Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died in the course of the study. After single oral application of 2000 mg/kg slight apathy was observed in male animals during the first post observation day. All animals were without findings from day 2 onwards. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings..

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

A single oral administration of the test substance by gavage to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. At 2000 mg/kg slight apathy was observed in male animals during the first post observation day. According to OECD TG 423 the oral LD50 of ZK 62096 is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
