Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category V
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 is approximately 2.27 ml/kg (2066 mg/kg).
Executive summary:

In this study, male and female rats were gavage with neodecanoic acid at concentrations of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, or 4 ml/kg. All animals that died during the study did so within 3 days of exposure. Signs of toxicity included lethargy, hypothermia, piloerection, dyspnea, and ataxia. Based on these results, it is concluded that the LD50 is approximately 2.27 ml/kg (2066 mg/kg).
