Vehicle:

water

Duration of exposure:

24 hours followed by a 14 day post-dose observation period.

Details on study design:

12 young adult albino rabbits, 2 males/group for 0.25, 1.00, 4.00, or 8.00 g/kg bw groups and 3 males/1female/group for 16.00 g/kg bw group.
Dermally dosed as 25 - 60% aqueous pastes at 0.25, 1.00, 4.00, 8.00, or 16.00 g/kg bw to approximately 1 in^2 abraded area, covered with sleeves; 24 hour treatment.
Body weights were recorded prior to initiation of the study and on day 15. Gross necropsies were performed.
Morbidity, mortality, and clinical signs were recorded for 14 days. Skin irritation was scored according to Draize.
Dressings were removed 24 hours after application and excess test substance was removed.

Under the conditions of the study, the LD50 for acute dermal toxicity of the test item has been determined as greater than 16 g/kg bw.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed on the Read-Across substance Antimony Dipentyldithiocarbamate. Although no guidelines were stated within the study, the methodology is similar or equivalent to the standardized OECD 402; hence the study has been assigned a Klimisch score of 2.

The study was conducted before implementation of OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals and GLP. However, the species, number and sex of animals, body weight measurement, dose preparation, and treatment conditions are described; yet, test item characterization and batch number are not included in the study report.

Twelve young albino rabbits, 2 males/group for 0.25, 1.00, 4.00, or 8.00 g/kg bw groups and 3 males/1 female/group for 16.00 g/kg bw group were dermally dosed as 25 to 60 percent aqueous pastes, using water as the vehicle to approximately 1 in² abraded area, covered with sleeves for a 24 hour treatment period.

Dressings were removed 24 hours after application and excess test item was removed. Morbidity, mortality, and clinical signs were recorded for 14 days. Skin irritation was scored according to Draize. Body weights were recorded prior to initiation of the study and on day 15. Gross necropsies were performed. All animals survived the 14 day post-dose observation period. The dermal LD50 for both sexes was greater than 16 g/kg bw.
