Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intradermal:
Two animals were administered intradermal injections (2 injection / animal) of a 5% v/v concentration of test substance in propylene glycol, one on either side of the spinal column. The concentration tested did not produce extensive tissue damage or severe systemic toxicity.

Topical:
4 animals were tested at 4 different concentrations (25, 50, 75% v/v; 100%) per animal (one concentration/site), two on either side of the spinal column. 24 h and 48 h after removal of the patches no signs of erythema and edema were observed for at any of the concentration tested.

MAIN STUDY

Epicutaneous: test substance in propylene glycol

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections)
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/ water

Epicutaneous: propylene glycol

- Site: shoulder region (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: Days 1-8
- Concentrations: Intradermal 5%, epicutaneous 100%
