Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value of the test substance was found to be 2050 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was evaluated in rats. The test substance was administered at dose levels of 2050, 2560, 3200, 4000, and 5000 mg/kg body weight. Mortality and clinical observations were analyzed for 14 days after exposure. All deaths occurred between days 1 and 3. At 2050 and 2560 mg/kg bw, 1/2 animals died; 3/3 animals died at 3200 mg/kg bw; 2/2 animals died at 4000 mg/kg bw and 5/5 animals died at 5000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs included lethargy, ataxia, tearing, comatose and flaccid. The acute oral LD50 value of the test substance was determined to be 2050 mg/kg bw.
