SCORING SYSTEM:

Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema (barely perceptible) = 0
Very slight erythema = 1
Well-defined erythema = 2
Moderate to severe erythema = 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) preventing erythma reading = 4

Oedema formation:
No Oedema = 0
Very slight Oedema (barely perceptible) = 1
Slight Oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) = 2
Moderate to severe Oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) = 3
Severe Oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) = 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
A single semi-occlusive application of PD 132408 to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the skin irritation potential of PD 132408 to the rabbit. The method followed was that described in ECC Methods for the determination of toxicity. The rabbits were each administered a single dermal dose of 0.5 g of the test substance and observed for four days. No dermal reactions were observed in any animal following a single semi-occlusive application of PD 132408 to intact rabbit skin for four hours.
