Clinical signs:
Signs of toxicity related to dose levels:
Two females at 200mg/kg and four males and four females at
250 mg/kg died during the study. All deaths occurred within
three days of dosing.

A slight bodyweight loss was recorded for the majority of
decedents.


Piloerection was observed in all rats within six minutes of
dosing. This sign persisted and was accompanied later on Day
1 and / or at later intervals during the study by hunched
posture, unsteady gait, and lethargy in all rats at all
dosages.

Respiratory distress was seen in all females at 200mg/kg and
in two males and two females at 25mg/kg.

Other signs of toxicity included partially closed eyelids,
soft to liquid faeces, increased salivation, cold body
surfaces and brown staining around the nose or mouth in rats
at one or more dose levels.
Gross pathology:
Effects on organs:
Males and Females 250mg/kg


Congestion of the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys,
(characterised by dark appearance/prominent blood vessels
and inflammation), with congestion and atrophy of the
spleen. Congestion, fluid contents and gaseous distention
were noted in the stomach and along the alimentary tract
with fluid contents also observed in the urinary bladder.


Females 200mg/kg


Congestion of the subcutaneous tissue, brain, heart lungs
liver and kidneys were noted. Congestion, fluid contents and
gaseous distension of the stomach and along the alimentary
tract were noted and grey/black fluid contents also observed
in the urinary bladder.


No abnormalities were revealed at the macroscopic
examination of surviving animals on Day 15.
