TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Laboratories, Raleigh, NC
- Age at study initiation: 11-13 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 210-265 g
- Fasting period before study: no data
- Housing: During experiments, rats were housed individually in glass metabolism cages which provided for the separate collection of urine, feces, CO2 and other volatiles.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Purina Rodent Chow #5002, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 1 week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22.2 +/- 1.6
- Humidity (%): 50 +/- 20
- Air changes (per hr): 10-15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
open
Vehicle:
acetone
Duration of exposure:
Single dermal exposure
Doses:
Dose levels evaluated: 2.7 and 270 mg C14-MEKO/kg body weight
No. of animals per group:
3 male rats per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Dermal dose formulations were prepared in acetone to deliver ~20 uCi in a single dose volume of 200 uL and were applied to a 12 square cm area from which the hair had been clipped the previous day. Dose site areas were inspected for damage prior to dosing and any animals with damage in the clipped area were excluded from the study. Dose sites were protected from grooming by a nonocclusive foam appliance with a cloth cover and metal shield.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Following dermal application of C14-methyl ethyl ketoxime at 2.7 and 270 mg/kg body weight, approximately 26 and 13% of the 2.7 and 270 mg C14 MEKO/kg doses, respectively, were absorbed. Volatilization from the dose site prior to placement in the metabolism cage may account for the low absorption.
