Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The compound was applied as a 75% dilution in corn oil to the closely clipped intact skin of a male or female albino rabbit. 
A leather collar had previously been placed around the neck of each animal to prevent it from turning its head sufficiently 
to get at the sample; observations were made for toxic symptoms and the viscera of those animals that succumbed was 
examined macroscopically.  Exposure duration: no data; Post observation period: no data
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
other: no data

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
other: skin absorption MLD
Effect level:
ca. 6 000 - ca. 8 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality <= 6000 mg/kg bw
After the application of 8000 mg/kg bw the animal died overnight. 
Clinical signs:
The animals squealed and jumped around their cages for ten to fifteen minutes at the higher dosage levels (no further information available). Ocular and nasal irritation from the vapors appeared to be a factor in this reaction. 
Body weight:
no data
Gross pathology:
At autopsy the viscera appeared normal by macroscopic examination excepting for pulmonary hyperemia.
Other findings:
A decrease in appetite and activity for several days was observed. Muscular coordination was markedly affected.
