Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity test was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats. Test item up to 3038 mg/kg bw was administered to two rats per sex and per dose, directly into the stomachs with a hypodermic syringe that had a ball-tipped intubation needle. The animals were observed for 14 days after exposure. The oral LD50 was determined to be 1179 (± 251.1) mg/kg bw in rats.
