Vehicle:

dimethylformamide

Concentration:

50%, 25%, 10%

No. of animals per dose:

4

Details on study design:

PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
- Compound solubility: 50%
- Irritation: no signs
- Systemic toxicity: no signs of excessive irritation
- Ear thickness measurements: 3 (Day 1: 0.20, Day 3: 0.20, Day 6: 0.22)
- Erythema scores: no signs

MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: ELISA TEST
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
% increase in ear thickness between day 1 and day 3 and/or between day 1 and day 6
<10% --> non irritant
10-25% --> slightly irritant
>25% --> irritant

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µL of the appropriate concentration of the test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). The test item formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Blue coloration not preventing quotation of erythema was noted in all animals treated at 10%, 25%
and 50%, between days 2 and 6.
No increase in ear thickness and in ear weight was noted in animals treated at 10%, 25% and 50%.
Therefore, the test item has to be considered as not excessively irritant at these concentrations.

BODY WEIGHTS
The mean of weights in each run, was that the animals gained weight.
