TEST ANIMALS
- Details on strain: Wistar / Crl:WI (Han) SPF
- Source: Charles River Wiga GmbH, Sandhofer Weg 7, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: approx. 9 weeks (males) and 13 weeks (females), respectively
- Weight at study initiation: mean (males): 273.0 ± 6.63g; mean (females): 225.8 ± 3.19g
- Fasting period before study: Feed was withdrawn from the animals at least 16 hours before administration, but water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: single housing in Makrolon cage, type III
- Diet (ad libitum): VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany
- Water (ad libitum): Tap water
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 22°C ± 3°C
- Humidity: 30 – 70%
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
deionized water
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: clipped epidermis (dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk)
- % coverage: about 40 cm² (corresponds to at least 10% of the body surface)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: rinsing of the application site with warm water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 5.71 mL/kg bw
- Concentration (if solution): 35 g/100 mL
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: no
- Form of application: solution in deionized water
- Test item preparation and homogenization: For better handling the test item was ground with mortar and pestle. The test item preparation was produced shortly before application by stirring with a magnetic stirrer.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals/sex/dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: A check for any dead or moribund animals was made at least once each workday.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed:
Clinical signs: Recording of clinical signs several times on the day of administration, and at least once daily thereafter each workday for the individual animals.

Scoring of skin findings: Individual readings 30 – 60 minutes after removal of the semi-occlusive dressing (day 1), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation.
The evaluation of skin reactions was performed according to Draize, J.H. (1959): Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics. The association of food and drug officials of the United States Austin, Texas.

Body weight: Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation.

Pathology: Necropsy with gross-pathology examination on the last day of the observation period after sacrifice with CO2 in a chamber with increasing concentrations over time.

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:
No systemic clinical signs were observed during clinical examination.
Body weight:
Males:
The mean body weight of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period.

Females:
The mean body weight of the female animals did not significantly change during the first post-exposure observation week, probably due to the bandage procedure, but increased during the second week within the normal range.
Gross pathology:
There were no macroscopic pathological findings in the animals sacrificed at the end of observation period.
Other findings:
Local effects:
No local effects were observed.
