Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

cotton seed oil

Details on dermal exposure:

Preparation of the Animals:
The animals were marked for individual identification by tail painting.
Approximately 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed from the dorsal area of the trunk using an electric clipper.
Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin, and only animals with healthy intact skin were used.
No less than 10% of the body surface was cleared for the application.
Prior to the application a detailed clinical observation was made of all animals.

Application:
The test item was applied at a single dose, uniformly over an area which was approximately 10% of the total body surface. In order to ensure good skin contact the test item was moistened with the vehicle.
The test item was held in contact with the skin by a dressing throughout a 24-hour period.
The dressing consisted of a gauze-dressing and non-irritating tape and was fixed with an additional dressing in a suitable manner.

Duration of exposure:

The test item was held in contact with the skin throughout a 24-hour period. At the end of the exposure period the residual test item was removed using cottonseed oil.

Doses:

The test item was applied at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight to each animal.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male and 5 female

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

Observation period:
All animals were observed for 14 days after dosing

Weight Assessment:
The animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the application) and on days 8 and 15.

Clinical Examination:
careful clinical examination was made several times on the day of dosing (at least once during the first 30 minutes
and with special attention given during the first 4 hours post-dose). As soon as symptoms were noticed they were recorded.
Thereafter, the animals were observed for clinical signs once daily until the end of the observation period. All abnormalities
were recorded. Cageside observations included changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes.
Also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour
pattern were examined. Attention was directed to observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea,
lethargy, sleep and coma.

Pathology:
At the end of the observation period the surviving animals were sacrificed with an overdosage of pentobarbital injected
intraperitoneally (Narcoren®, Merial) at the dosage of approximately 8 mL/kg bw. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
All gross pathological changes were recorded and in case of findings the tissues were preserved for a possible
histopathological evaluation. The preserved tissues of which no histopathological evaluation was made will be discarded
3 months after the release of the final report unless otherwise agreed upon with the sponsor.

Evaluation of Results:
Individual reactions of each animal were recorded at each time of observation.
Toxic response data were recorded by sex and dose level.
Nature, severity and duration of clinical observations were described.
The body weight changes were summarised in a tabular form.
Necropsy findings were described.

Statistics:

According to OECD guidelines, the biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary.

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the present study, single dermal application of the test item to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with neither mortality nor signs of toxicity. In one male animal scratches were observed from day 6 until the end of the observation period which might be caused by scratching activities of the animal. The dermal LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg / kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Acute toxicity after dermal application was investigated in Wistar rats according to an OECD 402 limit test. Animals (5 males and 5 females) were applied 2000 mg/kg bw in cottonseed oil for 24 hours. No animal died during the observation period.
