Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Kisslegg, Germany
- Age at study initiation: Animals used withihn the study were at least 6 weeks old.
- Weight at study initiation: Body weights were at least 1.0 kg .
- Housing: Animals were housed individually in cages with perforated floors.
- Diet: Free access to pelleted diet for rabbits (Global Diet 2030 from Harlan Teklad, Italy). Hay and wooden sticks were available during the study period.
- Water: Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Environmental controls for the animal room were set to maintain 18 to 24°C, a relative humidity of 40 to 70%, approximately 15 room air changes/hour, and a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Any variations to these conditions were maintained in the raw data and had no effect on the outcome of the study.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 26 March - 05 April 2013

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Adjacent areas of the untreated skin of each animal served as controls.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application.
Observation period:
14 days.
Number of animals:
3 males.
Details on study design:
STUDY DESIGN
The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit (sentinel). The two other animals were treated in a similar manner 7 days later, after considering the degree of skin irritation observed in the first animal.

TEST SUBSTANCE PREPARATION
The test substance was applied undiluted as delivered by the sponsor. No corrections were made for the purity/composition of the test substance, since the guidelines requires a fixed amount that has to be applied.

TEST SITE
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal fur was clipped with electric clippers, exposing an area of approximately 150 square centimeters (10x15 cm). To facilitate scoring, treated skin areas were re-clipped at least 3 hours before the observations.

The test substance was applied to the skin of one flank, using a patch of 2x3 cm.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
Four hours after the application, the dressing was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using tap water and watery ethanol (50% v/v).

OBSERVATIONS
- Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
- Toxicity: At least once daily.
- Body Weight: Day of treatment (prior to application) and after the final observation.
- Necropsy: No necropsy was performed according to protocol.
- Irritation: The skin reactions were assessed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressings and test substance. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. Adjacent areas of the untreated skin of each animal served as controls.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The irritation was assessed according to the numerical scoring system according to OECD 404.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Irritation: Four hours exposure to 0.5 mL of m-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-N,N-bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)aniline resulted in very slight erythema and very slight oedema in the treated skin areas of the three rabbits. The skin irritation resolved within 48 hours after exposure in two animals and within 24 hours in the remaining animal.
Corrosion: There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin.
Other effects:
Coloration/remnants: No staining of the treated skin by the test substance was observed. Dry remnants of the test substance were present on the skin on Day 1.
Toxicity/mortality: No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
