Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml of test article was dosed as such
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days; reading time points: 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: one day before dose administration, the fur was removed from the central back of the animals by clipping, exposing an area of the skin of approx. 10 cm x 10 cm. Test article was applied to a 6 cm2 gauze patch, which was attached with a drop of petrolatum to aluminium foil and mounted on permeable tape. This was applied to one of the flanks of each animal, the other flank being covered with the same dressing without test substance. Finally, the animals were wrapped in flexible bandage.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After exposure the remaining test substance was removed, using a dry tissue and subsequently a tissue moistened with tap water.

Remarks on result:
other: Edema observed after 1 h was fully reversible within 24 h
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The skin of all animals showed very slight edema, and slight to well-defined erythema. In one animal all effects had disappeared within 3 days, while in the other two animals very slight redness persisted until day 7.
Other effects:
Two of the animals had slight diarrhoea for a short period of time during the observation period. According to the authors, this was probably not related to exposure to the test substance. Other signs of systemic intoxication were not observed in any of the rabbits.
The test article itself could not be easily removed from the skin using dry and wet tissues, and the exposed skin felt slightly sticky for one to two days after dosing.
