Any other information on results incl. tables

In an acute oral toxicity study according to an internal BASF method (BASF, 1980), Sprague Dawley rats were given a single oral dose of the test substance diluted in water at 681, 1000, 1470 or 2150 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and for clinical symptoms of toxicity for 14 days. All animals were subjected to necropsy. As clinical signs dyspnea, gasping, apathy, anomalous position, staggering, spastic gait, piloerection, cyanosis, ecsiccosis, and poor general state were noticed at the highest dose level. The oral LD50 was estimated as 984 mg/kg bw. This acute oral study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute oral study according to OECD 401 in principle.
