Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity)

Deviations:

yes

Principles of method if other than guideline:

- Only 2 doses used and the doses were high.
- Test was terminated after 7 days to avoid unnecessary suffering, meaning a specific LD50 could not be calculated.
- Occlusive dressing was used, preferred is semi-occlusive.

not specified

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: ~60 square centimetres

not specified

Details on study design:

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

ca. 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

None of the animals treated with 2500 mg/kg were dead 7 days after treatment, when the experiment was terminated to avoid unnecessary suffering. However the heavy weight loss of 20% indicates, that deaths during the second week after treatment might well have been possible.
In the 5000 mg/kg dose group, 3 males died on day 5 and 2 females died 1 on day 3 and 1 on day 5).

Clinical signs:

other: The systemic signs exhibited by the rats were those of general distress such as sedation, dyspnoea, ruffled fur, ventral and curved body position and diarrhoea. On the application site erythema developed within the first 24 hours; on the second day necros

Gross pathology:

No compound related gross organ changes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute dermal LD50 of the test material seems to be about 5000 mg/kg after one week of observation.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal LD₅₀ of the test material seems to be about 5000 mg/kg after one week of observation.

The whole treated area of the skin became necrotic and started to slough off seven days after the application of the test material. To avoid unnecessary suffering the experiment was therefore terminated after one instead of two weeks.

After treatment a heavy weight loss was also observed.
