Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Five male rats were selected from available stock. On the day of dosing the appropriate dose volume was administered by gavage at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg, giving a dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw.
Animals were observed for signs of toxicity and other abnormalities at time of dosing, app. 1, 2 and 4 hr after dosing and daily thereafter for the fourteen day duration of the study.
Animal were subjected to a gross examination for abnormalities both eternal and of the thoracic cavity and abdominal viscera. Larger organs were sectioned and the gastro-intestinal tract was opened at intervals for examination of the mucosal surfaces.
GLP compliance:
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
