Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 010 - < 7 940 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
A female rabbit died at 7940mg/kg dose level on day 4.
Clinical signs:
other: Reduced appetite and activity and lethargy (three to five days in survivors), increasing weakness, collapse and death.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy there was slight lung congestion, liver discolouration, enlarged gall bladder and slight gastrointestinal inflammation. Surviving animals were sacrificed 14 days after dosing. The viscera appeared normal by macroscopic examination.
