Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute toxicity of the test material was determined by administering test material to mice by intramuscular injection. Under the conditions of the study, the LD50 of the test material was determined to be 1000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Groups of 10 mice received intramuscular injections of test material at graded doses. Mortality was observed during the 48 hours following treatment to allow determination of an LD50 value. Under the conditions of the study, the LD50 of the test material was determined to be 1000 mg/kg body weight.
