Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died in the course of the study. A single dermal application of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without compound-related clinical findings. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

A single dermal administration of the test substance to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, compound-related clinical findings, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. According to OECD TG 402 the dermal LD50 of ZK 28519 is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
