Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
3 257.22 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
>= 3 159.83 - <= 3 357.6
Mortality:
2750 mg/kg: 20 %
3500 mg/kg: 60 %
3750 mg/kg: 80 %
Clinical signs:
At high doses, animals suffer from epileptiform crisis, followed by death.
For survivors, the substance has a sedative effect. They recover normal activity after 2 days without weight variation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 (orl, rat) is > 2.000 mg/kg: intermediate substance is not classified with regards to Acute toxicity via oral route according to CLP criteria.
