- Acclimation period: at lest 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 °C+/-2 °C
- Humidity (%): 55%+/-15%
- Air changes (per hr): Approximately 15 to 20 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Artificial (fluorescent tubes), daily light/dark cycle of 12/12 hours

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: darsal surfaces of the trunk
- % coverage: approximately 10% of body surface
- Type of wrap if used: a patch of surgical gauze covered by a strip of synthetic film was placed over the treated site and the whole assembly held in place byencircling the trunk of the animal with a lenght of elastic adhesive bendage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): corn oil
- Time after start of exposure: approximately 24 hours (23.5 hours)

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg/body weight
- For solids, paste formed: yes, using 1 mL of sterile water

Duration of exposure:

Approximately 24 hours (23.5 hours)

Doses:

2000 mg/kg/body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 females

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were observed for clinical signs on dosing, approximately 1, 2, 4 hours hours after dosing on the day
of treatmnent and daily thereafter. All animals were weighed at allocation to the study (Day -1), on the day of dosing (Day 1) and on Days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, gross necropsy examination for both external and internal abnormalities, with particular attention to the treatment
site.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: Blue and/or yellow staining of the treated site was observed in all animals from Day 2 up to Day 15.

Gross pathology:

Yellow staining of the treatment site was observed during the external examination performed on all animals at termination of the study. In two
single occasions (animal nos. A0674004 and A0674005), also blue staining was noted. No internal abnormalities were seen at necropsy examination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

These results indicate that the test item, Disperse Blue ANT, has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a
level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of Disperse Blue ANT was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat followed by a 14-day observation period. A single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was administered to a group of 5 male and 5 female animals for 24 hours. After 14 days all animals were killed and subjected to necropsy examination. No mortality occurred and no signs of toxicity were observed in male or female animals during the observation period. Staining of the treatment site was seen during the entire observation period of the study starting from the day after dosing. The body weight changes observed during the study were within the expected range for this species and age of animals. Staining of the treatment site was found in all animals at termination of the study. No internal abnormalities were seen. These results indicate that the test item, Disperse Blue ANT, has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
