Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 6 400 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
1 male of the highest dose group after 7 days
Clinical signs:
other: dyspnea
Gross pathology:
no pathological findings

Any other information on results incl. tables

Only one male animal of the highest dose group (6400 mg/kg) was found dead after 7 days. The only symptoms found were dyspnea right after the application of 6400 and 3200 mg/kg and crouch position in the morning of the second day in the 1600 mg/kg group. On all the other days the animals did not show any symptoms and also pathology of the dead and sacrificed animals was without relevant findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

LD50 > 6400 mg/kg bw after 7 days

Groups of rats were administered a preparation of the test substance in aqueous CMC and were observed for 7 days. The test substance was found to hydrolyse in water. Clinical signs of toxicity were limited to dyspnea. No pathological abnormalities were noted.
