- 8 mLl/kg bw: 1/5 (animal died on day 7 post-dosing)
- 4 mL/kg bw: 2/5 (animals died 20 min after dosing and on day 1); repeated for confirmatory purpose: deaths 2/5 on days 0 and 1
- 2 mL/kg bw: 2/5 (deaths occured 15 and 20 min after dosing)
- 1 ml/kg bw: 1/5 (animal died 30 min after dosing)
- 0.5 mL/kg bw: 0/5
Clinical signs:
other: - 16 mL/kg bw: Sluggish (survivers) at 35 min; salivation - 8 mL/kg bw: Diarrhoea at day 1 - 4 mL/kg bw: Salivation; repeated for confirmatory purpose: Unsteady gait; salivation 5 min after dosing; survivors recovered after 1 day. - 2 mL/kg bw: Unsteady g
Gross pathology:
In victims, the stomach was gas-filled, the glandular portions were injected, and the intestines were injected or contained blood.
In survivors, nothing remarkable was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test item was tested for acute oral toxicity according to a test protocol that is comparable to the appropriate OECD 401 test guideline, but without GLP compliance. The test material was administered by stomach intubation to 5 male rats each dose group. The LD50 was determined to be 12825 mg/kg bw. The predominant clinical signs detected were salivation, unsteady gait, sluggishness, and diarrhoea. No deaths and no clinical signs throughout the study period were observed at 425 mg/kg bw. Based on this data, classification for acute oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 is not warranted.
