Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: Kleinrusse, Chbb:HM
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Fa. Thomae, Biberach, Germany
- Weight at study initiation: 2442 g (average)
- Housing: single housing in rabbit cages, (Fa. Heinkel, Kuchen, Germany)
- Diet: feed 20 ZH 5 (Fa. Nohrlin GmbH, Bad Salzuflen, Germany)
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 1 week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): approximately 20-21
- Humidity (%): approximately 45-50
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated skin served as the control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
7 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h, and 7 days
Number of animals:
5 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal skin, an approximately 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm area
- Type of wrap if used: a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch with the test substance was applied to the skin of the rabbit. The gauze patch was covered by a plastic film, which was fixed with adhesive tapes; then finally an acrylastic band (occlusive) was applied. During the 4-hour exposure the animals were kept in special boxes to ensure the wrapping did not move.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): not reported

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No irritation effects were observed 1 hour after exposure ended. At the 24-hour reading time point, 3/5 animals had very slight erythema and edema. By the 48-hour reading time point, the severity had increased to well-defined erythema in 2/5 animals, while 2/5 had very slight erythema. 2 of these rabbits also had very slight edema, which was still present at the 72-hour reading time point. Very slight to well-defined erythema persisted in 3/5 rabbits until 72 hours after exposure. All the irritation effects had cleared completely within 7 days.
