POTASSIUM METHANOLATE<br />

5. TOXICITY ID: 865-33-8<br />

DATE: 28.06.2006<br />

Remark : As the substance was tested in aqeous solution and sodium methylate<br />

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

products have been tested.<br />

Result : Mortality: All animals of the 1000 mg/kg bw. group died between 1 h and 1<br />

day p.a..<br />

Symptoms:<br />

All dose groups:<br />

dyspnea, apathy<br />

from 316 mg/kg additionally yellow discoloration of the urine.<br />

from 681 mg/kg: spastic and staggered gait.<br />

at 1000 mg/kg: anomal posture, atonia, reddening of skin, loss of pain<br />

reflex, narcotic condition.<br />

Pathology<br />

Macroscopic examination:<br />

Animals that wer killed after termination of the study did not reveal any<br />

macroscopic organ changes.<br />

Animals that died during the study:<br />

Dilatation of right heart, discoloration of right ventricle, acute comgestive<br />

hyperaemia. Stomach: atonic, fluid stomach content, forestomach: diffuse<br />

reddening, vascular injection. Intestines: atonic, diarrhoea.<br />

Test condition : TEST ORGANISMS: malae and female Spraque Dawley rats<br />
