Details on study design:
PRELIMINARY STUDY
Preliminary tests were carried out to determine suitable concentrations for induction and challenge. The concentrations in a dose of 0.5 g (50%) and 0.5 mL (25%, 12.5% and 6%) were tested. The concentrations were applied on the left flanks of three animas in succession. The exposure was terminated after 6 h by removing the plaster and cleaning the skin with propylene glycol 20%.

DOSE FINDING
The non-irritating concentrations for the challenge were checked in five animals of the control group (treated with the vehicle one week before the 1st challenge). The concentrations applied on the right flank in a dose of 0.5 mL were 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The exposure was terminated after 6 h by removing the plaster and cleaning the skin with propylene glycol 20%. 24 and 48 hours later, dermal effects were evaluated.

Any other information on results incl. tables

PRELIMINARY STUDY

In the preliminary study no reaction of the test substance was observed up to 50% in the test animals. According to the author a solution of 25% was considered the minimal irritating concentration. The concentration chosen for the induction period was 25%.

DOSE FINDING

The tested solutions did not provoke any skin reactions at the 5 dose finding animals. The concentration chosen for challenge was 20%.

MAIN STUDY

Induction readings:

1 hour after the 3rd induction, three animals of the control group (15 animals: 10 control animals plus 5 animals out of the dose finding group) and four animals of the treatment group showed weak skin reactions. Only for one animal out of the treatment group slight skin reactions were observed after 24 hours (see Table 2).

Challenge readings:

24 hours after challenge application, 2/20 animals of the treatment group (10%) and 2/10 animals of the control group (20%) showed slight dermal effects (see Table 3 and Table 4). After 48 hours, 8/20 animals of the treatment group (40%) and 2/10 animals of the control group (20%) showed slight skin reactions. Only for one treated animal (5%) weak skin reactions were observed after 48 hours. After 72 hours no skin reactions were observed in any animal.
