Irritant / corrosive response data:
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times ( 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for eryherma/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean eryherma/eschar score of the three animals was 2.00, 2.00 amd 1.67, respectively and the mean oedema score was 1.33, 1.00 and 1.00, respectively.

Well-defined erythema was observed in all animals 1 hour after treatment and persisted in two animals up to the 72-hour reading and in the other animal up to 48-hour reading. In addition, very slight erythema was evident in one animal at the 72-hour reading and in the other two animals at both the 7- and 10- day readings.

Very slight to slight swelling was noted at the test site of all animals from 1 to 72 hours after treatment.

Scaling was first observed at the test site of one animal 72 hours after treatment and in the other two animals 7 das after treatment. This finding was still present on all animals on test day 14 at termination.
Other effects:
No staining by the test item of the treated skin was observed.
No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

Executive summary:

In an in vivo study, conducted to GLP, according to the OECD Guideline 404, undiluted Super Muguet (0.5 mL) was applied to the skin of 3 New Zealand White Rabbits for 4 hours.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times ( 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for eryherma/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean eryherma/eschar score of the three animals was 2.00, 2.00 amd 1.67, respectively and the mean oedema score was 1.33, 1.00 and 1.00, respectively.
