Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not irritating
- Conclusions:
- The dermal irritation index of the test chemical in New Zealand white rabbits was calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under "Not Classified".
- Executive summary:
A dermal irritation study was conducted on New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical.
In the initial test one healthy rabbit of body weight 2.04 kg was selected for study after acclimatization. The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied uniformly at the different sites on the shaven back skin of animal. The hairs of back sides were removed (approximately 6 cm2) one day earlier before the treatment.
The test substance in the amount of 0.5 gm was moistened with distilled water and then applied to a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin and covered with a gauze patch, which was held in place with non-irritating tape. The first patch was applied on the shaven back skin of rabbit and removed after three minutes. No serious reaction was observed at the site of application. The second patch was applied on the different shaven back side and removed after one hour. There were no signs of skin reaction observed at this site of application. Finally, a third patch was applied at a different site and was removed after four hour. No dermal irritation was observed at the site of application of the test compound after 4 hours of patch removal. Finally, the animal was observed for 14 days, for any irritation and corrosion.
Because no corrosive effect was observed in the initial test, a confirmatory test was done in order to confirm the irritant or negative response of the test substance by taking two additional animals. In the confirmatory test, the test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied on the shaven back skin (approximately 6 cm2) of two animals (body weight of each animal was 2.13 and 2.10kg), each with one patch, for an exposure period of four hours. After four hours the patch was removed and the skin reactions were graded according to Draize’s method. The test compound applied dermally on New Zealand White rabbit in the amount of 0.5 gm did not produce any skin reaction or inflammation during the observation period. Furthermore, no clinical signs were observed during the entire observation period.
The dermal irritation index of New Zealand white rabbits is calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under non- irritant category at the tested dose level of 0.5 gm.
