Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 in rats was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

In an oral acute toxicity study pre-dating GLP, five rats per sex were dosed with 5000 mg/kg of the test article in 0.5% CMC by gavage. Following a 14 day observation period all animals were sacrificed and a gross necropsy was performed. No mortality and no clinical signs were observed. No abnormalities were seen at terminal autopsy. As a result, the oral LD50 in rats was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
