Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
1 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: LD 50 within 48h post application
Mortality:
Death occured usually within the first 12h from the time when the drug was administered.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A graph was plotted of the dose administered against number of animals which died and from this graph the dose which would kill 50% of the animals in a group was calculated

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The 48-hour LD50 value in this study on the acute toxicity of cyclohexanol to the mouse after intramuscular injection was 1000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of cyclohexanol to the mouse following intramuscular injection was studied under non-GLP, non-guideline conditions. The 48-hour LD50 value in this study was found to be 1000 mg/kg bw.
