Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
according to Draize et al. (1944): J. Pharmacol. & Exper. Therap. 82, 377
Penetration of rabbit skin is estimated by a technique closely skin to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates, using groups of four male albinorabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg. The fur is removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose is retained beneath an impervious plastic film.The animals are immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film is removed and the rabbits are caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period.
GLP compliance:
no

Executive summary:

Penetration of New Zealand White rabbit skin is estimated by a technique closely skin to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates, using groups of four male rabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg. The fur is removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose is retained beneath an impervious plastic film.The animals are immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film is removed and the rabbits are caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period. The LD50 value of the test substance was found to be 768 mg/kg bw.
