Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
Undiluted o-Toluidine was applied on a cotton pad (2.5cmx2.5cm) for application on the skin
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hour(s)
Observation period:
After application of patch: 24h, 48h, 72h and 7 days and 8 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
Each animal received two applications of the test material. One on the intact skin of the right flank and the other one on the scarified skin of the left flank. 24h, post application, the skin of the animals were washed with water. The assessment of the dermal changes was based on the OECD Draize scoring method. Moreover, the animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The treatment led to slight or moderate erythema and moderate edema in 5/6 animals up to 72h and 24h after start of the application, respectively. At 72 h after application, the same five animals exhibited scaling, which persisted till day 8 of the study. Necrosis (soft, parchment like or leathery) was observed in one animal till the termination of the study. The clinical finding of the necrosis was confirmed by macroscopic pathology.

Other effects:
Systematic Toxicity: No mortality occurred. There were no clinical signs of systemic toxicity from the dermal exposure

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS-CLP
Executive summary:

BASF (1979)

Undiluted o-toluidine was applied to the intact and to the scarified skin of the flank of rabbits under occlusive conditions (according to Fed. Reg, 38, No, 187, §1500.41, p. 27029). Following the 24-hour treatment time the treated area was washed with water. Slight to moderate erythema and moderate edema of the intact skin were observed for 72 hours. At 72 hours these animals exhibited scaling, which was still observed on day 8. Necrosis was observed in 1/6 animals (intact skin).

Overall, o-toluidine was evaluated as skin irritating.
