> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality was observed in male or female rabbits dosed with API 78-9 at 5000 mg/kg.
Clinical signs:
other: No visible signs of clinical toxicity were observed in male and female rabbits dosed with API 78-9 at 5000 mg/kg
Gross pathology:
No lesions attributable to test material administration were observed throughout the study period and 14-day post exposure observation period.
Other findings:
Body weights of all male and female rabbits in the test and control groups appeared normal througout the study period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Dermal administration of API 78-9 at 5000 mg/kg did not result in any dermal irritation or signs of clinical toxicity. Gross necroscopy did not reveal any signs of systemic toxicity at the 5000 mg/kg dose level.

The acute dermal LD50 for API 78-9 is >5000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study, API 78-9 was administered to 4 New Zealand White rabbits/sex at a dose of 5000 mg/kg for 24 hours. Prior to application of the test material the exposure sites of four rabbits were abraded by making epidermal incisions. The remaining four rabbits were left unbraded. Another group of eight (4/sex) rabbits were used as control animals.

Behavioral reactions were monitored through the 24 -hour contact period. Mortality, clinical signs of toxicity, and behavioral abnormalities were observed for twice daily through the 14 -daypost exposure observation period. Body weight was recorded for all animals on Day 0, 7, and 14 of the study period. On Day 14 all animals were necropsied and observed for gross pathological changes.

Dermal administration of API 78-9 at 5000 mg/kg did not result in any dermal irritation or signs of clinical toxicity. Gross necroscopy did not reveal any signs of systemic toxicity at the 5000 mg/kg dose level.

The acute dermal LD50 for API 78-9 is >5000 mg/kg

This study is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted according to OECD guideline 402.
