Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Breeder: Elevage Cunicole de Val de Selle, 80160 Prouzel, France.
Weight: on the day of treatment, the animals had a mean body weight of 2.9 ± 0.2 kg.
Acclimatization: at least 5 days before the beginning of the study.
Housing conditions: polystyrene cages (35 cm x 55 cm x 32 cm or 48.2 cm x 58 cm x 36.5 cm). Each cage was equipped with a food container and a water bottle.
Food: free access to 112 C pelleted diet (U.A.R., 91360 Villemoisson-sur-Orge, France).
Water: filtered by a F.G. Millipore membrane (0.22 µ)

Environmental conditions
. Temperature: 18 ± 3°C
. Relative humidity: 30 to 70%
. Light/dark cycle: 12 h/12 h
. Ventilation: approximately 12 cycles/hour of filtered, non-recycled air.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The untreated skin served as control.
Amount / concentration applied:
A single dose of 500 mg of the test substance was placed on a 6 cm² moistened gauze pad which was then applied to the right flank of the animals for 4 hours.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
As possible irritant effects were anticipated, the test substance was evaluated in one animal (No. 01) in a first assay. The duration of exposure was 4 hours on the right flank.

Since the test substance was not strongly irritant in this first assay, it was then applied for 4 hours to two other animals (Nos. 02 and 03) in a second assay.
Observation period:
The skin was examined approximately 1 hour, 24,48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing.
Number of animals:
3 animals were used, as recommended by the international guidelines and taking into account that a good correlation of results can be obtained with either three or six animals. The animals were identified individually with a metal tag in the ear.
