Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Six young adult New Zealand White rabbits (4 males, 2 females), obtained from Mohican Valley Rabbitry, Loundonville,Ohio, were used in this study. The animals were individually housed in suspended stainless steel cages in an environment-controlled room with a 12–h light/dark cycle. Agway Prolab rabbit ration and fresh water were provided to each animal ad libitum. The rabbits were individually identified using plastic ear tags and cage cards. All animals were allowed to acclimate to the laboratory environment for a minimum of 5 d prior to initiation of the study.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 g of the test substance (moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 h

Observation period:

1, 24, 48 and 72 h

Number of animals:

6

Details on study design:

On the day prior to dosing, the fur was clipped from the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal using small animal clipper. Care was taken during clipping to avoid accidental abrasion to the skin. On the following day, the animals were weighed (animal weight ranged from 2.0-2.6kg) and two test sites measuring approx 1 inch x 1 inch were selected on the exposed skin of each rabbit. A dose of 0.5 g of the test substance (moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water) was applied to the designated sites on each rabbit. Immediately after applying the test substance on each animal, a gauze patch was placed over the treated sites and secured to the adjacent skin, using nonirritating tape. A tubular stockinette sleeve (semi-occlusive binding) was then positioned around the trunk of the animal and this was positioned around the cut edges using tape. After an exposure period of 4 h, the stockinette sleeve and patches were removed from each animal. The test sites on each animal were then rinsed with distilled water to remove residual test substance. The test sites were examined for signs of erythema and edema at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h. All animals were sacrificed using T–61 euthanasia solution and discarded after completion of each animal’s final scoring interval.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this test, MON 13900 is considered a negligible irritant to the skin of the rabbit with a primary dermal index of 0.15.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the potential skin irritation and/or corrosion effects of MON 13900 in rabbits according to OECD Guideline 404, EPA OPP 81-5 and EU Method B.4 in compliance with GLP.

The test substance was applied as a 0.5 g dose (moistened with 0.5 mL distilled water) to two clipped dermal sites on six New Zealand white rabbits. The substance was held in place under a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 h, after which the dressing was removed. Any remaining test substance was wiped from the skin using gauze and distilled water. The test sites were examined and scored for dermal irritation at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h. Exposure to the test substance produced slight erythema in 4/6 rabbits at the 1 h time point. All dermal irritation had resolved by 24 h post-application.

Under the conditions of the study, the test substance produced only minor irritation to skin, with a primary dermal index (PDII) of 0.15.
