TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Wiga GmbH, Sandhofer Weg 7, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: male animals approx. 9 weeks, female animals approx. 13 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: Male: 256-268 gram, Female: 212-231 gram. Animals of comparable weight (± 20% of the mean weight)
- Housing: Single housing in Makrolon cage, type III. As bedding material H 15005-29; Ssniff, Spezialitäten GmbH (Experimental Animal Diets Inc., 59494 Soest, Germany) was used and for enrichment NGM E-022; ABEDD® LAB & VET Service GmbH, Hasnerstraße 84/6; 1160 Wien – Austria.
- Diet: VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany
- Water: Tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Acclimatization period of at least 5 days before the beginning of the experimental phase; during the acclimatization period, the animals were accustomed to the environmental conditions of the study and to the diet.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-25
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12h/12h

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Clipping of the fur: About 24 hours before administration
- Route of application: Single application to the clipped epidermis (dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk); covering of the application site with a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The test item was covered with an air-permeable dressing (4 layers of absorbent gauze (Ph. Eur. supplied by Lohmann GmbH & Co., KG) and stretch bandage (Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) supplied by Beiersdorf AG). Afterwards removal of the semi-occlusive dressing, rinsing of the application site with warm water.
- Area of exposure: About 40 cm² (corresponds to at least 10% of the body surface)
- Time of day of application: In the morning

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 4.97 mL/kg bw

Duration of exposure:

14 days

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Recording of clinical signs several times on the day of administration, and at least once daily thereafter each workday for the individual animals. A check for any dead or moribund animals was made at least once each workday, these records are archived by Bioassay. Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Necropsy with gross-pathology examination on the last day of the observation period after sacrifice with CO2 in a chamber with increasing concentrations over time.
