Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal LD50 of C-171 in male/female rabbits was > 2,000 mg/kg bw. The discriminating dose is 2,000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute dermal toxicity of C-171 in New Zealand White rabbits using the method equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 402.

A group of 6 male and 4 female New Zealand White rabbits received a single dermal application of 2,000 mg/kg bw at a dose volume of 1.7 mL/kg to a shaved area of the back representing 10 % of the total body surface area. The application was occluded and exposure was for 24 h. Parameters evaluated included survival, clinical observations, body weight and necropsy findings in all animals after a 14 days observation period.

No mortality occured at 2,000 mg/kg bw. All animals, except one male and one female, showed body weight gain during the study.

Clinical signs noted in several animals were nasal and/or oral or ocular discharge. Decreased food consumption and fecal staining of the abdomen were observed in one animal at 24 h. Well-defined to severe erythema with moderate or severe edema were observed at the application site at 24 h. Two animals exhibited eschar at the dosing site at terminal necropsy. Necropsy revealed abnormalities like small or pale spleen; red foci in adrenals; raised, yellow and hard seminal vesicles; tan lungs; stomach or small intestines extremely distended with gas.

 

In conclusion, under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal LD50 of C-171 in male/female rabbits was > 2,000 mg/kg bw. The discriminating dose is 2,000 mg/kg bw.
