.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5M, 5F
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were conducted daily throughout the study. The bodyweight of each animal was recorded on the day prior to treatment, the day of treatment, Day 8 and Day 15.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
There were no deaths.
Clinical signs:
other: There was no sign of reaction to treatment.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy findings were unremarkable. Fluid distension of the  uterus in one female was not considered treatment related as this is a  common finding among female CD rats.
Other findings:
None reported.
