Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
300 - 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
In the sighting study the one female animal dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw was killed for humane reason one day after dosing, since the occurrence of clinical signs of toxicity exceeded the severity limit. No other animal at 300 mg/kg bw died or was killed due to humane reasons.
Clinical signs:
other: Clinical signs included hunched posture, lethargy, pilo-erection, ptosis and laboured respiration, blood stained urine was also noted. There were no signs of systemic toxicity in the one animal treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg.
Gross pathology:
Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg were pale liver, dark spleen, dark kidneys, gaseous distension of the stomach, haemorrhage and pallor of the gastric mucosa and red coloured fluid filled bladder. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg.
