Study conducted under MAFF, OECD and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) GLP standards.<br />

One out of five females died on day 8 after dos<strong>in</strong>g, exhibited lacrimation, lethargy, irregular gait and laboured<br />

Eight out of twenty showed no sensitization; two out of ten had scores of 1 (scattered mild redness).<br />

Fifteen out of twenty had a score of 1 (discrete or patchy erythema); two out of twenty had a score of 2 (moderate or<br />

confluent erythema).<br />

Oral adm<strong>in</strong>istration<br />

Bifenazate (lot No. DS042795; purity, 90.4%) was given to groups of five male and five female<br />

young adult CD-1 by gavage (12.5% w/v <strong>in</strong> distilled water) as a s<strong>in</strong>gle dose at 5000 mg/kg bw.<br />

Treated mice were subjected to gross necropsy at the end of a 14-day observation period. This study<br />

was conducted <strong>in</strong> accordance with GLP. One female died on day 8 after dos<strong>in</strong>g. The female that<br />

died exhibited lacrimation, lethargy, irregular gait, and laboured breath<strong>in</strong>g on day 7 after dos<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Decreased faecal volume was also noted for this female on days 2 through 5 and day 7 and for two<br />

other females on days 2 and 3 after dos<strong>in</strong>g. There were no other mortalities, no treatment-related<br />

cl<strong>in</strong>ical signs of toxicity, and no necropsy f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs or changes <strong>in</strong> body weight observed dur<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

14-day observation period. The median lethal dose (LD 50<br />

) was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw (Hoffman,<br />

1996g).<br />
