- Average bodyweight: 3.0 kg
- Housing: Individual housing in cages.
- Diet: Commercially available standard laboratory diet for rabbits ( Altromin, Lage, Germany).
- Water: Ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Room temperature kept constant at 18±2°C, the relative humidity at 50-60%. 12 hours illumination per day.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

other: The test material contained 50% WS400517 in organic solvent and was used after warming to 40°C

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

500 mg test material (i.e. formulation containing 50.3% WS400517) per approx. 6 cm2 skin (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) per animal.
The test material was warmed to 40°C for administration.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

7 days post patch removal

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

TEST SITE PREPARATION

Samples of 500 mg of the warmed test substance were applied to the shaved skin of albino rabbits and covered with gauze squares of the size 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm on the skin. Patches were fixed with adhesive plaster. Untreated shaved skin served as controls.

TREATMENT PERIOD AND REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

Semi-occlusive treatment lasted 4 hours. Then the dressings were removed and residual test substance was dabbed off the skin with a wet towel.

Time points of skin evaluation:

The treated skin patches were evaluated at 1 hour post patch removal and at 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days post patch removal. Only differences from controls were considered to be positive reactions. The scoring system for the grading of skin reactions is listed in Table 1 (next field below).

Reversibility:

fully reversible within: 24 h (edema grade 1 was seen in 1 animal at 1 hour post patch removal)

Irritant / corrosive response data:

At 1 hour post patch removal, erythema grade 1 (slight in degree and scarcely visible) was recorded in each animal and was associated with an edema grade 1 (very slight in degree and scarcely visible) in one of them. By 24 hours post patch removal and during the remainder of the 7-day observation period signs of irritation were no longer evident.

Other effects:

Mortality or behavioural changes indicative of an adverse effect were not evident. Weighing of the animals at 7 days post treatment revealed normal body weight gain.
