Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 65 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was performed in rats using the given test chemical at the dose concentration of 65 mg/kg bw.

Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at dose 65 mg/kg bw.

Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 65 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical orally.
