Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The rabbits were shaved on the back and 48 hours later substance was applied to the shaved area and wrapped semi-occlusively for 24 hours, then skin reactions were scored over a period of 14 days.

GLP compliance:

no

4,4'-Methylenedianiline, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane

Cas Number:

28390-91-2

IUPAC Name:

4-[(4-aminophenyl)methyl]aniline; 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane

Details on test material:

Araldite MY 720, batch no. 1-73

Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

All rabbits kept for seven days in quarantene before introducing to the test. Animals were housed individually, in suspended wire-mesh cages, food and water was supplied ad libitum.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

other: methal ethyl ketone

Details on dermal exposure:

rabbits were shaved on the back 48 hours before treatment, substance was dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone, and applied to the backs of the animals (30% of the animals body surface), the substance was then covered with a plastic sheet and fixed with a bandage to the animal. Animals were fixed a plastic collar to avoid licking on the sites. Substance remained 24 hours on the site, then the sites were washed and animals were observed daily for skin reactions and mortality.

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

0, 1000, 3000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2 male & 2 female rabbits per dose

Control animals:

yes, concurrent vehicle

Details on study design:

Initial and final body weights were measured, and at necropsy after 14 says a full observation of the entire organs was made, and organs were fixed in formalin for potential furhter investigations.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed on the results

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 3 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

No mortality occurred during the 14 day observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: Ataxia and hyporeactivity were observed in all animals 1 hour post treatment, but disappeared within 24 hours. MY 720 was slightly irritant to the skin, while the solvebt caused only marginal skin reactions (irritation).

Gross pathology:

No gross pathological changes were recorded during necropsy.

Other findings:

Histopathological examination of liver and kidney did not reveal any changes in the treated animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Dermal treatment of rabbits with 1000 and 3000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours did not cause any mortality or other sings of toxicity apart from slight irritation on the application sites.
The LD50 (dermal, in rabbits) is > 3000 mg/kg bw

Executive summary:

Dermal treatment of rabbits with 1000 and 3000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours did not cause any mortality or other sings of toxicity apart from slight irritation on the application sites. The LD50 (dermal, in rabbits) is > 3000 mg/kg bw
