At the end of the observation period (day 28/42), all test animals were humanely sacrificed by using CO2 asphyxiation method. A detailed gross necropsy was carried out on all animals of all groups after examination of the external surfaces of the body including all orifices. The cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities were opened and the appearance of the tissues and organs were observed. All gross pathological findings were recorded individually for each animal.
The following organ wet weights were determined from all the animals during the time of necropsy.
1. Liver 2. Kidneys 3. Adrenals 4. Testes (males)
Normal and treated skin, liver, kidneys were collected and kept in 10% neutral buffered formalin for fixation. Organs with gross pathological lesions were also collected and kept in the appropriate fixative and processed for histopathologic examinations.

Histopathological examination was performed on the preserved organs and tissues of the high dose group, control group and on the organs showing gross pathological lesions. - Other examinations:

No statistical significant changes were observed in hematology parameters of G6 group males when compared with G5 group males. Statistical significant difference in basophil count was observed in G6 females when compared with G5 group females
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Day- 28
Total Protein in G3 males and albumin in G4 males showed statistical significant difference when compared with G1 group males. Globulin in G3 females exhibited statistical significant difference when compared with G1 group females. No statistical significant changes were observed in males of G6 when compared with G5 group. Statistical significant difference in chlorides was observed in G6 females when compared with G5 group females.
Day-42
No statistical significant changes were observed in G6 males when compared with G5 group males. Statistical significant difference was noted in albumin of G6 females when compared with G5 female group
The above changes (day 28 & 42) were not observed in dose dependent manner, hence these changes could be considered as individual animal normal biological variance and not attributed to the application of test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- On the basis of the results obtained in the present study, no mortality was observed in both sex of treated as well as control group of animals during entire experiment period. Although few changes occurred in hematology and clinical biochemistry parameters, those changes were not related to test substance and could be considered as individual animal normal biological variance. There was no test substance related macroscopic and microscopic findings observed. In the light of above observations, the NOEL of N-n- Butylbenzenesulphonamide (PROVIPLAST 024) for Wistar rats could be considered as> 1000 mg/kg b.w. under the experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
A repeated dose - 28 day dermal toxicity study was conducted with N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide in Wistar Rats at dose levels of 0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw (semi-occlusive dosing; no vehicle). On the basis of the results obtained in the present study, no mortality was observed in both sex of treated as well as control group of animals during entire experiment period. Although few changes occurred in hematology and clinical biochemistry parameters, those changes were not related to test substance and could be considered as individual animal normal biological variance. There was no test substance related macroscopic and microscopic findings observed. In the light of above observations, the NOEL of N-n- Butylbenzenesulphonamide for Wistar rats could be considered as >1000 mg/kg b.w. under the experimental conditions.
