To prepare this suspension, the appropriate amount of test substance was weighed out depending on the desired concentration.

At the beginning of the administration period samples were taken from the lowest and highest concentration for homogeneity analysis.Additional concentration control analyses of the test substance preparations were performed in samples of all concentrations at the start of the administration period. The test substance was homogeneously distributed ranging form 90-110 % of the nominal concentration.

- RANDOMISATION
Prior to the first detailed clinical observation, the rats were distributed according to weight among the individual test groups, separated by sex. The weight variation of the rats used did not exceed 20 percent of the mean weight of each sex. The list of randomization instructions was compiled with a computer.
The test substance was applied uniformly to the clipped dorsal skin (dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk; at least 10 % of the body surface) using 3 mL syringes. The application volume was 5 mL/kg bw, based upon the latest individual body weight determination. The skin was covered for at least 6 hours after administration using a semiocclusive dressing, consisting of 4 layers of porous gauze dressing and a stretch bandage. After removal of the dressing, the treated skin was washed with lukewarm water. Control animals received the vehicle, only.
The first clipping was carried out at least 24 hours before the randomization. The rats were reclipped at least once a week (depending on hair growth).
All rats were sacrificed after a fasting period (withdrawal of food) of at least 16 hours. - Positive control:
- No
Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS
- Mortality and moribundity: twice daily on working days, once daily on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays
- Clinically abnormal signs: daily
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
- prior to the administration period and thereafter at weekly intervals.
- The findings were ranked according to the degree of severity, if applicable.
- The animals were transferred to a standard arena (50×37.5 cm with sides of 25 cm high).
- The following parameters were examined: abnormal behavior during “handling”, fur, skin, posture, salivation, respiration, activity/arousal level, tremors, convulsions, abnormal movements, impairment of gait, lacrimation, palpebral closure, exophthalmus, feces (appearance/consistency), urine, pupil size
FOOD CONSUMPTION
- weekly and calculated as mean food consumption in grams per animal and per day.
DRINKING WATER CONSUMPTION
- daily visual inspection of the water bottles for any overt changes in volume.
BODY WEIGHT
- before the start of the administration period
- during the administration period on day 0 (start of the administration period) and thereafter at weekly intervals.
- The difference between the body weight on the respective day of weighing and the body weight on day 0 was calculated as body weight change.
FUNCTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL BATTERY(FOB)
- at the end of the administration period.
- passive observations without disturbing the animals, followed by removal from the home cage, open field observations in a standard arena and sensorimotor tests and reflex tests.
- The findings were ranked according to the degree of severity, if applicable.
Home cage:
The animals were observed in their closed home cages for: posture, tremor, convulsions, abnormal movements, impairment of gait, other findings
Open field:
The animals were transferred to a standard arena (50 x 50 cm with sides of 25 cm high) and observed for at least 2 minutes for: behavior when removed from cage, fur, skin, salivation, nose discharge, lacrimation, eyes/pupil size, posture, palpebral closure, respiration, tremors, convulsions, abnormal movements, impairment of gait, activity/arousal level, feces (number of fecal pellets/appearance/consistency) within two minutes, urine (appearance/quantity) within two minutes, number of rearings within two minutes
Sensorimotor tests/reflexes
The animals were removed from the open field and subjected to following sensorimotor or reflex tests: approach response, touch response, vision ("visual placing response"), pupillary reflex, pinna reflex, audition ("startle response"), coordination of movements ("righting response"), behavior during "handling", vocalization, pain perception ("tail pinch"), grip strength of forelimbs, grip strength of hindlimbs, landing foot-splay test, other findings
Motor activity assessment
- at the end of the administration period.
- same day as the FOB was performed.
- The examinations were performed using the TSE Labmaster System. The animals were placed in new clean polycarbonate cages for the time of measurement. Eighteen beams were allocated per cage. The numbers of beam interrupts were counted over 12 intervals of 5 minutes. The sequence at which the animals were placed in the polycarbonate cages was selected at random. For each animal, measurement started individually when the 1st beam was interrupted and was finished exactly 1 hour later. The animals did not receive any food or water during the measurements.
OPHTHALMOSCOPY
- prior to the start of the administration period.
- At the end of the administration period, i.e. study day 28, the eyes of animals in test groups 0 (control) and 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) were examined for any changes using an ophthalmoscope after administration of a mydriatic.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment-related changes in the hematological parameters were found.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):

- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- FOB
There were no treatment related effects observed.
Deviations from "zero values" were obtained in several rats. However, as most findings were equally distributed between test-substance treated groups and controls, were without a doseresponse relationship or occurred in single rats only, these observations were considered to have been incidental.
MOTOR ACTIVITY MEASUREMENT
The single interval No. 5 was significantly decreased in male animals of test groups 1, 2 and 3 ( 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d). The overall motor activity was significantly increased in female animals of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d).
However, there were no significant deviations in the overall motor activity (summation of all intervals) in male animals of test groups 1-3 (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) and no significant deviations in the single intervals in female animals of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) in comparison to the concurrent control group. Thus, these findings were assessed as being not relevant. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment related changes in absolute or relative organ weight were observed.
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All gross lesions observed in test animals occurred singularly and were considered to be spontaneaus in origin and are not related to treatment.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the treated skin, minimal multifocal hyperkeratosis of parakeratotic type (parakeratosis) was observed through all test groups including also control animals. The following incidence was found:
1000 mg/kg bw/d
Male: 4/10; female 5/10
300 mg/kg bw/d
Male 2/10; female: 4/10
100 mg/kg bw/d
Male: 2/10; female: 2/10
Control
Male: 1/10; female 1/10
The increased incidence observed in females of the 300 mg/kg bw/d dose group and males and females the 1000 mg/kg bw/d dose groups rather regarded as incidental since the severity of the parakeratosis remained minimal in both treated as well as control animals.
All other histopathological findings occurred either individually or were biologically equally distributed over the control group and the treatment groups. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
