Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Prior to the start of the Main study, the intradermal and epidermal irritancy of the test substance was investigated to select test substance concentrations suitable for the induction and challenge phase of the Main Study. The test system, procedures and techniques were identical to those used during the main study, unless otherwise specified. The animals were selected from stock and were between 5 and 9 weeks old, and as a consequence the body weights could exceed 500 grams. Body weights were determined prior to treatment. A series of four test substance concentrations was used for Induction; the highest concentration being the maximum concentration that could technically be injected. Each of two animals received two different concentrations in duplicate (0.1 mL/site) in the clipped scapular region.
A series of four test substance concentrations was used; the highest concentration being the maximum concentration that could technically be applied. Two different concentrations were applied (0.5 mL each) per animal to the clipped flank, using Metalline patches (2x3 cm) mounted on Medical tape, which were held in place with Micropore tape' and subsequently Coban elastic bandage. The animals receiving intradermal injections were treated with the lowest concentrations and two further animals with the highest concentrations. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance.
The injection sites and treated skin areas were assessed for irritation 24 and 48 hours after treatment.

Preliminary Study

The necrosis seen at intradermal injection of the lower concentrations (2% and 1%) was considered to be caused mainly by the propylene glycol rather than the test substance. This is confirmed by the consistent diameter of the necrotic area seen in the control animals after the intradermal injection with propylene glycol only in the main study. Based on these results, the test substance concentrations selected for the Main Study were a 2% concentration for the intradermal induction and a 50% concentration for the epidermal induction exposure. No signs of irritation were observed to the highest test substance concentration tested in the preliminary irritation study. Therefore, the test site of all animals was treated with 10% SDS approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction in the main study, to provoke a mild inflammatory reaction. A 50% test substance concentration was selected for the challenge phase.
