Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be 1100 mg/kg bw, when male rats were treated with test chemical orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was performed using test chemical in male rats at the dose concentration of 1100 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed at dose 1100 mg/kg bw. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1100 mg/kg bw, when male rats were treated with test chemical orally.
