Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: clinical signs: slight piloerection confined to the first 4 hours after application
Mortality:
none
Clinical signs:
other: slight piloerection confined to the first 4 hours after treatment; no further observations
Gross pathology:
no effects

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
LD50 was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was evaluated in a GLP-compliant study on male and female Wistar rats. The oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was tolerated without mortalities, effects on weight gain or gross pathological findings. Clinical signs were confined to slight piloerection within the first 4 hours after treatment. The LD50 of the test item can therefore be determined with > 2000 mg/kg bw.
