Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The Primary Irritation Index after 24, 72 hours for 2-ethylanthraquinone was 0.15.
Based on the score and scale of interpretation of PII scores, 2-Ethylanthraquinone (CAS No: 84-51-5) can be considered not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of 2-ethylanthraquinone (CAS No: 84-51-5) was evaluated in albino rabbits according to the Draize method. 6 albino New Zealand rabbits (3/sex) were used for the study. 0.5 ml (0.5 g) of the test material was applied to clipped areas of intact and abraded skin.

The abrasions were longitudinal epidermal incisions sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum, but not so deep as to destroy the integrity of the derma. Applications were made under occlusive patches (1" x 1" gauze, covered by adhesive tape). Following application of 2-ethylanthraquinone the entire trunk of each animal was covered with an impermeable occlusive wrapping. The animals were then immobilized. The wrapping and test material were removed 24 hours following application. The sites were individually examined and scored separately for erythema and edema at 24 and 72 hours. The mean scores for 24 and 72 hours grading were averaged to determine final irritation indices.

 The Primary Irritation Index after 24, 72 hours for 2-ethylanthraquinone was 0.15. Based on the score and scale of interpretation of PII scores, 2-Ethylanthraquinone (CAS No: 84-51-5) can be considered not irritating to skin.
