Animals received various dosages before death or sacrifice ensued.
dosage ranged from 3.8 ml/kg to 14.5 ml/kg*
Cumulative
Tissues were taken from the rats that died or that were killed for histopathologlcal examination. The pathologist reported lesions related to gastritis, enteritis and esophagitis with some being sufficiently severe to become perforating ulcers. Particular attention was paid to the toes and tails based on the hypothesis that if this compound was implicated in acro-osteolysls that circulatory failure and lesions of the most distal portions of the body would be affected as is the case in man. No single lesion occurred with sufficient frequency to Implicate the compound in this regard. Detailed reports on pathology are available.
Protocol sheets and Standard Test Procedures are available for each entry upon request.

Standard Test Procedures
In all tests, the nonfasted animals are maintained on appropriate Rockland diets and water ad lib except during period of manipulation or confinement. Dosage levels differ by a factor of 2 in a geometric aeries, LDSOs or LC50s arc calculated by the moving average method based on a 14-day observation period.
Peroral. Compounds administered by stomach intubation to Wistar derived male rats, 90-120 grams in weight and 3 to 4 weeks of age, reared in our own colony.
Skin Penetration. Male albino rabbits, 3 to 5 months of age, are immobil ized during the 24-hour contact period with the compound retained under impervious sheeting on the clipped Intact skin of the trunk. Thereafter, excess fluid is removed to prevent ingestion. Maximum dosage that can be retained is 20 ml./kg.
Inhalation. Procedure A, Concentrated vapor is generated in a gas washing bottle by passing dried air at 2.5 liters/min. through a fritted glass disc immersed to a depth of at least 1-1/2 inches in the chemical which Is delivered to rats in a 9-liter glass exposure chamber. Mean vapor concentration is calculated from the loss In weight of the liquid or estimated from the vapor pressure at the actual temperature of the chemical during aeration.
Procedure B. Substantially saturated vapor is prepared by spreading 50 grams of chemical over 200 cm,2 area on shallow tray placed near the top of a 120-liter glass chamber which is then sealed for at least 10 hours while an Intermittently operated fan agitates the internal chamber atmosphere. Rats are then introduced in a gasketed drawer-type cage designed and operated to minimize vapor loss.
Procedure C. Mist, vapor and Any oxidation or decomposition products of the chemical held at 170C, are generated and delivered as in A.
Procedure D. Vapor at metered concentration, not checked analytically, is generated by feeding the liquid at a constant rate down the inside of a spirally corrugated surface of a minimally heated one inch Pyrex tube, through which metered air is passed Resultant vapor is delivered as in A.
Procedure E. Spray - Solutions or suspensions are atomized in a glass VAPONEFRIN nebulizer using dried compressed air at 9 liters/min. (corrected) and 22 p.s.l. The resultant aerosol of droplets averaging 2 microns in diameter is conducted directly into a 60-liter cubic glass chamber containing rats. Mean aerosol concentration is calculated from the amount of material atomized.
Procedure F. Dust - Dust clouds are generated by a baffled Wright Dust Fead through which air is passed at 20 liters/min, (uncorrected) at 15 p.s.l. The dust is de livered directly to a 120-liter plexielas chamber containing rats. Airborne dust concentrations are measured gravimetrically every half hour.
Skin Irritation. Chemical is applied in 0,01 ml. amounts to clipped, un covered intact skin of 5 rabbit bellies either undiluted or in progressive dilutions of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01X in solvent. Ten grades are recognized based on appearance of moderate or marked capillary infection, erythema, edema or necrosis within 24 hours. No injury from undiluted Grade 1.
Kye Irritation. Eyes not staining with 5% fluorescein in 20 seconds contact are accepted. Single instillation of 0.005, 0,02, 0,10 or 0.5 ml. undiluted or of 0.5 ml. of 40, 15, 5 and 1% dilutions are made into conjunctival sac of 5 rnhlilLu, Uuiul lmmudlately unstained and after fluorescein at 24 hours, with ten gi'iidus recognized. Trace or no inlurv from 0,5 ml. undiluted Grade 1,
