Method

Type of population:
general
Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed: 19
- Sex: 1 male, 18 female
- Age: 18 to >60
Ethical approval:
not specified
Route of exposure:
dermal
Exposure assessment:
estimated
Details on exposure:
A Q-Chamber with Webrill disc was used for occlusive exposure of 2mL of 0.3, 1 and 3.0% of the test substance. Prior application of the test patches the pH of the test material was adjusted with citric acid to achieve a range of 6-7. The test patches were placed on the back of the subjects for 24h and the reactions were examined 1/2, 24 and 48h after patch removal.

Based on the 1/2-hour and 48-hour scorings, BioTerge AS-40 was well tolerated at concentrations of 0.3% and 1.0 % but the 24-hour scorings were in contradiction and suggested that BioTerge AS-40 showed significant skin irritation at all doses.
