Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River (UK) Ltd.
- Age at study initiation: approximately eight to twelve weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 333 to 375 g for males and 246 to 281 g for females
- Fasting period before study: no data
- Housing: The cages were solid bottomed polycarbonate cages with a stainless steel mesh lid. Each cage contained a quantity of autoclaved wood flake bedding.
- Diet: The animals were allowed free access to a standard rodent diet (Rat and Mouse No. 1 Maintenance Diet). This diet contained no added antibiotic or other chemotherapeutic or prophylactic agent.
- Water: Potable water taken from the public supply was freely available via polycarbonate bottles fitted with sipper tubes.
- Acclimation period: The animals were allowed to acclimatise to the conditions described below for 5 days before treatment

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 to 23°C.
- Humidity: 40 to 70%.
- Air changes (per hr): The animal room was kept at positive pressure with respect to the outside by its own supply of filtered fresh air, which was passed to atmosphere and not re-circulated.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Artificial lighting was controlled to give a cycle of 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours continuous dark per 24 hours.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 50 mm x 50 mm
- % coverage: approximately 10%
- Type of wrap if used: porous gauze held in place with a non-irritating dressing, and further covered by a waterproof dressing encircled firmly around the trunk of the animal.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the treated area of skin was washed with warm water (30 - 40°C), to remove any residual test substance. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bodyweight
- Concentration (if solution): 500 mg/mL
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: yes

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 4 mL/kg bodyweight

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

Dose - 2000 mg/kg bw
Concentration - 500 mg/mL
Dose volume - 4 mL/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days, animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day (with the exception of Day 15 - morning only).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: mortality, clinical signs, body weight, macroscopic pathology and dermal reactions

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

Mortality:

Cages of rats were checked at least twice daily for any mortalities. There were no deaths and no systemic response to treatment in any animal.

Clinical signs:

other: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days, animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day (with the exception of Day 15 - morning only). The n

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were noted in any animal at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.

Other findings:

Dermal reactions: no dermal reactions were observed in any animal during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute median lethal dermal dose (LD50) to rats of Rikabinol HB was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
