Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD0

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

no indication of skin irritation up to the relevant limit dose level

Mortality:

No unscheduled deaths occurred during the study.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed in any animals. A very slight to moderate-to-severe erythema was noted in all males and a very slight to well defined erythema was recorded in all females from Day 2 until Day 6 at the latest

Gross pathology:

The spleen was enlarged in 4/5 males given the test item at 2000 mg/kg. In the absence of macroscopic findings in females given the same dose-level, this finding was considered to be incidental and unrelated to the test item administration.

Other findings:

no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the dermal LD0 of the test item, was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.
Therefore, the test item should not be classified as acutely toxic by dermal route according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential toxicity of the test item, following a single dermal application to rats.

This study was conducted in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and the principles of Good Laboratory Practices.

 

Methods

 

The test item was applied in its original form to the skin of five female then five male Sprague-Dawley rats at the dose-level of 2000 mg/kg. The application site was covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours.

Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs for 15 days. From Day 2, any local reactions at the treatment site were also noted. Body weight was recorded on Day 1 and then on Days 8 and 15.

On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed and then submitted for a macroscopic post-mortem examination.Macroscopic lesions were preserved in buffered formal in then destroyed at the finalization of the study report as no microscopic examination was performed.

 

Results

 

No unscheduled deaths occurred during the study.

No clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed in any animals.

A very slight to moderate-to-severe erythema was noted in all males and a very slight to well-defined erythema was recorded in all females from Day 2 until Day 6. This was associated with very slight to moderate dryness from Day 4 or 5 until Day 13 in all animals. Scabs were observed in 2/5 males from Day 7 to Day 11.

When compared to CiToxLAB France historical control data, a higher body weight gain was observed in 1/5 males (+57 g vs. +39 ± 11.5 g in control data base) between Days 1 and 8 whereas a lower body weight gain was noted in 2/5 males (+35 g and +33 g, respectively, vs. +50 ± 12.0 g in control data base) between Day 8 and Day 15.

A lower body weight gain was observed in 2/5 females (+13 g and +14 g, respectively, vs. +25 ± 10.0 g in control data base) between Days 1 and 8. This was followed by a body weight loss of 2 g in one of them over the second part of the observation period.

Nevertheless and in absence of marked body weight effect, body weight of animals was considered unaffected by the test item treatment in both sexes when compared to CiToxLAB France historical control data.

At the end of the observation period, there were no macroscopic findings at necropsy attributable to the test item administration.

 

Conclusion

 

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the dermal LD0 of the test item, was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.

 

Therefore, the test item should not be classified as acutely toxic by dermal route according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
