Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

1 500 - 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

All deaths occurred within 3 days of exposure.  Number of deaths at each dose: Intact skin 0/2, 1/2 and 2/2, abraded skin 0/2, 0/2 and 2/2. LD50(s) were as follows: Intact skin: 1.5 g/kg; Abraded skin: 1.5 - 2 g/kg; combined intact and abraded 1.5 - 2 g/kg. 

Clinical signs:

other: At the dose of 1g/kg there were no signs of toxicity. At higher dose levels some prostration was noted. Survivors appeared normal  72 hours after exposure. Animals at all dose levels showed erythema, wrinkling and desquamation of the application site.

Gross pathology:

In premature decedents there was some general deterioration but no dose-related lesions. Tissues of survivors sacrificed  at the end of the observation period were unremarkable.

Other findings:

No potential target organs were identified. The results were reported in combined form with no note on sex specific differences.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The rabbit dermal LD50 of Alfol 12 was between 1500 and 2000 mg/kg. All rabbits showed irritation of the application site immediately following exposure. Some prostration was observed in animals at the higher dose levels. Necropsy findings showed no treatment related lesions.
