Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Robinson Services, Inc.
- Age at study initiation: 13 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 1937 - 2221 g (males), 1814 -2176 g (females)
- Fasting period before study:
- Housing: The animals were singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging with mesh floors, which conform to the size recommendations in the most recent Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Natl. Res. Council, 2011). Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times per week.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Purina Rabbit Chow #5326
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum by an automatic water dispensing system.
- Acclimation period: 6 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-22°C
- Humidity (%): 22-38 %
- Air changes (per hr): 10 - 14
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/dark cycle

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
water
Details on dermal exposure:
Two thousand mg/kg of body weight of a 20% aqueous dilution of the test substance in distilled water (v/v) was applied evenly over a dose area of approximately 2 inches x 3 inches (approximately 10% of the body surface) and covered with a 4-inch x 8-inch, 6-ply gauze pad. The gauze pad and entire trunk of each animal were then wrapped with 3-inch Durapore tape to avoid dislocation of the pad and to minimize loss of the test substance. The rabbits were then returned to their designated cages. The day of application was considered Day 0 of the study. After 24 hours of exposure to the test substance, the pads were removed and the test sites were gently cleansed of any residual test substance.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg of body weight of a 20 % aqueous dilution of th etest substance in distilled water
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for mortality, signs of gross toxicity, and behavioral changes during the
first several hours after application and at least once daily thereafter for 14 days. Observations included gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous
membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, and coma. Individual body weights of the animals were recorded prior to test substance application
(initial) and again on Days 7 and 14 (termination).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
