- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: In humans a maximum of 75 mL of the 11% test substance solution is applied to the hair. The scalp which has an estimated average surface of 500 cm² is only reached by a small part of the solution estimated to be at most 1/10, corresponding to 0.015 mL/cm².
In order to have reproducible conditions the fur of the rats was clipped, the test substance was therefore applied mainly on the skin. 0.3 mL were used on an area of 9 cm², larger amounts of test substance solution would flow off during exposure time. The applied volume was with 0.033 mL/cm² two times higher than in humans which is a "worst case". - Details on dosing and sampling:

Any other information on results incl. tables
No pH dependence of the results was detectable. The majority of the applied 14C was removed from the skin by rinsing after the actual exposure and after the neutralization step (means of 96.1 to 96.8% of the applied dose). The mean 14C-content of the skin at the site of application was 0.82%, 0.57% and 0.60% (study A, B and C, respectively) of the administered 14C-amount. Means of 0.139%, 0.119% and 0.137% of the applied 14C were recovered in urine and faeces within 72 hours. 14C was excreted to a larger extent via urine (means 79%, 76% and 80% of the eliminated amounts). The mean excretion was fast:
92%, 83% and 93% of the totally eliminated amounts were excreted in the first 24 hours after application. The remaining mean amounts of 14C in the carcass 3 days after the application were 0.126%, 0.116% and 0.121% of the administered 14C-amount. This corresponds to 46.7%, 48.3% and 46.5% of the absorbed 14C-amount.
The red foci that appeared in the application site of several animals of all pH groups did not have a distinct influence on absorption.
In the three studies the cutaneous absorption as well as the 14C-concentration found in urine, faeces and carcass were higher in males than in females without gaining statistical significance. Means of 97% to 97.9% of the applied 14C-doses were recovered in the various types of samples in the three studies. From these results the mean absorption was calculated to be 0.27%, 0.24 % and 0.26% of the applied dose.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The mean absorption was calculated to be 0.24-0.27 % of the applied dose. Only ca. 0.1% of the applied dose was found in the carcass 3 d after exposure, indicating no potential for bioaccumulation.
