Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
yes
Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
The stability of the test item in olive oil DAB 10 over 26 hours was confirmed by analysis. In addition, analysis was performed to verify the correctness of the concentrations of the test substance preparations. The content of the active ingredient was determined by combining the results of Chiral HPLC analysis and packed column GC analysis. The analysis of the test substance preparations in olive oil were determined by Reversed Phase HPLC (stability analysis in olive oil) and by HPLC with UV-Detection (concentration control analysis).

Mecoprop-P 2-EHE was applied 5 days per week for 6 hours to the clipped intact dorsal skin (at least 10 % of the body surface area) of Wistar rats over a period of 4 weeks (21 applications) using a semi occlusive dressing.

Examinations

Observations and examinations performed and frequency:

- Time schedule: twice a day, before and after exposure
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: twice a day on weekdays and once on weekends
DERMAL IRRITATION: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: recorded daily, about 30 min after removal of the dressing
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: once every week
FOOD CONSUMPTION: Yes
- Food consumption for each animal determined and mean daily diet consumption calculated as g food/kg body weight/day
HAEMATOLOGY: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood: taken in the morning
- Anesthetic used for blood collection: No
- Animals fasted: Yes

- Parameters: leucocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, platelets, clotting analysis
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood: taken in the morning
- Animals fasted: Yes
- How many animals:5 animals per test group and sex (same as for hematology)
- Parameters checked: Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, serum-gamma-glutamyltransferase, sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphate, calcium, urea, creatinine, glucose, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, globulins, triglycerides, cholesterol, and magnesium
Sacrifice and pathology:
GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
Statistics:
For body weight non-parametric one-way analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group was carried out. This comparison was performed via the Mann-Withney U-test for hypothesis of equal medians. Both tests were performed two-sided. For all parameters, except the differential blood counts, a non-parametric one-way analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group was carried out. This comparison was performed via the MANN-WITHNEY U-test for the hypothesis of equal medians. Both tests were performed two-sided.

Description (incidence and severity):
Body weight gain in test animals was comparable with that seen in controls.

no effects observed
Food efficiency:
not examined
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):

Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
no effects observed
Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
There were some statistically significant inter-group differences in the results of the clinical pathology testing. These deviations are marginal, sporadic or incidental, inconsistent, when compared with the other sex, or lack dosage-relationship. Accordingly, these findings are considered to be of ne toxicological significance.
Neuropathological findings:
not examined
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
no effects observed
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

Any other information on results incl. tables

The stability of the test substance in olive oil DAB 10 over a time interval of 26 hours was verified by analysis. The concentration control analysis yielded 96.5% and 100% of the nominal content for the 1.5g/100 mL and 15g/100 mL samples, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOAEL of MCPP-P 2-EHE for male and female rats after repeated dermal application for 4 weeks is 1000 mg/kg bw/day for systemic and local effects, the highest dose level investigated.
Executive summary:

An OECD TG 410 study under GLP conditions was performed to assess the dermal toxicity after repeated application of MCPP-P 2-EHE on rat skin over a period of 4 weeks. The unchanged test item was applied on clipped skin in concentrations of 1000, 150 or 15 mg/kg bw/day to 5 male and 5 female rats per dose. The frequency of treatment was 5 days per week for 6 hours. The test substance did not produce local irritation. No substance-related change in hematology and clinical chemistry was observed. In the clinical examinations, no substance-induced changes could be observed in all test groups. No treatment-related significant difference in absolute or relative weight parameters and no treatment-related gross lesions or microscopic findings were observed. The NOAEL of MCPP-P 2-EHE in this study is 1000 mg/kg bw/day for systemic and local effects for male and female rats.
