Study Plan amendments as listed by study director:
A second group of 5 male and 5 female animals was treated at 1000 mg/kg and corn oil was used for the dilution. The test item preparation was adapted. The name of the sponsor was changed. Correction in the test item formulation.
The result of the study is inconclusive as all animals in the 2000 mg/kg bw group were sacrificed on humane grounds on day 8 of the study period due to severe skin irritation.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on dermal exposure:
The test item was applied undiluted for the dose of 2000 mg/kg or placed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler PM 460 balance for the dose of 1000 mg/kg and corn oil was added. A weight by volume dilution was prepared using a magnetic stirrer as homogenizer. Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during treatment.
The preparation was made shortly before the dermal application.
Dose levels were in terms of material as supplied by the sponsor.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
not applicable
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 1 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No animals died at 1000 mg/kg level.
At 2000 mg/kg, all animals were killed on day 8 due to ethical reasons. Animals were showing signs of severe irritation.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs were noted during the observation period. Local signs: Well defined erythema was observed in all 2000 mg/kg dosed animals after removing of dressing. Moderate to severe erythema was observed in all animals from days 3 -5 and on day 6, se
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic findings observed at Necropsy.
Other findings:
None specified.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Inconclusive. Test stopped early for ethical reasons.
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal does of Mark 17 M after a single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 15 days is:
LD50 (rat): > 1000 mg/kg body weight.

All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg were killed for ethical reasons on day 8 due to severe signs of irritation observed. The results (LD50) for these test animals are classified as inconclusive.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD test guideline 402, groups of 9 week old male and 10 - 11 week old female rats were dermally exposed to Mark 17 M for 24 hours at doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals dosed with 1000 mg/kg bw were then observed for 14 days. All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg were killed for ethical reasons on day 8 due to severe signs of irritation observed. The LD50 result (see below) for these test animals are classified as inconclusive.

LD50 (rat): > 1000 mg/kg body weight.
