Simulations verified that the default procedure indicated in the guideline—with an initial test dose of 175 mg/kg, a minimum test dose of 1 mg/kg, a maximum test dose of 5000 mg/kg, and use of a likelihood-ratio stopping rule— provides good performance for the UDP for classification when dose progression spacing of 3.2x dose is used.

The smaller the LD50 value, the more toxic the chemical is. The opposite is also true: the larger the LD50 value, the lower the toxicity. It was developed in 1920's and called "classical LD50" involved 100 animals for 5 dose-groups, later in 1981 it was modified by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and reduced number upto 30 for 3 dose-groups.

LD stands for "Lethal Dose". LD 50 is the amount of a material, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals. The LD 50 is one way to measure the short-term poisoning potential (acute toxicity) of a material.. Toxicologists can use many kinds of animals but most often testing is done with rats and mice. It is usually expressed as the amount of chemical ...

The determination of toxicity is usually given quantitative expression by the statement of a minimal lethal dose. The common use of this expression in the literature of the subject would logically involve the assumptions that there is a dose, for any given poison, which is only just sufficient to kill all or most of the animals of a given species, and that doses very little smaller would not ...

1. Introduction. The mean lethal dose (LD 50) is one of the parameters frequently obtained in acute toxicity studies; it is the dose of a substance that causes death in 50% of experimental animals ().. In the 1920s, the 'classical LD 50 ' method was developed, requiring the use of 100 animals distributed into 5 groups, each given a different dose of the chemical agent under study.
