Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
water
Details on dermal exposure:
10 rabbits were clipped free of fur over the entire upper back area. Rabbits showing signs of dermal irritation or lesions were replaced. Five of the test sites were abraded by making a series of five parallel superficial scratches in the dermis; the remaining five were left intact.
The compound was applied at 2 g/kg bw to the shaved skin and wrapped with an impervious band which was left in place for 24 h.
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10 (no data about sex)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: Animals were observed for mortality for up to 48 hours
- Frequency of observations: Treatment sites were evaluated for signs of erythema or edema according to the Draize Scoring System after 24 and 48 h. Body weight was recorded at dosing
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
