Conclusions:

The acute dermal toxicity study with Hydroxyethyl-2-nitro-p-toluidine in rats (limit test) revealed a dermal LD50 of > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

Hydroxyethyl-2-nitro-p-toluidine,moistened with distilled water immediately before testing, was administered to the dorsal skin of 5 male and 5 female young-adult Sprague Dawley rats (Him:OFA, SPF), clipped free of hair the day before. The treated area of 30 cm² (equal to about 10% of the body surface) was covered by a cellulose patch and kept in place by a tape. An additional cover of Fixomull dressing was added (semi-occlusive conditions). After 24 hours exposure the dressing, the dressing, tape and patch were removed and residual test substance was wiped off. Clinical signs were noted at 1 min, 10 min, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after administration, and at least once daily for the 2 week observation period. Body weight was determined before administration and on days 7 and 14 after administration of the test substance. All animals survived until the end of the observation period. The body weight gain revealed no treatment related effects. Slight and temporary clinical signs such as chromodacryorrhoea and ruffled fur were noted in 3 of 5 animals for both sexes. Those changes vanished in all animals within the first 2 days after administration.
