Intradermal injection

4 female guinea pigs were tested using different concentrations (0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5 % in physiological saline) of the test substance and were checked for erythema and oedema after 24, 48 and 72h after the application.

24 h after the injections with 0.01% of the test substance 2 animals showed slight erythema and 2 animals an apparent erythema. At a concentration of 0.03% in 2 animals an apparent erythema was observed and in 2 animals an apparent erythema with oedema, whereas 1 animal showed an apparent erythema and 3 animals an apparent erythema with oedema after treatment with 0.05% of the test substance. 

All 4 animals showed eschar formation or necrosis starting at a dose of 0.1% of the test substance.

48 h after the injections with 0.01% of the test substance all 4 animals showed slight erythema. At a concentration of 0.03% in 2 animals an apparent erythema was observed and in 2 animals an apparent erythema with oedema, whereas 1 animal showed an apparent erythema and 3 animals an apparent erythema with oedema after treatment with 0.05% of the test substance. 

All 4 animals showed eschar formation or necrosis starting at a dose of 0.1% of the test substance.

72 h after the injections with 0.01% of the test substance all 4 animals showed slight erythema. At a concentration of 0.03% in 1 animal slight erythema was observed, in 1 animal an apparent erythema and the other 2 animals an apparent erythema with oedema, whereas 1 animal showed an apparent erythema and 3 animals an apparent erythema with oedema after treatment with 0.05% of the test substance. 

All 4 animals showed eschar formation or necrosis starting at a dose of 0.1% of the test substance.

 

Epicutaneous application

4 female guinea pigs were treated per dose ( 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 10% test substance in ethanol (50% in water)). They and were checked for erythema and oedema after 3, 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch.

After 3 h, all 4 animals treated with the highest dose (10%) showed a very slight erythema which remained until 72 h after patch removal.

No erythema or oedema was detected in any other animal at any time point and using any other concentration (0.3 – 5%).

Body weight

The body weight gain of the the animals was not affected adversely during the study.
