Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: To determine the possible dermal irritation of Aledronate Sodium a bone resorption inhibitor, when applied to skin of rabbits for 24 hours.
- Short description of test conditions: A testto determine the skin irritation caused by application of the neat test substance onto shaved and abraded skin of 3 rabbits.
- Parameters analysed / observed: The rabbits were observed daily for systemtic toxicity and mortality, as well as dermal examinations were scored according to the Draize Method.
GLP compliance:
yes

Irritant / corrosive response data:
MK-0217 in 24 hours produced well-defined erythema on 2 intact sites and slight edema on 1 site. One rabbit had no signs on the intact site after 24 hours. The incidence and severity of these signs generally increased and all sites had erythema and edema by Day 3. By Day 8 through Day 14 all intact sites had moderate to severe erythema with slight edema observed on 2 sites and moderate edema observed on the third. Wrinkling of several sites was seen starting Day 7 to Day 0 until Day 12, while scaling was observed from Day 10 to Day 14.

Other effects:
- Other adverse systemic effects: MK-0217 produced no observable systemic toxicity throughout the duration of the study.
