Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

no mortality occured

Clinical signs:

No systemic signs were observed in the animals during the entire observation period.
Local symptoms: all animals had a discoulored skin (yellow), and 1 male showes scales at the back. All animals had recovered from the local signs after 8 observation days.

Body weight:

One female lost slightly weight between day 1 and 8 of the test period. The body weight gain of the further animals was not affected throughout the
study by test article treatment.

Gross pathology:

No macroscopical organ findings were observed in the animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Well defined erythema (grade 2) was observed in all animals after 24 hours, as well as in 4/6 animals at 48 and 72 hours. After 24, 48 and 72 hours, the erythema scores were 2.0, 1.7 and 1.7, respectively (intact skin). Except for one slight edema (grade 2) in one male after 48 hours, only very slight edema (grade 1) was observed in some animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours. After 24, 48 and 72 hours, the edema scores were 1.0, 0.7 and 0.5, respectively (intact skin). The total of all scores, i.e. for intact AND abraded skin, was 9.3. The primary irritation index (for abraded AND intact skin) was 2.33, which was listed as being in the moderate range (2.1-4.0). All effects were fully reversible within 7 days (all scores: 0.0). There was no staining of the treated skin.
