Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/mL
- Amount of vehicle: 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was chosen because of its non-toxic characteristics

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: According to OECD Guideline 423, Annex 2d, a cut-off value of >5000 mg/kg bw was derived based on a limit test with 2000 mg/kg bw, since no mortality occurred in any step.
Mortality:
No mortality was observed.
Clinical signs:
other: No signs of systemic toxicity were observed throughout the whole study period in any animal.
Body weight:
other body weight observations
Remarks:
None of the animals showed weight loss during the observation period.
Gross pathology:
No specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any animal.
