SODIUM METHANOLATE<br />

5. TOXICITY ID: 124-41-4<br />

DATE: 28.06.2006<br />

hydrolyses rapidly to methanol and sodium hydroxide, in fact the hydrolysis<br />

products have been tested.<br />

Result : MORTALITY:<br />

Dose [mg/kg bw] Mortality<br />

2000 8/10<br />

1587 2/10<br />

1260 1/10<br />

1000 1/10<br />

LD50 males: 1844 mg/kg bw<br />

LD50 females: 1682 mg/kg bw<br />

LD50 combined: 1687 mg/kg bw<br />

- Time of death: most deaths occurred between days 1 and 6 after<br />

treatment.<br />

CLINICAL SIGNS:<br />

All animals: hunched posture, pilo-erection, decreased respiration rate (1 to<br />

4 h after dosing).<br />

Some of the symptoms were observed up to days 6 to 9 in surviving<br />

animals of the 1587 mg/kg bw group and up to day 11 in those of the high<br />

dose group.<br />

Additional symptoms at 1587 mg/kg bw: lethargy, ptosis pallor of the<br />

extremities, red/brown staining around the snout, emaciation (females,<br />

from day 6).<br />

Body weights: In most of the animals body weight gain was noted. Isolated<br />

cases of body weight loss or reduced bw gain were reported.<br />

NECROPSY FINDINGS:<br />

Common abnormalities of animals that died during the study:<br />

red lungs, pale or dark or patchy pallor of livers.<br />

At 1587 and 2000 mg/kg bw: severe haemorrhage and rugae of the<br />

glandular gastric epithelium. Occasional adherence of stomach to the liver.<br />

In the surviving animals killed at termination occasional findings were white<br />

foci in the non-glandular gastric epithelium and adherence of the stomach<br />

to the liver.<br />
