Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Housing: The animal was singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging with mesh floors which conform to the size recommendations in the most recent Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals DHEW (NIH). Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times per week.

Animal Room Temperature: 19-21°C
Relative Humidity: see Section 9
Photoperiod: 12-hour light/dark cycle
Acclimation Period: 8 days
Feed: Purina Certified High Fiber Rabbit Diet (PMI #5325).
Water: Filtered tap water was supplied ad-libitum by an automatic water dispensing
system.

Contaminants: There were no known contaminants reasonably expected to be found in the food or water at levels which would have interfered with the results of this study. Analysis of the water is conducted at least once a year and the records are kept on file at Eurofins | Product Safety Laboratories. The most recent analysis was conducted in September 2006.
Purina Certified High Fiber Rabbit Diet, PMI #5325, Lot Number:
JUL 08 06 3A, was analyzed in July 2006.

Cage: The cage was identified with a cage card indicating at least the study number and identification and sex of the animal.
Animal: A number was allocated to the rabbit on receipt and a stainless steel ear tag bearing this number was attached to the animal. This number, together with a sequential animal number assigned to study 20361, constituted unique identification.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 ml of neat test substance was applied to the dose site (6 cm2 in dimension)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

1 hour

Observation period:

The study was terminated at the 1 hour time point due to necrosis

Number of animals:

1, Female. The animal assigned to test was nulliparous and non-pregnant.

Details on study design:

Initial testing was conducted on one rabbit to determine the irritation/corrosion potential of the test substance. Three test sites, each approximately 6-cm2, were delineated on this rabbit. Five-tenths of a milliliter of the test substance was applied to each dose site and covered with a 1-inch x 1-inch, 4- ply gauze pad. The pad and entire trunk of each animal were then wrapped with semi-occlusive 3- inch Micropore tape to avoid dislocation of the patch. The patches were removed at the appropriate intervals (3 minutes and 1-hour). The test sites were evaluated for corrosion 30-60 minutes after patch removal. Due to corrosion at the 1-hour test site, the 4-hour patch was removed at the same time as the 1-hour patch.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Substance was corrosive after 1 hour of exposure

Any other information on results incl. tables

The animal appeared active and healthy during the study. Apart from the skin irritation/corrosion noted below, there were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse clinical signs, or abnormal behavior. One hour after patch removal, from the 3-minute dose site, well-defined erythema and slight edema were noted. Severe erythema, slight edema, and corrosion were noted at the 1-hour site one hour after patch removal. Due to corrosion noted at the 1-hour test site, the study was terminated and the animal was euthanized for humane reasons.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

corrosive

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, XU-12314.00 caused corrosion to the skin when applied for one
hour.

Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation test was conducted with a single rabbit to determine the potential for XU- 12314.00 to produce irritation and/or corrosion after topical application. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance was corrosive to the skin. Initially, one rabbit was tested to determine the irritation/corrosion potential of the test substance. Three test sites, each approximately 6-cm2, were delineated on this animal. Five-tenths of a milliliter of the test substance was applied to each dose site and covered with a 1-inch x 1-inch, 4-ply gauze pad. The pad and entire trunk of the animal was then wrapped with semi-occlusive 3-inch Micropore tape to avoid dislocation of the patches. The patches were removed at the appropriate intervals (3 minutes and 1- hour). The test sites were evaluated for corrosion 60 minutes after patch removal. Due to corrosion at the 1-hour test site, the 4-hour patch was removed at the same time as the 1-hour patch. The 3-minute and 1- hour test sites were also evaluated for skin irritation according to the Draize1 scoring system at 60 minutes after the patch removal. Since corrosion was noted at the 1-hour test site, the study was terminated and the animal was euthanized for humane reasons. One hour after patch removal, well-defined erythema and slight edema were noted at the 3-minute dose site. Severe erythema, slight edema, and corrosion were noted at the 1-hour site one hour after patch removal. Due to corrosion noted at the 1-hour test site, the study was terminated and the animal was euthanized for humane reasons.
