Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Sex:
- male
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Male albino New Zealand strain rabbits, 3 to 5 months of age and averaging 2.5 kg in weight were immobilized in a hood to prevent inhalation of vapor during the 24-hour skin contact period. The rabbits were procured locally and maintained on Rockland rabbit ration.
Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- Male rabbits were immobilized in a hood to prevent inhalation of vapor during the 24-hour skin contact period. Thereafter, the polyethylene sheeting used to retain the dose in contact with the clipped skin of the trunk was removed and the animals were caged for the remainder of the 14-day observation period.
- Duration of exposure:
- 24 hour
- Doses:
- 1.25 or 2.5 ml/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 4/dose
- Control animals:
- no
- Statistics:
- The moving average method of calculating the LD50 was used.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 1.77 mL/kg bw
- Mortality:
- 3/4 died at 2.5 ml /kg and 1/4 died at 1.25 ml/kg
- Clinical signs:
- other: The covered applications caused marked erythema and necrosis of the skin which healed with scab formation.
- Gross pathology:
- Lungs of victims sometimes had petechial hemorrhages, livers were pale or mottled, kidneys pale as were also the stomachs.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- By skin penetration the LD50 for rabbits is 1.77 (1.09 to 2.86 ) ml/kg.
