Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No deaths were seen in five rabbits (mixed sex) given a covered skin application of undiluted Santicizer 278 at up to 10 g/kg bw, and then observed for two weeks.
Executive summary:

Undiluted Santicizer 278 was applied to the closely clipped, intact skin of a total of five New Zealand white rabbits. Three females were dosed at 2.51, 6.31 or 10 g/kg bw (one at each dose), and two males at 3.98 or 10 g/kg bw. The treated areas were covered with “plastic strips” and the animals held in wooden stocks for periods of up to 24 hours, before being assigned to individual cages. The animals were assessed for toxic symptoms and weight gain during the observation period, and the surviving animals sacrificed 14 days after dosing and examined macroscopically.

All five animals survived the 14-day observation period. Reduced appetite was seen at 6.31 and 10 g/kg bw, and slight weakness for two days at 10 g/kg bw. Growth during the 5 days after dosing appeared unaffected by treatment, and the “viscera appeared normal by macroscopic examination”. The investigators concluded that “the compound was classed as practically non-toxic by skin absorption in male and female rabbits”. Under the conditions of this study, the LD50 can be considered greater than 10 g/kg bw.  Under the EC CLP regulations, this study would indicate that Santicizer 278 is not classified for acute dermal toxicity
