Abstract Acute oral LD50's and standard errors were 119.0 +/- 4.6, 118.7 +/- 4.5, and 118.1 +/- 2.8 mg/kg in male, female and combined sexes of rats. The corresponding mouse LD50's were 97.2 +/- 8.7, 58.9 +/- 26.8, and 80.3 +/- 9.6 mg/kg, respectively. There were no statistically significant sex differences in either species. Toxic signs, including gasping, labored breathing and convulsions, indicated neurotoxicity.
