Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- The animals were male and female New Zealand White rabbits, supplied by Velaz (Prague). At the start of the study animals weighed 2-2.5 kg. The rabbits were acclimatised for 21 days, during which time the health status of the rabbits was observed. The animals were housed individually in suspended metal cages, and had free access to mains drinking water and food. The animal room was maintained at a temperature of 17-20°C, and relative humidity of 49-56%. The animals were subjected to a 12 hour light: 12 hour dark cycle.
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 500 mg of the test material was applied to the skin
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Four hours
- Observation period:
- 72 hours following patch removal
- Number of animals:
- 2 males and 1 female.
- Details on study design:
- The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 404. The day before the test the dorsal flank of each rabbit was clipped free of fur using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis (assessed by gross observation) were selected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 500 mg of the test material was introduced under a 2.5x2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position of the shaved skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape.
Four hours after application the patches were removed and any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water. The test sites were examined for signs of primary irritation 1 hour after patch removal, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later.

- Conclusions:
- The substance was not irritating to the skin.
- Executive summary:
Dimethylolpropionic acid was applied to the shaved intact skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits, under a semi-occlusive patch. The patch was left in place for 4 hours; upon removal of the patch any residual test material was removed by gently swabbing the skin with cotton wool soaked in distilled water. The test sites were examined for signs of primary irritation 1 hour after patch removal, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later. The test substance produced a very slight erythema in all 3 rabbits, noticeable 24 hours after patch removal and persisting for 3-4 days following patch removal. No other signs of irritation were noted. Data were not shown but the author reported that the substance congested and degreased the skin following repeat application.
