Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River (UK) Ltd, Margate, Kent, UK
- Age at study initiation: 8-12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: at least 200g. The weight variation did not exceed ± 20% of the mean weight for each sex, except for one male animal which was slightly outside this range. This deviation was considered not to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Fasting period before study: None
- Housing:suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 - 25 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): at least 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours dark / 12 hours light


IN-LIFE DATES: From: 25 February 2008 To: 10 March 2008

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: NDA
- % coverage: approximately 10 % of total body surface area
- Type of wrap if used: a piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test material
- Time after start of exposure: after 24-hour contact


TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg
- Concentration (if solution): N/A
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: NDA


VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): the appropriate amount of test material, moistened with arachis oil BP, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin
- Concentration (if solution): N/A
- Lot/batch no. (if required): NDA
- Purity: NDA

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2000 mg/kg: 5 male, 5 female

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the following scale from Draize J H (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.31:

EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTIONS

Erythema and Eschar Formation Value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beef redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4

Oedema Formation Value
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4

Any other skin reactions, if present were also recorded.

Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other: None

Statistics:

No data available.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (0656/0379), a group of ten 8-12 week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats (five male and five female) were dermally exposed to Experimental 11591-54 in arachis oil for 24 hours to approximately 10 % of total body surface area at a dose level of  2000  mg/kg bw.  Animals then were observed for 14 days.

 

Combined Dermal LD₅₀: >2000 mg/kg bw

 

No mortality occurred. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study, and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy. No signs of irritation exhibited in any animals.
