TEST ANIMALS

- Weight at study initiation: 2-3kg

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE

- Area of exposure: clipped, intact skin of the trunk

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

- Washing (if done): After the contact period, excess fluid was removed.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
8.0, 4.0 and 2.0 ml/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5/sex/dose, except only 3 females dosed at 8.0 ml/kg bw (due to insufficient amount of test article)
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing:  Observations for skin reaction were made at one hour, 7 days and 14 days after the contact period. Body weights were recorded on day 0 (before application), 7 and 14 (prior to termination). 

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other:  At necropsy, each animal was subjected to gross pathologic evaluation.
Statistics:
LD50's were calculated by the moving average method (Thompson, 1947) and are based on a 14-day observation period.

Remarks on result:
other: equivalent to 3760 mg/kg bw based on relative density of 0.94 g/cm3
Mortality:
Most deaths occurred at one to 5 days (one rabbit died at 8 days).   
Clinical signs:
other: FEMALES: 8 ml/kg bw : sluggishness, unsteady gait at 3 minutes; marked sluggishness at 15 minutes; prostration at 2 hours. 4 ml/kg bw: Sluggishness, unsteady gait, lacrimation at 17 minutes; unkempt appearance, brown perianal discharge at 1 day. Survivors
Gross pathology:
At necropsy, lungs appeared red and mottled in animals that died.  A few livers were mottled or had red or white foci in animals that died.  No remarkable findings were noted in survivors.  
Other findings:
- Other observations: Skin reaction included erythema, ecchymosis and desquamation. Discomfort, sluggishness, unsteady gait, and prostration were observed.  Survivors recovered at 2 to 3 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the acute dermal toxicity study, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 402 without information about GLP compliance, an LD50 (rabbit) values of 3.36 ml/kg bw for females and 4 ml/kg bw for males (equivalent to 3158 and 3760 mg/kg bw, respectively, based on relative density of 0.94 g/cm3) were determined.
