Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
LD50 = 4320 (females) - 5270 (males)
Executive summary:

The test substance was administered to groups of fasted male and female SD rats (n = 5/sex) at dose levels of 3200 – 7810 mg/kg bw followed by a 14 day observation period.

Variable mortality was present at treatment levels of 4000 mg/kg bw and above, with complete mortality in the high dose group. The main clinical signs were hypoactivity, ataxia, prostration, diarrhoea, hair loss and eye opacity but no lesions were visible at scheduled necropsy in survivors. 

The acute oral LD50 was 4320 mg/kg bw in females and 5270 mg/kg bw in males.
