Details on study design:
The animals were prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test product. The furs from the dorsal area of trunk of animals were removed with electric clippers exposing an area measuring approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area of animal.

Remarks on result:
other: No skin reaction was observed after four hours patch removal
Other effects:
The test compound 40306-75-0 when applied dermally on New Zealand White rabbit in the amount of 0.5 gm did not produce any clinical signs dermal irritation after 4 hours patch removal.

No serious reaction was observed at the site of application. The second patch was applied on the different shaven back side and removed after one hour. There were no signs of skin reaction observed at this site of application. Finally, a third patch was applied at a different site and was removed after four hour.No skin reactionwas observed after four hours patch removal.Finally, the animal was observed for 14 days, for any irritation and corrosion.

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal irritation index of New Zealand white rabbits is calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under non irritant categories. Thus the result obtained from present study reveals that the test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid is non irritant to skin of the New Zealand white rabbits when applied to the shaven back intact skin.
Executive summary:

The site of application was observed for skin reaction if any. The intact skin site of application of each animal was observed for signs of erythema and oedema and the responses were scored following Draize’s method at 60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. In addition to the observation of irritation, all local toxic effects, such as defatting of the skin, and any systemic adverse effects were fully described and recorded.

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Age : 10 to 12 weeks
Sex : female

Acclimatization : The rabbit was acclimatized to standard laboratory condition for 24 hours in experimental room before study.
No. of animals: Three
Vehicle:

Controls:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Amount / concentration applied:
A dose of 0.1gm of test substance was applied into the one eye of the rabbits. The other eye, which remains untreated, serves as a control.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
21 days
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance application.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Details on study design:
The test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid in the amount of 0.1 gm moistened with distilled water and then placed in the conjunctival sac of one eye of each animal after gentle pulling the lower eye lid away from the eye ball. The eye lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent the loss of the material. The other eyes which remains untreated, served as control.The eyes of the test animal did not washed for at least 24 hours following instillation of the test compound.

Executive summary:

The test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid, when applied to conjunctival sac of rabbit in the amount of0.1 gmdid not produces any eye irritation or inflammation. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc. In the confirmatory test, the test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxy benzene sulphonic acid when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbits did not produce eye irritation during the entire observation period. However, some blood vessels observed hyperemic upto 24 hours after the application of test compound. There were no other signs observed throughout the observation period of 21 days.

 

Based on above findings, it can be concluded that the test compound is practically non-irritant at the tested dose level.

Additional information

Skin irritation :

The dermal irritation index of New Zealand white rabbits is calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under non irritant categories. Thus the result obtained from present study reveals that the test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxy benzene sulphonic acid is non irritant to skin of the New Zealand white rabbits when applied to the shaven back intact skin. Based on the weight of evidence for the target substance 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxy benzene sulphonic acid, it is evident that the substance do not have irritation effect on skin.

Eye irritation :

The test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid, when applied to conjunctival sac of rabbit in the amount of0.1 gmdid not produces any eye irritation or inflammation. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc. In the confirmatory test, the test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxy benzene sulphonic acid when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbits did not produce eye irritation during the entire observation period. Based on above findings, it can be concluded that the test compound is practically non-irritant at the tested dose level.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:

The end point has been selected since the study is a k1 data conducted by OECD method.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:

The end point has been selected since the study is a k1 data conducted by OECD method.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance will not be considered for classification in any of the irritation activity as the end point data indiactes that

3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxy benzene sulphonic acid is non irritating in nature.
