Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
other: distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure, pretreatement: Approximately 24 hours before treatment an area on the back of the rat of at least 10% of the body surface was shaved with an electric clipper.
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap if used: The required amount of the test substance was evenly dispersed on the skin. It was covered with a gauze lined semiocclusive dressing, which was fastened around the trunk with an adhesive elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes with lukewarm water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bw
- Concentration (if solution): n.a.
- Constant volume or concentration used: n.a.
- For solids, paste formed: yes

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): no data, however vehicle distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80 was used in an amount sufficient to form a paste only
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily on working days, once on weekend days
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 7, 14 and at death
Clinical signs: daily
Necropsy: Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a group necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.
Observation period: 14 days
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
