Any other information on results incl. tables

All animals survived the 14-day duration of the study.

One female gained body weihgt consistantly from day 0 to day 14. One male and one other female lost body weight from day 0 to day 7. The remaining 4 males and 3 females lost body weight from day 0 to day 7 and regained at least 40% of this lost body weight from day 7 to day 14.

Very slight and/or well defined erythema was observed for all animals from days 1 or 2 as late as day 11. No other dermal reactions were observed during the study.

Gross necropsy examinations revealed solitary or multiple, red or red-brown discolorations of the skin at the test sites of one male and 3 females. A diffuse, green discoloration of the lung was also observed upon necropsy examination of one ot these females. Necropsy examination of one other male revealed a solitary, tan depression on the stomach. No other abnormalities were observed upon necropsy examinations of all animals sacrificed on day 14.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The test article was applied to the clipped and abraded skin of 5 male and 5 female albino rabbits at a dose level of 2 grams per kg bw. the animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and body weight gain. A gross necropsy was performed of all animals sacrifieced on day 14. All animals survived the 14-day duration of the study.

Therefore the LD50 is > 2000 mg(kg bw (rabbit, m+f)
