Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Details on dermal exposure:
The skin was abraded in one animal/sex of each dosage group.
Duration of exposure:
The test sites were occluded for 24 h with a dental dam.
Observations were made 24 h after dosing and daily thereafter for 14 days.
Doses:
A single 24-h, dermal application of neat isopulegol at 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 ml/kg/body weight (1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10.0 g/kg/body weight).
No. of animals per sex per dose:

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
3 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
At 5 ml/kg, death occurred in one abraded female rabbit at 24 h; the remaining three rabbits surviving the 5.0 ml/kg dose exhibited ataxia.
At 10 ml/kg all the animals died, with two males dead at 24 h and two females at 48 h.
Gross pathology:
Gross pathologic findings consisted of hyperemia of the stomach and post mortem change.
Gross necropsy of the surviving animals revealed dehydration and hemorrhage involving the dermis and epidermis

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 in rabbits was determined to be approximately 3000 mg/kg of body weight
