Irritant / corrosive response data:
All animals survived to study termination, were free of adverse clinical signs, and displayed normal body weight patterns during the test period.

Topical application of the test substance to the skin of rabbits elicited dermal irritation in all animals during the study. Erythema and edema were observed in all animals.

Erythema started as Grade 2 erythema in all animals at the 60-minute evaluation and remained the same at the 24-hour evaluation. Erythema increased slightly at the 48- hour evaluation when two animals displayed Grade 2 erythema and one animal displayed Grade 3 erythema. Erythema reached its maximum severity at the 72- hour evaluation when one animal displayed Grade 2 erythema and two animals displayed Grade 3 erythema. Erythema subsided after the 72-hour evaluation and on Days 7 and 10 all animals displayed Grade 1 erythema. At the Day 14 evaluation one animal displayed Grade 1 erythema.

Edema was first noted and was most severe at the 60-minute evaluation. Grade 2 edema was noted for all animals at this interval. Edema decreased slightly at the 24 and 48-hour evaluations when Grade 1 edema was noted in two animals and Grade 2 edema was noted in one animal. Edema increased slightly at the 72-hour evaluation when one animal displayed Grade 1 edema and two animals displayed Grade 2 edema. At the Day 7 evaluation Grade 1 edema was displayed by two animals and Grade 3 edema was displayed for one animal. After the Day 7 evaluation edema subsided. One animal displayed Grade 2 edema at Day 10 and one animal displayed Grade 1 edema at Day 14.
Supplemental dermal observations, which included desquamation and cracking, were noted on Days 7 and 10. Desquamation was noted for all animals at both intervals and cracking was noted for one animal on Day 7.
Interpretation of results:
other: Irritating
Remarks:
R38 Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The average erythema score (24, 48, and 72 hours) was 2.33. The average edema score (24, 48, and 72 hours) was 1.1. The test material would be classified as a Category 2 dermal irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP). The test material would be classified as an R38 dermal irritant under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

In this study, 3 rabbits were subjected to a 4h dermal (shaved) exposure of 0.5 ml of MRD-00-710 via a semi-occluded patch. Dermal responses were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72h post-dosing and once a day for a total of 14 days according to the Draize method of scoring. Topical application of MRD-00-710 elicited dermal responses in all animals. Well defined erythema and slight odema followed exposure.  The average erythema score (24, 48, and 72 hours) was 2.33.  The average edema score (24, 48, and 72 hours) was 1.1.  The test material would be classified as a Category 2 dermal irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP). The test material would be classified as an R38 dermal irritant under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
