Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 12 800 mg/kg bw
- Based on:

- Mortality:
- All the animals survived the 14-day observation period.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Most of the test animals exhibited sluggishness and/or slept for up to one hour following the application of the substance .Thereafter, no further changes were noted in the general condition and behavior of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, LD50 after 1, 7 and 14 days of observation was in excess of 12,800 mg/kg in rats by orally.
- Executive summary:
Total 40 Wistar rats were exposed test article by orally at dose levels of 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800 mg/kg to assess the potential of acute toxicity. All the animals survived the 14-day observation period. There were no abnormal observations in the body weight during the test. Most of the test animals exhibited sluggishness and/or slept for up to one hour following the application of the substance .And no further changes were noted in the general condition and behavior of the animals.One animal presented atelectasis of one of the lung lobes. All the other animals were unremarkable.
Based on the results, it can be concluded that LD50 of test article was greater than 12800 mg/kg after 1, 7 and 14 days of observation.
