Executive summary:

Five male and five female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats were treated with ucb 22060 at 2000 mg/kg by dermal application. The test item was diluted in vehicle (purified water) at a concentration of 0.5 g/mL and administered at a volume dosage of 4 mUkg. The application period was 24 hours. The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded twice daily during test days 1-15. Body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined microscopically. No deaths occurred during the study. No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study. One female animal showed a loss of body weight (2.8%) during the first observation week whereas another female did not gain body weight between test day 8 and the end of the observation period. The body weight of the remaining animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.
