Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
1 851 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Mortality was observed in animals but no detailed information are given.
Clinical signs:
other: Marked redness, moderate swelling, and marked necrosis of the skin were observed. At all doses, rabbits were lethargic. At doses of 630 and 1300 mg/kg, anorexia was observed, and at a dose of 1300 mg/kg, diarrhea was observed.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy at the end of a 2-week observation period, no treatment-related changes were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
