Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale: Based upon a 28 Day Dermal Toxicity Study in Rats:
The test substance was administered in a solution by dermal application to five groups of 10 rats (five males and five females per group) for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for 28 days. The dose groups were 10, 50, 100, 250, and 500 mg/kg. An additional group of 10 rats (five male, five female) received the vehicle (deionized water) and served as a vehicle control group. No clinical signs were observed in the vehicle control group or the 10 and 50 mg/kg dose groups.
Clinical signs observed in the 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg treatment groups included very slight to severe erythema and extreme sloughing of skin, fissuring of skin, 15% to 75% necrosis of dose area, and scattered necrosis of dose area. The severity of these observations was dose dependent. Three rats died on study (one female in the high dose group on Day15 and two females in the high dose group on Day 17). Necropsy of the animals dying on study revealed mottled lungs and/or pale and prominent lobular patter of the liver. There were no statistically significant differences found in the group mean body weights, weight gains or daily food consumption. Terminal necropsy revealed mottled or pale lungs, red foci throughout lungs, tan foci and yellow-brown discoloration of the medial lobe of the liver, adhered lobes of the liver and mottled kidneys in the treatment groups. Terminal necropsy of the vehicle control group revealed mottled lungs, red foci throughout lungs and/or mottled kidneys. Based up on the results of this dose-range finding study, the suggested doses for the 90 -day study in rats were 16, 50 and 160 mg/kg.

- A negative control recovery group and a high dose recovery group remained on test untreated for an additional 28 days to determine reversibility, persistence, or delayed occurrence of toxic effects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based upon the results of this subchronic 90 day dermal toxicity study in rats, the test substance did not produce systemic toxicity when administered dermally five days per week for 30 and 90 days at doses of 16, 50 and 160 mg/kg. Therefore, the NOAEL was established as greater than 160 mg/kg body weight/day.
