Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Pentacarbonyliron
EC Number:
236-670-8
EC Name:
Pentacarbonyliron
Cas Number:
13463-40-6
Molecular formula:
C5FeO5
IUPAC Name:
pentacarbonyliron

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Vienna White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The animals were identified via ear tattoo. The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 20 - 24°C for temperature and of 30 - 70% for relative humidity. There were no deviations from these ranges which influenced the results of the study.
No bedding were used (saw-dust in the waste trays). Diet was Kliba 341 and drinking water was about 250 ml per animals and day. The acclimatization period was at least 8 days before beginning of the study with the same housing conditions as during the test period.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
Clipping of the fur was at least 15 h before the beginning of the study. The application site was the upper third of the back or flanks. Removal of the test substance: at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1). The observation period was 72 h and readings were done 30 - 60 min after removal of the test patches and 24, 48, 72 h after the beginning of the application.

Very slight to well-defined redness was observed 4 hours after application. These effects were reversible within 24 h. No effects on edema. One animal died after 72 h after application. This death was not substance-related.
