TEST ANIMALS
- Source: CIBA-GEIGY LTD. Tiertarm, 4334 Sisseln, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: 7-8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 170-221 g
- Fasting period before study: overnight prior to dosing
- Housing: 5 animals per Macrolon cage type 3 with standardized soft wood bedding (Societe Parisienne dessciures, Pantin)
- Diet: Rat food, NAFAG No. 890, NAFAG AG, Gossau, SG (Switzerland) ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22±3
- Humidity (%): 55±15
- Air changes (per hr): approximately 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observation: Mortality: daily, a.m. and p.m. on working days. Clinical signs: daily. Body weight: on days 1, 7, 14, and at death
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs: sedation, dyspnea, exophtalmus, ruffled fur, and curved body position; body weight
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
Where feasable, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944)
