Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Remarks on result:
- other: LOAEL 2.07 g/kg
- Mortality:
- No treatment related effects. One male rat in the vehicle control group and one male rat in the 14.0% (w/w) group died during the study but these deaths were attributed to mechanical trauma due to struggling during the gauze wrapping procedure.
- Clinical signs:
- Very slight erythema (+1) was observed in two males during weeks 3 and 4. Dermal irritation in females was observed in each treatment group during week 1 of the study. Very slight erythema was observed in four females in the 1.0% (w/w) and 14.0% (w/w) treatment groups during the first week but no irritation was observed during the remainder of the study. Females in the 36.0% (w/w) group showed very slight and well-defined erythema (+2) which showed a significant difference from the control on days 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the study only Very slight oedema (+1) was also observed in females in this group but the difference was not significant.
- Body weight:
- No significant difference between any group means during the test. Individual body weight data showed transient low weight gains and losses for males and females in all test groups, including the control.
- Gross pathology:
- Necropsy revealed red patchy areas on the lungs of rats occurring randomly throughout the control and test groups, with one rat showing pale lungs in the 1.0% (w/w) test group. None of these findings were considered to be treatment related.
Histopathology results showed no treatment related effects as all findings were considered to be incidental, except microscopic findings in the liver of one male in the 36.0% (w/w) treatment which showed fibrous trabeculae, increased Kupffer cell macrophages and lipofuscin pigment and one female in the vehicle control which showed coagulative necrosis of one liver lobe. These findings were determined to be due to mechanical trauma.
Excised skin sections showed slight microscopic differences in morphology between treated and untreated sites in each of the control and test groups. Skin from the treated sites showed a slight thickening of the epithelium and slightly increased cornification. The basal cell layer showed a slight increase in the mitotic rate in the treated skin sites compared to the untreated sites. These differences were attributed to the vehicle and semi-occlusive gauze dressing since there were no difference between the vehicle control and SCI treated groups. In addition, no inflammatory changes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In a study performed to OECD 410, there was no evidence of systemic toxicity in the treated animals during the study up to the highest dose of 2.07 g/kg/day. Observations revealed very slight erythema in a few males at the highest dose and slight erythema and oedema in females at the highest dose. Both findings decreased in incidence and severity towards the end of the study. There was no evidence of skin irritation on day 1 of the study and thus the NOAEL for acute local effects is 2.07 g/kg bw.
