Executive summary:

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with PF-00968603 in the rat.

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in:  OECD No.402 (1987) "Acute Dermal Toxicity" Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, B3: "Acute Toxicity (Dermal)" EPA, OPPTS 870.1200 (1998), "Acute Dermal Toxicity"  JMAFF Guidelines (2000), including the most recent revisions.

Initially, PF-00968603 was administered to five rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 22 hours. In addition PF-00968603 was administered to five rats of each sex by dermal application at 1000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours in a stepwise manner. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed on the day of death or after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).

All animals at 2000 mg/kg were sacrificed in moribund condition within 24 hours of dosing. No mortality occurred at 1000 mg/kg.

Animals at 2000 mg/kg showed lethargy (grade 3), flat posture, slow breathing, watery discharge of the eyes, ptosis and/or hypothermia on Day 2. Piloerection was noted on Days 1 and 2 in these animals.

Restless behavior, lethargy (grade 1), hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, shallow respiration, piloerection, chromodacryorrhoea and/or ptosis were noted in animals treated at 1000 mg/kg.

White discoloration of the treated skin was noted in two animals at 2000 mg/kg on Day 2. General erythema and/or scales of the treated skin and/or in general were note in all females and one male at 1000 mg/kg.

The changes noted in body weight gain in surviving males and females were within the range expected for rats used in this type of study and were therefore considered not indicative of toxicity.

Pelvic dilation, many dark red foci in the glandular mucosa and/or pale discolouration of the liver were noted in one male and two females at 2000 mg/kg. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals at 1000 mg/kg.

The dermal LD50 value of PF-00968603 in Wistar rats was established to be in the range of 1000-2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results: According to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007),  PF-00968603 S should be classified as: harmful in contact with skin (Category 4) for acute toxicity by the dermal route. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, PF-00968603 should be classified as Category 4 and should be labeled as H312: Harmful in contact with skin.

Additional information

Acute dermal toxicity:

A primary dermal toxicity study was conducted according to OECD 402 using rat (Beerens-Heijnen, 2010). Key study.

This study showed that the dermal LD50 value of test substance is established to be in the range of 1000-2000 mg/kg body weight.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint

Study run to a method comparable with current guidelines and to GLP

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dermal LD50>1000 -<=2000 mg/kg (actual range>1000 -<=2000 mg/kg)

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.1.1 the substance is classified for Category 4 H312.
