Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
The appropriate amount of test item was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area) using a graduated syringe.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
On the day before treatment the back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair.
The appropriate amount of test item was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area) using a graduated syringe. A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi occluded with a piece of self adhesive bandage. The animals were caged individually for the 24-hour exposure period. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place.
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 item. The animals were returned to group housing for the remainder of the study period.
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 (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

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.


- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity ½, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test item on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. At the end of the study the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other: The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was performed.

Evaluation of Data

Data evaluations included the relationship, if any, between the exposure of the animal to the test item and the incidence and severity of all abnormalities including behavioural and clinical observations, gross lesions, bodyweight changes, mortality and any other toxicological effects.

Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item was made.

Individual dermal reactions for males and females were reported individually. For males, very slight erythemas were reported for 3 animals. In one animal, very slight erythema occured for 3 days after initiation of exposure. In another animal, such effects occured for day 2 and day 3. In one male animal, very slight erythema occured for 4 days following crust formation on day 5 and 6 as well as small superficial scattered scabs on day 5 till day 9 after initiation of exposure.

For females, very slight erythema were reported for 5 animals. In 4 females, such effectes occured for 3 days after initial exposure. In 1 animal, very slight erythema occured on day 2 and day 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:
Introduction. The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 402 “Acute Dermal Toxicity” (adopted24 February 1987)

Method B3 Acute Toxicity (Dermal) of CommissionRegulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Method. A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi‑occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Mortality. There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.

Dermal Irritation. Very slight erythema was noted at the test sites of nine animals. Crust formation and small superficial scattered scabs were also noted at the test site of one male. There were no signs of dermal irritation noted at the test site of one male.

Bodyweight. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.

Necropsy. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Conclusion. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
