Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Principle of test:
Single oral dose toxicity is estimated by the gastric intubation of groups of five non-fasted Carworth-Wistar rats, weighing 90 to 120 grams and maintained from time of weaning on Rockland rat diet, complete. The most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range were estimated by the method of Thompson.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The mean lethal dose of the test substance after single oral administration was found to be 400 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

The test article was administered to a group of 5 non-fasted Carworth-Wistar rats by intubation of dosages in a logartithmic series. After 14 days of observation the single dose oral toxicity was calculated to be 400 mg/kg bw.
