Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Five male and five female Wistar (RccHan:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink-marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals weighed at least 200 g, and were 8 to 12 weeks of age. The weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean weight for each sex. The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on dermal exposure:

Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, a group of five male and five female rats was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The appropriate amount of test item, moistened with arachis oil BP, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area). A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. The animals were caged individually for the 24-Hour exposure period. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place.

Duration of exposure:

24-Hour exposure period

Doses:

A group of five male and five female rats was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

A group of five male and five female rats were treated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

Executive summary:

In a Klimisch 1 GLP study from Sander (2015) the acute dermal toxicity of amidoamie test item in male and female Wistar (RccHan:WIST) strain rats with 2000 mg/kg bw was investigated. There were no signs of toxicity and no deaths. All animals gained the expected body weight throughout the whole experimental period and did not elicit gross pathological findings. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw. In conclusion, there is no hazard for acute dermal toxicity.
