Based on:

Mortality:
Mortality occurred within 2 hours from administration.
Clinical signs:
Symptoms, as reduction of general conditions, sedation and diarrhoea, were evident starting from 10 minutes up to 3 days after administration.
Gross pathology:
Stomach and intestines of dead animals dosed from 2000 to 5000 mg/kg bw could not be evaluated due to discoloration.
The other organs at dosages 1000-3100 mg / kg showed no compound-related changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Category 4 based on CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Acute oral exposure of rats to the substance lead to LD50 = 2400 mg/kg bw, equivalent to ca. 1600 mg/kg bw as active ingredient. Higher toxicity in female than in male rats was noted.
Executive summary:

Method

Acute oral toxicity by gavage in both male and female rats with a 14-day observation period.

Results

LD50 of 2400 mg/kg for both male and female rats, equivalent to ca. 1600 mg/kg bw of active ingredient for the given purity of test material. Female rats showed higher sensitivity than males to the substance. Mortality occurred within 2 hours from administration. At necropsy, stomach and intestines of dead animals dosed from 2000 to 5000 mg/kg bw could not be evaluated due to discoloration; the other organs at dosages 1000 - 3100 mg / kg bw showed no compound-related effects.
