Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Age on day 0: Young adult animals (male animals approx. 8 weeks, female animals approx. 12 weeks)
Body weight on day 0: Animals of comparable weight (± 20% of the mean weight)

Room temperature / relative humidity: The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 22°C  3°C for temperature and of 30 – 70% for relative humidity. There were no deviations from these ranges, which influenced the results of the study.
Air changes per hour: Approx. 10

Type of cage: Makrolon cage, type III
Number of animals per cage: Single housing
Feeding: VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany, ad libitum
Drinking water: Tap water ad libitum

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
Route of application: Single application to the clipped skin (dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk); covering of the application site with a semi-occlusive dressing* for 24 hours. Afterwards removal of the semi-occlusive dressing, rinsing of the application site with warm water
Application area: About 40 cm² (corresponds to at least 10% of the body surface)
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
limit dose: 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Details on study design:
Observation period: 14 days

Body weight determination: Individual body weights shortly before application (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation.

Clinical observations: Clinical signs for each animal were recorded several times on the day of application and at least once during each workday thereafter.

Scoring of skin findings: Individual readings 30 – 60 minutes after removal of the semi-occlusive dressing (day 1), weekly thereafter /several times until the last day of observation / and on the last day of observation.

Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animals was made at least once each workday, these records are archived by Bioassay.

Pathology: Necropsy with gross-pathology examination was performed on the last day of the observation period after sacrifice by CO2-inhalation in a chamber with gradually increasing concentrations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test), young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the undiluted test item 3-[[3-[[(2-cyanoethyl)amino]methyl]-3,5,5- trimethylcyclohexyl]amino]propiononitrile to the clipped application site (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk and covered by semi-occlusive dressing during the 24-hour exposure period. The application area comprised at least 10% of the total body surface. The animals were observed for 14 days.
- No mortality occurred
- No signs of systemic toxicity were observed
- The following test item-related local skin effects were recorded during the course of the study, local effects occurred within 10 days after application:
- Well-defined erythema (grade 2)
- Incrustations
- Scaling
- All animals gained weight in a normal range throughout the study period.
- No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in any animal examined at the end of the study (5 males and 5 females).
Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be LD50, dermal, rat > 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose (LD50) of 3-[[3-[[(2-cyanoethyl)amino]methyl]-3,5,5- trimethylcyclohexyl]amino]propiononitrile after dermal application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
