Guideline:
OECD Guideline 420 (Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method)
Deviations:

Principles of method if other than guideline:
One group of ten (5 male & 5 female) albino rats of the Sherman-Wistar Strain were employed in this study. Each animal was weighed and dosed by direct administration of bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine into the stomach by means of a syringe and dosing needle. Following 14 days observation period during which time the rats were observed for signs of toxicity and mortalities.
