Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Remarks:
- Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality).
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany.
- Females nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes.
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals (approx. 11 weeks old).
- Weight at study initiation: body weight variation did not exceed ± 20 % of the sex mean.
- Health inspection: upon receipt of the animals and prior to dosing. Special attention was paid to the skin to be treated, which was intact and free from any abnormality.
- Housing: individually housed in labeled Makrolon cages (MIII type, height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Litalabo, S.P.P.S., Argenteuil, France) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom). During the acclimatization period the animals were group housed in Makrolon cages (MIV type, height 18 cm).
- Diet: free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany).
- Water: free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 18-24 °C.
- Humidity: 40-70 %.
- Air changes: 15 room air changes/hour.
- Photoperiod: 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle.
Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- TEST SITE
- Preparation of test site: one day before exposure (Day -1) an area of approximately 5x7 cm on the back of the animal was clipped.
- Application of the test substance: the test substance was applied onto a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D). Due to the volatile nature of the test substance, this patch was immediately applied onto to skin.
- % coverage: 10 % of the total body surface, i.e. approx. 25 cm² for males and 18 cm² for females.
- Type of wrap if used: a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: skin cleaned of residual test substance using tap water.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours, after which dressings were removed. - Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- Single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (1.914 ml/kg).
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 males and 5 females
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days.
- Frequency for mortality/viability observations: twice daily.
- Frequency of observations for clinical signs: at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15. The time of onset, degree and duration were recorded and the symptoms graded according to fixed scales:
Maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4)
Maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3)
Maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1).
- Frequency of weighing: days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: at the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Chromodacryorrhoea of the snout was noted for one male and two females on Day 1.
- Gross pathology:
- Pelvic dilation of the kidney was noted for a single male. This necropsy finding is commonly noted among rats of this age and strain and was therefore considered not toxicologically significant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified as harmful/toxic according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material after the dermal exposure to rats was evaluated in a limit test according to the OECD Guideline 402 and EU Method B.3. Five male and five female Wistar rats were dermally exposed to a single dose of the substance at 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch, successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. After 24 hours of exposure the dressing was removed and the skin was cleaned from the residual test substance using tap water. The animals were observed for 15 days for mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes and necropsy was conducted after the end of the study.
No mortality was observed. Chromodacryorrhoea of the snout was noted for one male and two females on Day 1 while pelvic dilation of the kidney was noted for a single male. This necropsy finding is commonly noted among rats of this age and strain and was therefore considered not toxicologically significant.
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw
