Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Vienna White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
2 male White Vienna rabbits,
mean body weight 3.4 kg
standard diets and water ad libitum
Source: GAUKLER, Offenbach, FRG

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin
Amount / concentration applied:
ca. 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
5 min or 2 h
Observation period:
Excess TS was washed off (Lutrol/water). Skin reactions were examined 24 & 48 h and 8 days post treatment.
Number of animals:
2
Details on study design:
A patch (2.5 x 2.5 cm²) soaked with TS was placed to the shaved, intact dorsal skin. It was covered with an inert foil and held in place by an adhesive tape (only 2 h). Contact periods were 5 minutes and 2 hours. Skin reactions were scored according to the table of Draize contained in the OECD TG 404.

Irritation
Contact period 5 minutes:
Erythema: moderate to severe erythema at 24 and 48 hrs post
treatment developed into slight desquamation until day 8 in
both animals.
Edema: well defined at 24 and 48 hrs post treatment, absent
on day 8 post treatment in both animals.

Contact period 2 hours:
Erythema: moderate to severe erythema at 24 and 48 hrs post
treatment developed into superficial necrosis until
day 8 in both animals.
Edema: well defined at 24 and 48 hrs post treatment, slight
edema on day 8 post treatment in both animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Score of erythema and edema were 2-3 in two rabbits 24 and 48 h after application of 0.5 mL undiluted test substance and occlusive exposure for 2 h.
Superficial necroses developed within 8 days following application.
Executive summary:

Two White Vienna rabbits receiced 0.5 mL undiluted test substance on the shaved skin. The exposure duration was 2 h under occlusive conditions (then washing off). The skin reactions were examined 24 & 48 h and 8 days post treatment. Score of erythema and edema were 2-3 in two rabbits 24 and 48 h after application, the effects were not reversible; superficial necroses developed within 8 days following application.
