Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
other: Tif:MAG (SPF)
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
4-5 week old mice, the mice were kept in groups of 2, in Macrolon cages type 2, with standarized soft wood bedding.
The animal room was air conditioned at 22 +/-3 °C, a relative humidity of 55 +/- 15%, a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and approximately 15 air changes per hour. Mouse standard food and water was supplied ad libitum.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Details on oral exposure:
-rior to dosing the animals were fasted over night.
Doses:
males and females were exposed to 5000 mg/kg body weight (single application)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Observation for mortality was on every day, mortality was checked daily, and body weight was determined on days 1, 7, 14, and at death
Statistics:
LD50 calculated including 95% confidence limits by the logit method (J. Berkson, J. Am. Stat. Ass. 39, 357 - 365 (1944)

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
1/5 male mice died after 24 hours, no female mouse died at all (0/5)
