Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in New Zeland White rabbits. One groupd of ten rabbits (5 males and 5 females) was dermally administed the test article at 2000mg/ kg bw. Clinical observations were recorded after unwrapping and daily from day 2 -15.

One animal was found dead on day 8. Clinical signs included abnormal gait and abnormal stance were observed on days 2- 15. Decreased activity and decreased body tone were observed on days 6-13 and 7-15 respectively with poor grooming observed on days 8-15. Erythema, edema, necrosis, fissuring and sloughing of the skin at the application site was also observed.

No visible lesions were observed in any of the animals at terminal necropsy. The animal found dead on day 8 exhibited mottled kidneys and bright red lungs.

The dermal LD50 of the test item was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw
