ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- according to guideline



Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
0.5 g of the test substance were moistened with 1.6 ml of demineralized water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 1.6 ml
- Purity: demineralized water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h (occlusive patch)
Observation period:
3 d (p. appl.)
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: ca. 6.25 cm²
- % coverage: entire area of exposure
- Type of wrap (if used): The site of application was covered with a linen cloth which adhered to a synthetic film glue. A bandage (width 8 cm) wrapped several times around the trunk of the animal provided a complete occlusion.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Remaining Test material was gently washed off as far as posssible.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
Irritation index (Draize grade) for
- erythema and eschar
- edema
Primary irritation index modified according to Gilman et al, 1983

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
L-Alanyl-L-glutamine was tested on rabbits for skin irritation / skin corrosion properties. The primary irritation index was 0.0. The substance was non-irritant to rabbit skin following a single four-hour application.
