EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE - (Continued)
C) Skin Absorption KLD (Rabbits, Mixed Sex) The undiluted compound was applied in increasing doses at increments of 0*2 fractional log intervals to the closely clipped, intact skin of New Zealand white male and female rabbits* The treated areas were oovered with plastic strips and the animals placed in wooden stocks for periods up to twenty-four hours, after which time they were assigned to individual cages* Observations were made for toxic symptoms and the viscera of the animals that succumbed were examined macroscopically* The data are shown in Table III*
D) Skin Irritation (Rabbits, Mixed Sex) The undiluted compound was applied to the clipped, intact skin of male and female albino rabbits and removed after twenty-four hours* The application was covered with plastic strips to retard evaporation and avoid contamination* Observations were made over a period of several days for irritation. The data, scored according to the method of Drai&e, Woodard and Calvery (Journal of Pharm* and Exp* Therapeutics, Volume 82, December, 1944) are shown in Table IV.
E) Eye Irritation (Rabbits, Mixed Sex) 0*1 Milliliter of undiluted sample was placed in the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three albino rabbits and observations made over a period of several days for inflammation* The eyes were rinsed with warm isotonic saline solution after twenty-four hours* The data, scored according to the method of Draize, et al, are shown in Table V*
F) Vapor Inhalation (Male Rats) Four mature male rats were placed in a metal chamber of 33 liters capacity and exposed for six hours to a concentrated atmosphere of vapors produced by passing a stream of air through 100 milliliters of the compound contained in a 300 milliliter Erlenmeyer flask* Vapors from the flask passed into a one liter bottle to remove droplets and then into the chamber* Air flow through the sample was five liters per minute as measured by a cali brated rotameter* This was sufficient to violently agitate the liquid* No supplementary air was introduced inasmuch as the above supply see ample`for the animals oxygen requirements* The animals were observed for behavior and, since there were no deaths, all were held for ten days observation* The data are shorn in Table VI*

SUMMARY MCS 395
A) Oral LD50 (Rats, Mixed Sex)
The Oral LD50 for male and female rats was placed at 4615 milligrams per kilogram with lower and upper limits of 4O&0 to 526o milligrams per kilogram*
The compound was classed as slightly toxic by oral ingestion in male and female rate.
B) Oral MLD (Rabbits, Mixed Sex)
The Minimum Lethal Oral Dose for male and female rabbits was found to be greater than 1580 milligrams per kilogram and less than 2510 milligrams per kilogram.
The compound was classed as slightly toxic by oral Ingestion in male and female rabbits.
C) Skin Absorption MLD (Rabbits, Mixed Sex)
The Minimum Lethal Dose by skin absorption in male and female rabbits was found to be greater than 2510 milligrams per kilogram and less than 3980 milligrams per kilogram*
The compound was classed as slightly toxic by skin absorption in male and female rabbits.
D) Skin Irritation (Rabbits, Mixed Sex)
The compound was classed as non-irritating when applied undiluted to the intact Bkin of male and female rabbits.
E) Eye Irritation (Rabbits, Mixed Sex) The compound was classed as a slight eye irritant in male and female rabbits. The average maximum score was 6*3 out of a possible 110 in one hour.
F) Vapor Inhalation (Male Rats)
All animals survived the six hour exposure as well as the following ten day observation period.
It was concluded that the vapors were practically non-toxic under conditions
of the test.

DISCUSSION The Oral LD50 for male and female nits was placed at 4615 milligrams per kilogram with lower and upper limits of 4o6o to $26o milligrams per kilogram. The compound was classed as slightly toxic by oral ingestion in male and female rata.
survival time was several hours to three days with most deaths occurring overnight. Toxic symptoms included severe diarrhea, increasing weakness, tremors, and collapse* At autopsy there was inflammation of the gastric mucosa and renal hyperemia macroscoplcally
