Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Body weight: 2.0 - 4.0 kg at time of dosing
Acclimatization period: 7 days
Animal identification: Each animal was assigned an unique and individual number. This number was permanently indicated on the anizial with an ear tag.
Animals were housed separately from any other species. They were individually housed in stainlese steel, wire mesh bottom cages.
Temperature: 63 - 73°F; humidity: 30 - 70%
Day/night rhythm: 12 h dark, 12 h light
Fresh certified rabbit feed and fresh potable water were offered ad libitum.

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
Six rabbits received 0.5 g of solid test substance on the intact skin site. The test substance was sufficiently moistened with sterile water to ensure good contact with the skin. One adjacent, untreated skin site (intact) was used as a negative control on each animal. Each site was approximately one square inch in size. Each site was exposed approximately 4 hours.
Observations for skin irritation were made at prescreen within 60 minutes after compound removal (approximately 4 hours), 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours following patch removal.
Animal body weights were taken within 48 hours of receipt, at the end of quarantine and prior to dosing.
All animals were sacrificed following the 72 hour scoring period.
Evaluation was done using the Draize scoring system (Draize, S.H., 1959).
