Details on study design:
About 24 hours before the start of the study the hair in the dorsal region of the body of
3 rabbits was removed with an electric clipper over an area of about 25 cm2. Only
animals with intact skin were used.
Each animal was treated with 0.5 g Beta W 7 A 1.0 pasted with 0.5 ml
Polyethylenglycol 400 (Riedel de Haen Aktiengesellschaft). The substance was
administered over the whole surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 em cellulose patch on a piece of
surgical plaster (specially produced by Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft). The plaster was
fixed to the prepared skin area and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage.
The exposure period was 4 hours. After the exposure period all remnants of the test
substance were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water.
Examinations of the skin took place after 30 - 60 minutes as well as 24, 48 and 72
hours after removal of the patches.
Erythema, eschar formation and oedema were evaluated numerically according to the
score of DRAIZE (see Appendix "Scale for scoring dermal reactions", page 11). All
other changes of the skin were recorded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

erythema. One day after removal of the patch the irritations were reversible.
Based on the results of this study Beta W 7 A 1.0 is not irritating to skin.

Details on study design:
About 24 hours before the start of the study the test eyes of all animals were examined
under UV light for comeallesions after instillation of one drop of a 0.01 %
fluorescein-sodium solution. Only animals without ocular abnormalities were used for
the study.
100 mg Beta W 7 A 1.0 was administered once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye
of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control.
24 hours after administration and at all other designated examination times at which
the treated eyes still showed discharge or at which a corneal examination with
fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out thoroughly
with isotonic saline at approx. 37 °C.
The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration of the test substance.
At 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV
light after instillation of one drop of a 0.01 % fluorescein-sodium solution. Lesions in
cornea, iris or conjunctivae were graded numerically (see Appendix "Scale for scoring
ocular reactions" page 11 and 12). All other changes or toxic effects were recorded.
