- Type of wrap if used: a secured two-ply gauze patch that was overwrapped with a gauze binder and secured with Dermiform® tape. Plastic restraint collars were applied and remained on the animals for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): wiped with disposable paper towels moistened with deionized water
- Time after start of exposure: at the end of 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
Dermal irritation was graded in accordance with the method of Draize:

Evaluation of Dermal Reactions

Value
Erythema and Eschar Formation

0 No erythema
1 Very slight erythema (barely perceptible, edges of area not well defined)
2 Slight erythema (pale red in color and edges definable)
3 Moderate to severe erythema (definite red in color and area well defined)
4 Severe erythema (beet or crimson red) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)


4 Total possible erythema score

Edema Formation

0 No edema
1 Very slight edema (barely perceptible, edges of area not well defined)
2 Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising)
3 Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm)
4 Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure)

4 Total possible erythema score
8 Total possible Primary Irritation Score

Other effects:
One female had a body weight loss of 129 grams (5%) from day 0 to day 3. A body weight loss of this magnitude is common in animals which have been bandaged and collared for four hours, and was not attributed to test material.
There were no other remarkable body weight changes during the study period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Very slight erythema was observed on a single male animal at 72 hours post-dose. There was no edema or other dermal findings. The irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4.
The primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0. The test material, Y-4036, received a descriptive rating classification of nonirritating.
Executive summary:

The primary dermal irritation potential of Y-4036 was evaluated in this study with New Zealand White rabbits.

Single 0.5 -ml doses of the test material were applied to the clipped, intact skin of six albino rabbits under semi-occlusive dressings for a four-hour exposure period. At completion of exposure, the bandages were removed and the sites washed. Application sites were evaluated in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 30 -60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal and on day 4 if irritation persisted.

Very slight erythema was observed on a single male animal at 72 hours post-dose. There was no edema or other dermal findings. The irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4.

The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0. The test material, Y-4036, received a descriptive ranting classification of nonirritanting.
