Amount / concentration applied:
Guideline: OECD 404 (1992)
Species: New Zealand white rabbits
Group size: 3 females
Test substance: DA 060492 (Indigofera tinctoria leaf powder)
Batch: type 210741, 03.02.94.
Purity: /
Dose levels: approx. 80 mg/cm²
Route: dermal
Exposure: 4 h
GLP: in compliance
Date: 1994

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
72h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
A cellulose patch with 0.5 g of DA 060492 was spread over approx. 6 cm² and fixed with a
non-irritating tape. Animals were examined for erythema/eschar and oedema as well as for
local and systemic signs: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal.
