Studying 15 male and 15 female rats per dose group, after being given an oral dosage, an LD50 of 2188 mg/kg bodyweight and an LD50 of 1590 mg/kg bodyweight were found for males and females, respectively. Laboured breathing, polyuria, sanguineous urine, and reduced activity were observed, lasting from 15 minutes after ingestion until 7–9 days. The deceased rats had empty intestinal tracts and white-stippled stomachs. Moreover, pure compound administration resulted in a male LD50 of 1249 mg/kg body weight. Symptoms in these male rats included: bloody eyes, ataxia, cramps, diuresis, weight loss. Another study found an LD50 of 770 mg/kg (male) and 702 mg/kg (female) after administering these rats with benzoyl chloride in corn oil. Besides the same symptoms described earlier, upon necropsy lung congestion, thymus with red foci and yellow stained urogenital region and fluid filled intestines were found.
