[Experimental data on the toxicology of the esters of ethylcarbitol and fatty acids]

It was established in acute experiments on white rats and mice that the ester of ethylcarbitol and fatty acids is virtually not toxic. LD50 intragastrically is 36.5 g/kg for rats and 22.75 g/kg for mice. The threshold and subthreshold doses equal to 1.825 g/kg and 0.730 g/kg, respectively were determined in subacute experiments on rats. The ester of ethylcarbitol and fatty acids is a moderately cumulative substance.
