- Housing: Individually housed
- Diet: Purina Rabbit Chow, ad libitum
- Water: Automatic watering system, ad libitum.Municipal water supply (Elizabethtown Water Co. )

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

On the day before dosing (approx 18 h prior to dosing), the hair of each rabbit was closely clipped from the trunk with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. Just prior to dosing, the skin of all of the animals was abraded longitudinally every 2 or 3 cm over the area of exposure, deep enough to penetrate the stratum corneum, but not so deep as to disturb the dermis or produce bleeding. The test substance was applied directly onto the exposed skin of the animal, and spread evenly over the entire area. A layer of 8-ply gauze was then wrapped around the animal to cover the application site. The animal was then wrapped in an impervious plastic sleeve, designed to contain the test substance without leakage or undue pressure. The sleeve was secured with masking tape and Elizabethan collars were placed on all animals. Following approx 24 h of exposure, the wrappings were removed and the test site wiped free of excess test substance. After 30 min, dermal observations were made.

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

10 (six males, four females)

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 d
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Approx 1, 2, and 4 h after dosing and daily thereafter for 14 d.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Gross post mortem examinations were performed on all animals which died or were found dead during the study. All animals surviving at termination of the observation period (Day 14) were killed by an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbital and examined grossly. All abnormalities were recorded hut no tissues were saved.
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs, body weight

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:

No

Clinical signs:

other: No

Other findings:

All animals exhibited well-defined to severe erythema with moderate or severe edema at 24 h. Two animals exhihited eschar at the dosing site
at terminal necropsy. Several animals exhibited nasal and/or oral or ocular discharge during the 14 d post-dose period. A single animal exhibited decreased food consumption and fecal staining of the abdomen at 24 h only.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: EU CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the dermal LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >2,000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance, PETIA in rabbits according to the EPA 40 CFR Part 163.81-2. A single dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw was administered at a dose volume of 1.7 mL/kg bw to ten rabbits (six males and four females). Following approximately 24 h of exposure, the wrappings were removed and the test site wiped free of excess test substance. After 30 min, dermal observations were made. No mortality occurred and most animals gained weight in the 14 d period after dosing although one male and one female exhibited weight loss. All animals showed well-defined to severe erythema with moderate or severe edema at 24 h. In two animals, eschar was seen at the dosing site at terminal necropsy. Several animals had nasal and/or oral or ocular discharge during the 14 d post-dose period. A single animal exhibited decreased food consumption and fecal staining of the abdomen at 24 h only. Under the study conditions, the dermal LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >2,000 mg/kg bw in rabbits (Auletta, 1980).
