Signs of intoxication:
A narcotic-like behaviour was noted. All animals showed disorders of balance, lethargic behaviour and prone position. Animals died within 1-2 days post application in narcosis.
Survivors returned to weakness and showed piloerection, easily frightened, increased lacrimation and bad general condition.
Gross pathological examination:
The macroscopic examination of surviving animals gave no adverse effects. Animals that died before study determination showed grey-red discoloured lungs, brightened liver with increased pattern, adrenal glands were of dark brown colour, small intestine looked glassy and was partially filled with blood.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the experimental data an oral LD50 of 3350 and 2270 mg/kg bw was calculated for males and females, respectively.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP OECD guideline study (TG 401) acute toxicity of the test item was investigated (n= 5 males and females per dose group). Rats received single oral doses of the test item in sesame oil by gavage and were observed for 14 days thereafter. Clinical signs were a narcotic like behaviour, disorders of balance, lethargic behaviour and prone position. Animals died within 1 -2 days post application in narcosis. Survivors returned to weakness and showed piloerection, easily frightened, increased lacrimation and bad general condition. Based on the experimental data an oral LD50 of 3350 and 2270 mg/kg bw was calculated for males and females, respectively.
