Executive summary:

5 female rats were fasted overnight night prior to receiving a single oral dose of test substance at 2,000 mg/kg bw. Feed was replaced approximately 3-4 hours after dosing. All animals survived and gained bodywieght. No signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behaviour were observed. Under the conditions of this study the test substance has an acute oral LD50 of > 2,000 mg/kg bw in female rats.
