- The mean scores of erythema and edema were calculated from the grades and the category of the test article was assigned with reference to the GHS guidelines below:
- Details on test system:
- 1. Initial test
An initial test using one animal was performed. The test article was sequentially applied to the animal 3 times as follows: The first patch was applied to the first site and removed after about 3 minutes. The second patch was applied to a different site and removed after about 1 hour. The third patch was applied to a different site and removed after about 4 hours and the skin reaction was observed. An untreated skin area, a control site, was set in the same animal. There was no erythema, edema, or corrosion. After removing the third patch, the skin reaction was observed about 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal and additional observations were made for 14 days including the day of administration.
2. Confirmatory test
A confirmatory test was done using two animals since no skin reaction or corrosion was observed in the initial test. One patch was applied per animal and removed after 4 hours. A patch of gauze without test article was applied to the control site of each animal and removed after 4 hours. After removing the patches, the skin reaction was observed about 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal and additional observations were made for 14 days including the day of administration. - Control samples:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
- Amount/concentration applied:
- 0.5 mL/site
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- About twenty-four hours before the test article administration, the dorsal skin was shaved by electric hair clipper without damaging the skin. On the day of administration, a 0.5 mL aliquot of test article was soaked onto patches of 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm gauze and the gauze which was put on the skin of the test article site. The gauze was secured with non-permeable and non-irritating adhesive dressing to prevent evaporation of the test article.
A confirmatory test was done using two animals since no skin reaction or corrosion was observed in the initial test. One patch was applied per animal and removed after 4 hours. A patch of gauze without test article was applied to the control site of each animal and removed after 4 hours. After removing the patches, the skin reaction was observed about 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal and additional observations were made for 14 days including the day of administration. - Number of replicates:

- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- 1. Environmental conditions and monitoring
This study was performed in barriered animal Room No. 11 on the 1st floor of Research Bldg. #1 in the Nonclinical Research Institute, Chemon Inc. Environmental controls were set to maintain following conditions: temperature range of 19 ± 3 °C, relative humidity range of 55 ± 15 %, ventilation of 10-20 air changes/hr, 150-300 Lux of luminous intensity, and a 12-hr light/12-hr dark cycle. Throughout the study period, temperature and humidity of the room were measured hourly by computer-based automatic sensors and environmental conditions such as ventilation frequency and luminous intensity were monitored on a regular basis. According to the results of environmental monitoring during the housing period, mean daily temperature of was 18.4-20.5 °C and mean daily relative humidity was 57.0-62.6 %, and there were no environmental deviations that could affect this study.
2. Diet, water, and contaminants
Animals were provided pellet food for rabbits (Cargill Agri Purina, Inc.) purchased from Biopia (207, Sinsan building, 508, Beonyeong-ro, Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea), ad libitum. According to the certificates on diet components and contaminants supplied by the diet provider, there was no factor that could affect this study. Groundwater was disinfected by ultraviolet sterilizer and ultrafiltration and made available via water bottle ad libitum. Water was analyzed by the authorized Gyeonggido Institute of Health & Environment (62 Chilbo-ro 1 beon-gil, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea) and quality satisfied the standards for drinking water.
3. Cages and housing
Animals were individually housed in stainless steel cages (W 550 × L 680 × H 405 mm) during the whole housing period.

- 1. Initial test
An initial test using one animal was performed. The test article was sequentially applied to the animal 3 times as follows: The first patch was applied to the first site and removed after about 3 minutes. The second patch was applied to a different site and removed after about 1 hour. The third patch was applied to a different site and removed after about 4 hours and the skin reaction was observed. An untreated skin area, a control site, was set in the same animal.
2. Confirmatory test
A confirmatory test was done using two animals since no skin reaction or corrosion was observed in the initial test. One patch was applied per animal and removed after 4 hours. A patch of gauze without test article was applied to the control site of each animal and removed after 4 hours. - Observation period:
- In the initial test, skin reactions were graded after removing the patch at about 3 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours after application of the test article. In the case of the confirmatory test, patches were removed after about 4 hours and the skin was washed gently with sterile Distilled water for Injection to remove any remaining test article.
1. Initial test
Erythema & Eschar formations : 0.05, 1, 4, 24, 48, 72 hrs
Edema : 0.05, 1, 4, 24, 48, 72 hrs
2. Confirmatory test
Erythema & Eschar formations : 1, 24, 48, 72
Edema : 1, 24, 48, 72 - Number of animals:
- Initial test of number : 1 ea
Confirmatory test of number : 2 ea - Details on study design:
- In the initial test, skin reactions were graded after removing the patch at about 3 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours after application of the test article. In the case of the confirmatory test, patches were removed after about 4 hours and the skin was washed gently with sterile Distilled water for Injection to remove any remaining test article. Macroscopic grading of erythema, edema, bleeding, and eschar formation were performed at about 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the patches. Edema was evaluated by a combination of observation by naked eye and palpation. Grading of skin reactions were performed according to the table below. For the initial test in one animal, the test site was examined immediately after the patch had been removed.
