- Weight at study initiation: 235-247 g (males), 215-238 wks (females)
- Housing: individually in IVC cages, type III H, polysulphone cages on Altromin saw fibre bedding (lot 261111)
- Diet (ad libitum): Altromin 1324 (lot 0715)
- Water (ad libitum): tap water, sulphur acidified to a pH of approximately 2.8
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 10
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- % coverage: 10% of the total body surface
- Type of wrap if used: The test item was held in contact with the skin by a dressing throughout a 24-h period. The dressing consisted of a gauze-dressing and non-irritating tape and was fixed with an additional dressing in a suitable manner.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: at the end of the 24 h exposure period the residual test item was removed using aqua ad injectionem

- For solids, paste formed: yes, the test substance was moistened with aqua ad injectionem
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: cageside observations were done several times on the days of dosing and once a day until the end of the observation period. Observations included general symptoms, changes in the skin and fur, eyes, and mucous membranes. Also changes in respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and centrals nervous system and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern were examined. Attention was directed to observations of tremors convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, lethargy, sleep and coma. Weighing was done on day 1 (prior to application) and on days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, other: primary skin irritation was assessed using the scoring system of Draize

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period.
Gross pathology:
With the exception of acute injection of blood vessels in the abdominal region, which was due to the euthanasia injection, no specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any animal.
Other findings:
- Other observations: Erythema grade 1 was observed in 1 of 5 female animals on Days 2 and 3 after start of the application. Scratches and eschar were observed in all male and female animals. All signs of irritation were reversible within the observation period. Edema was not observed (see Tables 2 and 3).
