Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The potential of RC9927 to cause inflammatory or corrosive changes upon first contact with skin was assessed by semi-occluded application of 0.5 ml of the test material to the closely-clipped dorsa of 3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits for four hours. Dermal reactions were assessed according to Draize 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressings.
GLP compliance:
yes

Any other information on results incl. tables

Very slight erythema was observed at 3 test sites one hour after removal of the dressings, and in one animal only at the 24 -hour examination. No other changes were apparent.

all dermal irritation responses had resolved by the 48 -hour examination.

The control sites did not show any response to the control procedure.

Very slight erythema was observed at 3 test sites one hour after removal of the dressings, and in one animal only at the 24 -hour examination. No other changes were apparent. All dermal irritation responses had resolved by the 48 -hour examination.

The control sites did not show any response to the control procedure.

Under the conditions of this test, RC9927 was not irritating to the skin.
