Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Wistar (HsdRccHan:WIST)
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan Laboratories U.K. Ltd., Oxon, UK
- Age at study initiation: eight to twelve weeks
- Weight at study initiation: at least 200 g (the weight variation did not exceed ± 20% of the mean weight for each sex)
- Housing: The animals were housed in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24 hour exposure period and in groups of five by sex for the remainer of the study.
- Diet : Free access to 2014 Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories U.K. Ltd., Oxon, UK
- Water : Free access to mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: At least five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-25 °C
- Humidity (%): 30-70%
- Air changes (per hr): The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.

The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied : 2000 mg/kg, dose volume 1.91 mL/kg

For the purpose of the study the test material was used as supplied. The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
The absorption of the test material was not determined.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
10 (5 males/5 females)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back and flanks
- % coverage: Approximately 10%
- Type of wrap if used: A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14 or at death.
- Other examinations performed: After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the following scale from Draize J H (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.31

EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTIONS
Erythema and Eschar Formation
No erythema : 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible): 1
Well-defined erythema: 2
Moderate to severe erythema: 3
Severe erythema (beef redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth): 4
Oedema Formation
No oedema: 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible): 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising): 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre): 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure): 4

Any other skin reactions, if present were also recorded.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Remarks on result:
other: Adverse dermal reactions prevented accurate evaluation of erythema and oedema at all test sites during the test. The reactions were considered to be indicative of dermal corrosion.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Signs of dermal irritation noted were very slight erythema, light brown discolouration of the epidermis, blanching of the skin, small superficial scattered scabs, hardened light brown coloured scab, hardened dark brown/black coloured scab, scab cracking, scab lifting at edges to reveal dried blood, scab lifting to reveal glossy skin, scab undulating and glossy skin. The scab/damaged tissue at the test site of one animal has sloughed off revealing a crater (ulcer) over the majority of the test site.
Other effects:
One female was killed for humane reasons seven days after dosing, due to the approach of the moderate severity limit set by the UK Home Office.
Signs of systemic toxicity noted in the female that was humanely killed were hunched posture, pilo-erection, dehydration, emaciation and pallor of the extremities. Tiptoe gait and/or hunched posture were noted in two other females. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the remaining females or all males.
Two females showed bodyweight loss during the first and second week. Three males and two females showed bodyweight loss during the first week but expected gain in bodyweight during the second week. Two males showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.
Gaseous distension of the stomach was noted in the animal that was killed for humane reasons during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the animals killed at the end of the study.
