Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute oral test, conducted comparable to OECD 401, the LD50 of RS-Pantolactone was determined to be 9700 ± 1600 mg/kg bw for the rat 10 d after application.
Executive summary:

RS-Pantolactone (named DL-Lacton in the report) was tested for its acute oral toxicity comparable to OECD 401.

Rats were observed for 10 days after apllication.

The LD50 of the test item was determined to be 9700 ± 1600 mg/kg bw for the rat 24 and 10 d after application.
