Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Well described, no GLP and no international guideline followed. Read across from a similar substance which has the same main component and with a different counter ion that doesn't influence the characteristics related to the specific end-point

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 1.2 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
> 1.1 - < 1.4
Remarks on result:
other: Estimated at 100 %: LD50 = ca 674 mg/Kg bw
Mortality:
All animals are dead by a dose of 5 ml/kg bw. The deaths were within the first 6 days after the application registered.
Clinical signs:
other: Dose levels between 0.8 to 2.0 ml/kg: in all the animals worsening health and bristling. At doses ≥ 1.3 ml/kg:: manifest signs of relaxation and abdominal numbness. At doses ≥ 0.8 ml / kg: growth retardation. The symptoms occurred about 1 to 2 hours afte
