Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 3 160 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
There were no animal deaths prior to study termination.
Clinical signs:
other: Overall low incidence of clinical in-life observations. -Most frequently noticed: desquamation, atonia, leathery skin, and eschar. At the termination of the study all animals exhibited desquamation. -Low Incidences: soft stool and small amount of stool,
Gross pathology:
All animals displayed very slight to well-defined erythema from day 0 to day 7. By day 14, only two animals still showed erythema; one having a very slight grade noted. Many animals exhibited very slight edema in a similar time frame.

Desquamation (6 animals), atonia (2 animals), leathery skin (2 animals), and eschar (1 animal) were noted through out the observational time period. At the termination of the study all animals exhibited desquamation.

Two animals were noted as being hyperactive and having a red nasal discharge after dosing. There was a single incidence of slight vocalization following dosing.
Other findings:
GROSS POSTMORTEM EXAMINATION
Alopecia for 1 animal (abdominal).
Severe erythema for 1 animal at the dosing site.
Desquamation for all animals at the dosing site.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 > 3160 mg/kg based on these data, MRD-83-208 is not classified under EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations. MRD-83-208 is also not classified under GHS guidelines.
Executive summary:

Three male and female rabbits were exposed to MRD-83 -208 for 24 hrs via an occluded patch. Dermal evaluations occurred at 24 hrs post patch removal and on days 3, 7, 10, 14. Exposure had no affect on viability; all animals survived the exposure. It is concluded that the LD50 in this situation is greater than 3160 mg/kg. MRD-83 -208 is not classified under EU dangerous substances and preparations guidelines. MRD-83 -208 is also not classified under GHS guidelines.
