Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: unspecified
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
Using all available information on the toxicity of the test material, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
dose level: 0, 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg
concentration: 10 ml/kg
Doses:
Single dose: 2g/kgBW at a dose level of 20ml/kgBW
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 females/males per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
All animals were observed frequently on day of dosing and daily thereafter for at least 13 days after treatment for a total of 14 days. Day of treatment = day 0.
Daily observations included signs of toxicity in addition to lethality.
Animals weighed on day 0, day 7 and day 13.
