Irritant / corrosive response data:
An edema was not observed in all three animals during the observation period.
Other effects:
Systemic toxic effects did not occur after dermal application of the test substance. The general condition of the test animals was not affected.

The single application (4 hours, occlusive patch) of 0.5 g L-threonine feed grade to the intact skin of each of three rabbits caused very slight changes in two animals.

Additional information

Skin irritation

The acute dermal irritation of L-threonine was investigated with rabbits in a GLP study according to OECD guideline 404 (93 -0021 -DGT). There was no indication of a systemic effect of treatment. The single application (4 hours, occlusive patch) of 0.5 g L-threonine to the intact skin of each of three rabbits caused very slight changes in two animals. Therefore, L-threonine can be classified as not skin irritating. This result is supported by a further GLP study according to OECD guideline 404 (2002 -0792 -FGT).

Eye irritation

The acute eye irritation of L-threonine was investigated with rabbits in a GLP study according to OECD guideline 405. There was no indication of a systemic effect of treatment. In the cornea and iris of all three animals no alterations were detected during the observation period. The conjunctiva of one animal reacted with hyperemia (grade 1) only at the application day. In the two other animals no changes were observed. Therefore, L-threonine can be classified as not eye irritating. This result is supported by a further GLP study according to OECD guideline 405 (2002 -0794 -FGT).
