Transient clinical signs (apathy) immediately after administration.

All animals were without compound-related clinical signs from Day 2 onwards.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

No acute toxicity studies were conducted with ZK 5624 (gestonorone acetate). Results of studies conducted with a different ester of gestonorone (gestonorone caproate, ZK 5623) are regarded as representative as most likely ester cleavage occurs in vivo after administration.

The single intraperitoneal administration of a microcristalline suspension of ZK 5623 (gestonorone caproate) to male mice at a dose of 4000 mg/kg caused transient clinical signs (apathy) immediately after administration. All animals were without compound-related clinical signs from Day 2 onwards. No compound-related macroscopic pathological signs were observed. The acute i.p. toxicity of ZK 5623 in male mice is above 4000 mg/kg body weight.
