Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: A solubility experiment was performed according to the recommendations given by OECD 429. The highest test item concentration, which can be technically used was 100 % of the undiluted test item.
- Irritation: To determine the highest test item concentration that does not induce local signs of skin irritation or systemic toxicity, a pre-test was performed in two animals. Two mice were treated with test item concentrations of 50 and 100% each on three consecutive days. In the pre-test clinical signs were recorded within 1 hour and 24 ± 4 hours after each application as well as on day 6. At the tested concentrations the animals did not show signs of excessive local irritation as confirmed by the ear thickness measurements. An increase in ear weight of about 13.4 % was observed in the animal treated with the undiluted test item (100 %) in comparison to the animal treated with 50% test item concentration. However, this was not considered as a severe sign of local irritation. Also, the animals did not show any signs of systemic toxicity.

TREATMENT PREPARATION: The test item was placed into a volumetric flask on a tared balance and methyl ethyl ketone was quantitatively added. Test item solution at different concentrations was prepared by serial dilution. The preparations were made freshly before each dosing occasion.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Statistics:

For all statistical calculations SigmaStat for Windows (Version 2.0) was used. A One- Way-Analysis-of-Variance was used as statistical method. In case of significant results of the One-Way-ANOVA, multiple comparisons were performed with the Dunnett test and the Student Newman Keuls test.

Calculation of the EC 3 value:

	Test item concentration %	S.I.
Test Group 2	25 (a)	2.98 (b)
Test Group 3	50 (c)	4.86 (d)
EC3 = (a-c)[(3-d)/(b-d)] + c = 25.3 % (w/v)

EC3 = Estimated concentration for a S.I. of 3.

a,b,c,d = Co-ordinates of the two pairs of data lying immediately above and below the S.I. value of 3 on the LLNA dose response plot
