- Frequency of weighing: Pre-fast, post-fast, day 7 and day 14.
Animals which did not survive were weighed at the time of death or at the time when they were found dead.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: 1 male died on day 12.

Mortality:

1 male rabbit (no. 5) died on day 12 of the 14-day observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: Decreased activity and ataxia were seen in all animals after dosing. Redness of the back was seen in 4 males and 5 females. Diarrhoea and/or soft stools was seen in some animals. 1 male had a bloody nose caused by thrashing in the cage after wrapping.

Gross pathology:

The following findings were were seen in several animals : pale and/or granular spleen; pale kidneys.
The following findings were were seen in individual animals: mottled or pale lungs; granular or mottled/pale liver.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute dermal LD50 of dihydro dicyclopentadiene was greater than 2000 mg/kg to male and female rabbits, following application to abraded skin.

Executive summary:

Groups of 5 male and 5 female New Zealand white rabbits rats were dosed with 2000 mg/kg of dihydrodicycolpentadiene as a 24- hour dermal application to abraded skin (under a semi-occlusive dressing) and were observed daily for 14 days after dosing. One male died on day 12 of the observation period. Decreased activity and ataxia was seen in all animals after dosing and redness of the back was seen in 4 males and 5 females. Diarrhoea and/or soft stools were seen in some animals. Weight loss or reduced weight gain was seen in 3/5 males and all females over the 14-day observation period. Gross necropsy findings, seen in several animals, included pale and/or granular spleen and/or pale kidneys. The LD₅₀ was greater than 2000 mg/kg to rabbits following dermal application to abraded skin.
