Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
2 rats (1 male (animal no. 1), 1 female (animal no. 2)) were treated 2 days before the other rats. The findings for these were:

- no deaths, no clinical signs, no macroscopic findings
- body weights within commonly recorded range
- focal crusts after test item application lasting for 13 days in male rat
- Brown discoloration of the skin in male and female rat lasting up to the end of the observation period
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No deaths occurred during the course of the study.
Clinical signs:
No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study.
Body weight:
One female slightly lost body weight in the second week after treatment (2%). The body weights of the other animals were within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
Other findings:
Local dermal signs: Four males and one female showed focal crusts after test item application lasting for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 13 days. Brown discoloration of the skin was observed in all animals for a minimum of 7 days after test item application and lasted up to the end of the observation period in 3 males and 3 females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The study is considered to be adequate and reliable.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity was assessed in a valid GLP study according to OECD TG 402.

5 male and 5 female RccHan:WIST (SPF) rats were treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg by dermal application. The test item was applied by weight as supplied by the Sponsor. For better dermal contact, the test item was moistened with purified water before application. All animals were examined for clinical signs before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 and once daily during test days 2 to 15. Local dermal signs were assessed once daily from test day 2 to 15. Mortality was assessed before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during test days 2 to15. Body weights were recorded on test day 1 (prior to administration) and on test days 8 and 15. All animals were examined macroscopically after being sacrificed at the end of the study.

No deaths occurred during the course of the study and no clinical signs were observed. Four males and one female showed focal crusts after test item application lasting for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 13 days. Brown discoloration of the skin was observed in all animals for a minimum of 7 days after test item application and lasted up to the end of the observation period in 3 males and 3 females. One female slightly lost body weight in the second week after treatment (2%). The body weights of the other animals were within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.

The median lethal dose of the test item after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
