioral and clinical observations, gross lesions, bodyweight changes, mortality and any other toxicological effects. Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose of the test material was made.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified in accordance with EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral median lethal dose of the test material was estimated as being greater than 2500 mg/kg bodyweight.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the rat following OECD Guideline 423. Groups of three females were dosed with 300 mg/kg bw and 2000 mg/kg bw (two groups).
No deaths were observed. Clinical observations were only seen in animals in the 2000 mg/kg bw group but animals appeared normal after one or two days. All animals gained bodyweight over the test peirod and the non-glandular region of the stomach appeared thickened at necroscopy of three animals treated with 2000 mg/kg.
The LD50 of the test material was estimated to be >2500 mg/kg bw.
