Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of (Benzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetic acid was tested in male and female Wistar rats.

Based on the individual body weight, the test item at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was weighed on an aluminium foil and made into a paste by adding sufficient volume of the Milli-Q water and completely transferred on to a cotton gauze (size: Males: 9 x 6 cm; Females: 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply) and applied directly to the clipped skin of the animal to cover about 10% of body surface of the animal. It was secured in position by adhesive tape wound around the torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours. After the 24 hour contact period, the dressing was removed and the applied area was washed with water using clean towel and wiped dry with a cotton hand towel.

All the rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality for 14 days post application. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and mortality. All rats gained weight during experimental period except few rats wherein the 8thday body weights were slightly decreased. At the end of observation period, all surviving animals were euthanized and subjected to necropsy. There were no abnormalities detected at the necropsy.

Based on the present study results, the acute dermal LD50 of (Benzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetic acidis greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight in male and female Wistar rats.
