Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 6 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
none
Clinical signs:
other: Within 2 hours after treatment the rats in all dosage groups showed sedation, dyspnoea, exophthalmus, curved position and ruffled fur. These symptoms became more accentuated as the dose was increased. All animals had recovered within 6 to 7 days.
Gross pathology:
No substance related gross organ changes were seen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the test substance in rats of both sexes observed for a period of 7 days is greater than 6000 mg/kg. The compound has therefore a slight acute toxicity to the rat by this route of administration.
