Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
25.0% in corn oil (w/w)
Due to its low water solubility n-octyl chloride can not be applied using water as vehicle. However, n-octlyl chloride can be easily mixed with oil. In a pre-study 2.5, 25 and 50% n-octyl chloride were tested. A solution of 25% n-octyl chloride in corn oil was found to be the highest non-irritation concentration following repeated dosing and was therefore used in the main study.
