Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back and flanks
- % coverage:105 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): After the 24-hour contact period 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: 24h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg
- Concentration (if solution):N/a
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

2000 mg/kg/body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

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 Yz, 1,2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
- Other examinations performed: Gross pathological examination. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormal ities was recorded. No tissues were retained.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

Male: 2000 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 5; Number of deaths: 0
Female: 2000 mg/kg bw; Number of animals: 5; Number of deaths: 0

Clinical signs:

other: Signs of toxicity related to dose levels: No clinical signs of toxicity were noted during the study. All animals showed an expected gain in bodyweight during the study.

Gross pathology:

Effects on organs:
No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Other findings:

Signs of toxicity (local):
Very slight to well defined erythema was noted at the
treatment sites of all animals one day after dosing and in
four female animals two and three days after dosing. Other
skin reactions noted at the treatment sites of all female
animals were haemorrhage of the dermal capillaries and crust
formation. The treatment sites appeared normal two to seven
days after dosing.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD 5O) of the test material, S-900, in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
