- Weight at study initiation: 167.2 - 226.1 g (males) and 120.7 - 143.2 g (females)
- Fasting period before study: Yes, animals were fasted overnight.
- Housing: 2 or 3 animals per cage were housed in animal care facilities.
- Diet: Purina Certified Rodent Chow #5002 (supplied by Purina Mills Inc., USA), ad libitum
- Water: Tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: At least 1 week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 40 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 17 Feb 1994 To: 29 Jul 1994

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:

Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 10 and 50%, respectively

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test substance was administered as a 10 or 50% suspension in 0.5% methocel.
Doses:
100, 500, 1000 and 5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for clinical signs 30 min, 1, 4, 5 and 6 h post-dosing and thereafter at least once each working day throughout the 14-days observation period. The body weight was recorded 1 day before treatment, and thereafter on day 1, 2, 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes, all rats submitted alive to necropsy were anesthetized by inhalation of methoxyflurane vapors and euthanized by decapitation and clamping of trachea.

Mortality:
5000 mg/kg bw: 5/5 males and 5/5 females died on day 1.
1000 mg/kg bw: 1/5 males and 1/5 females died on day 2. 2/5 males and 3/5 females died on day 5.
500 mg/kg bw: 1/3 males died on day 3 and 2/5 females died on day 5.
Clinical signs:
other: In-life observations noted were lacrimation, salivation, chromorhinorrhea, labored respiration, decreased activity, lateral recumbency, incoordination, decreased muscle tone, mouth breathing and urine and fecal soiling in the perineal area. Clinical signs
Gross pathology:
The rats that died during the 2-week post-exposure observation period had treatment-related gross pathologic observations consisting of one or more of the following: hemolyzed blood in the digestive tract, perineal soiling, general visceral congestion, decreased amount of fat, pale liver, congested lungs, bloody urine and congestion, erosions and/ or ulcers, hemorrhage, or hyperemia of the stomach. The gross observations of the stomach and digestive tract were consistent with stress-induced alterations. The remaining observations in the animas that died were non-specific signs of toxicity.
There were no treatment-related gross pathologic observations in any of the surviving rats.
