No. of animals per sex per dose:

A total of 5 female albino rabbits were treated.

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 3 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: no animals died at this dose

Mortality:

No animals died

Any other information on results incl. tables

Moderate erythema was seen with all compounds. Occassional sloughing was seen but this was in large part due to damage caused by the removal of the tape from the skin and is not believed to be drug related. All rabbits appeared normal by the end of the test period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Dermal LD50Combined > 3000 mg/kg bw

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study female albino rabbits were exposed to undiluted Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) for 24 hours (area exposure of 12 cm) at doses of 1000 (1 animal), 2000 (1 animal) or 3000 (3 animals) mg/kg bw under an occlusive coverage. Animals then were observed for 7 days.

 

Dermal LD₅₀ Combined > 3000 mg/kg bw

 

No animals died at any dose level tested. Moderate erythema was seen with all compounds. All rabbits appeared normal by the end of the test period

 

Under the test conditions, HCA is not classified according to the Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute dermal toxicity study.
