Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Sodium erythorbate powder (2000 mg/kg) was applied to the intact and abraded skin of six rabbits. Each test site was moistened with physiological saline just prior to dosing. After application of the test material, the exposure area was covered with a double layer of surgical gauze and a piece of rubber dam. The trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in a stockinette, which was secured to the body with tape. The dressings were removed after 24 hour, and the amount of residual sample and signs of localized irritation were noted. The exposure area was cleaned by thorough wiping, and the rabbits were observed for signs of toxicity for 48 and 72 hrs and 14 days.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- A substantial amount of residual compound was observed 24 hours after dosing. No erythema, edema, or other signs of dermal irritation were observed at five of six test sites. One rabbit (abraded skin) had slight (1+) erythema at 24 hours that cleared by 48 hours (COLIPA 1982).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In this study, 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lacton is not a dermal irritant.
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study, 6 rabbits were dermally exposed to 2000 mg/kg 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (test site moistened with physiological saline) to intact and abraded skin. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
No erythema, edema, or other signs of dermal irritation were observed at five of six test sites. One rabbit (abraded skin) had slight erythema at 24 hours that cleared by 48 hours. In this study, 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lacton is not a dermal irritant.
