Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In an acute intravenous toxicity study in New Zealand White rabbits, the animals in groups of six each were given single i.v. injections of the test substance. The following doses were injected: 6.9, 15.4, 36.9, 75.9 and 358.0 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred in the first four groups; two of the six rabbits received the highest dose died within 24 hours of injection. Therefore the LD50 for i.v. injection was >358.0 mg/kg bw.
