Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The single oral administration of the test substance (ZK 92136) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any mortality or compound-related clinical or macroscopic pathological signs. The acute oral toxicity of Dipivalat in rats is therefore above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
