Other findings:
Signs of toxicity (local):
Es traten weder bei den männlichen noch bei den weiblichen
Tieren substanzbedingte Vergiftungserscheinungen auf. Im
Applikationsbereich wurde 72 h nach Substanzverabreichung
bei drei weiblichen Tieren Schuppenbildung auf der Haut
beobachtet; zwei Tiere zeigten zusätzlich eine Hautrötung.
Nach Ablösung der Schuppen am 7. Tag post applicationem (2
Tiere), am 9. Tag post applicationem (1 Tier) stellte sich
die Applikationsfläche ohne Befund dar. Fünf männliche und
zwei weibliche Tiere zeigten zu keinem Beobachtungszeitpunkt
eine Hautveränderung.

"ENGLISH"
Neither the male nor the female animals showed substance
related symptoms of toxicity.
72 hours after the application of the substance three female
test animals showed scale formation of the skin in the
application range; two animals showed as well redness of the
skin. After the scales came off after the application
(7. day 2 animals, 9. day 1 animal the treated area was
without any findings. Five male and two female animals never
showed changes of the skin during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In rats the LD50 after dermal exposure was >2000 mg/kg bw. This dermal acute toxicity study was done under GLP according to OECD guideline 402 (Hüls AG 1992b). No effects were observed with regard to mortality, clinical signs, body weight and gross examinations. However, scale formation in the region of application was observed in three of five animals 72 hours post application. This effect was reversible within 9 days. In addition, two of these animals showed skin redness 72 hours after the application. Although,

no changes of the skin or in the subcutaneous tissue in the application area were found in any of the animals.
