Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

< 5 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: 3/5 males and 4/5 females died following a limit dose of 5000 mg/kg.

Mortality:

Three males and three females found dead on day 0 and a further female found dead on day 2.

Clinical signs:

other: Majority of abnormal clinical signs were seen in first 6 hours after dosing and included hypoactivity, hypothermia, red anal discharge, wet/dry rales and various ocular and oral discharges. The two surviving males displayed no abnormalities from day 3 onw

Gross pathology:

In decedents, abnormal contents, vascularisation and reddened mucosa of the stomach and small and large intestines, plus staining of the fur was present. No abnormalities were seen in the two surviving males. The following were seen in the surviving female: a hole in the diaphragm, emaciation, uterine distension and alopecia.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: unable to classify, dose used higher than LD 50

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 to male and female was less than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

The acute oral LD50 to male and female was less than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
