Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test substance via the intraperitoneal route was indicated to be 3.2 mmol/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Sixteen chelating agents were examined to determine their relative efficacy as antidotes in acute zinc acetate intoxication in mice after i.p. administration. The test substance was not effective at all. It was indicated in this paper that the ip LD50 of the test substance was 3.2 mmol/kg bw (no further details given).
