not specified

Total recovery:

- 112 +/- 3% of the administered dose

Percutaneous absorption

Dose:

2.57-2.95 µCi/rat

Parameter:

percentage

Absorption:

0 %

Remarks on result:

other: 24 hours

Remarks:

1.9 +/- 0.4 µCi were detectable in skin samples

Any other information on results incl. tables

- No radioactivity above background levels were detectable in blood, urine and liver.

- The total dermally administered dose could be accounted for by the radioactivity at the site of application and on the patch and pipet tip.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test item was not absorbed by rats after dermal application.

Executive summary:

Radioactive labelled test item was applied to male rats on the shaved skin of the mid-dorsal area for 24 hours under occlusive conditions. No test item was detected in blood, urine and liver on the first day after exposure. Radioactivity detected at the site of application and on the patch and pipet tip accounted for the entire applied dose. These data indicate, that the test item is not absorbed by rats after dermal application.
