Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

other: test substance moistened with 3 ml of distilled water

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: no info
- % coverage: clipping of approximately 30% of the total body surface of the skin on the back
- Type of wrap if used: Test substance applied under a sleeve of dental dam (gauze) which was wrapped around the trunk of the animal and secured with staples. The ends of the sleeve of dental dam were fastened with Johnson and Johnson Zonas porous tape to form an airtight occlusive wrap. Each rabbit was restrained in a Newmann harness and returned to its cage for a 24-hour exposure period.

Conclusions:

The single dose acute dermal LD50 of the test item , moistened with 3 ml of distilled water and applied to the skin for 24 hours, is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Because higher concentrations than 2000 mg/kg had not been tested and effects at those higher concentrations are unknown the test material was classified in Category 5 according to OECD-GHS.

Executive summary:

The test item was evaluated for its acute dermal toxicity potential in albino rabbits. The study is comparable to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity). The study was designed and performed according to Good Laboratory Practice Standards.

For 24 hours 2 g/kg of the test substance is applied to the skin of six albino rabbits (test material moistened with 3 ml of distilled water per application). The test sites of three of the six animals were abraded. No mortalities occurred through the study. One rabbit was observed to show signs of toxicity involving difficulty breathing, nasal discharge, nictitating membranes reddened and swollen with marked lacrimation on days 1 through 14. Moderate to severe skin irritation was noted in all rabbits during the study.

Signs of skin irritation observed were slight to moderate erythema, edem and atonia on days 1 through 9, subsiding by day 10 in the majority of rabbits. Sligh desquamation increasing to marked desquamation was noted beginning on days 4 or 5, continuing throughout the study. On days 4 through 7 slight to moderate fissuring was observed. On day 4 of the study all of the rabbits test areas were leathery to touch and eschar formation was then noted on day 5 continuing throughout the study. Exfoliation began on day 6 or 7 in four of the rabbits and days 10 and 13 on two of the rabbits. Observations were up to 14 days.

The single dose acute dermal LD₅₀ of the test item, moistened with 3 ml of distilled water and applied to the skin for 24 hours, is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
