Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2 mL/kg bw
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Up-and-Down Procedure: The first animal was dosed at an initial dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Since this animal survived, four additional females received the test substance at 2000 mg/kg bw.

- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed prior to dosing, approximately 30 min and 4 h post-dose as well as once daily on Days 2 to 15. Animals were weighed prior to dosing on Day 1 and on Day 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: Mortality/morbidity (once daily)
