Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential toxicity of the test item CH0222 WP30 after a single topical application for a 24-hour exposure period on Wistar rat skin.

5 male and 5 female Wistar rats (RjHan: WI, SPF albino rats from Janvier) were treated at 2000 mg/kg corresponding to the limit test.

On the day of application (Dl), a weight based quantity of test item was moistened with purified water and applied directly onto the dorsal part of the trunk of each animal which had been clipped the day before. The test item was evenly spread over the application site which represented at least lO% of the body surface. The application site was then covered with a gauze patch held in close contact with the skin by means of a non occlusive tape for a 24h exposure period. At the end of the exposure period, the patch was removed and the test site was wiped with a cotton pad soaked with purified water.

Animals were observed at least once daily for mortality and general clinical signs for 15 days and were weighed on Dl, D3, D8 and D15.

Skin reactions were evaluated for all animals approximately 1 hour (D2), 24h (D3), 48h (D4) and 72h (DS) after patch removal at the end of the contact period and on D8 and Dll. The responses, erythema and edema, were scored according to a table graded from 0 (no skin reaction) up to 4 (severe reaction).

No death occurred during the course of the study and no abnormal clinical sign was observed.

Body weight evolution was not affected by the treatment for males whereas a slight body weight loss was observed in 4/5 females between Dl and D3 but weight increase was restored thereafter. This transient observation on body weight evolution was most probably related to the non occlusive tape.

.

As no mortality was observed, CH0222 WP30 is not classified and the DL 50 by dermal application was estimated to be higher than 2000 mg/kg.
