Results and discussion

Additional information on results:

Doses producing toxicity:
In animals dosed with the test material premature deaths
occurred at or above 100mg/kg.

Clinical signs observed at and above 100mg/kg were as
follows: convulsions leading to death, tremors, hunched
posture and quick breathing. Clinical signs observed at and
above 50 mg/kg were as follows: hunched posture, tremors and
quick breathing up to 3 days post dosing. Incidences of
lethargy and rough coat were also noted.

The test material showed no marked difference in its
toxicity to male or female rats, both sexes were used in the
main test.

Adequate evidence of test material toxicity was demonstrated
by the intraperitoneal route; the maximum tolerated dose of
the test material was 75 mg/kg.

Observations:
Animals treated with 75 mg/kg of the test substance
displayed quick breathing and tremors. This was taken to
confirm that systemic absorption had occurred and exposure
to the bone marrow achieved.

The test material did not cause a significant increase in
the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes
of the mice treated in the study compared to concurrent
controls.
