Approximately 0.5 mL. of the test substance was applied to the shaved, intact skin of each rabbit and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for a 4-hour exposure. Approximately 1, 24 and 48 hours after removal of the test substance, the test sites were evaluated for erythema, edema, and other evidence of dermal effects and were scored according to the Draize Scale. The adjacent areas of untreated skin were used for comparison. H-21209 produced no or slight erythema but no edema by 1 hour after removal of the test substance. By 24 hours, slight or mild erythema and no or slight edema were observed. By 48 hours after removal of the test substance, no or slight erythema and no or slight edema were observed. In addition, 3 rabbits exhibited epidermal desquamation. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the study. Und`*r the conditions of this study, H-21209 was a mild skin irritant.

MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Animal Husbandry Young adult male HM:(NZW)fBR New Zealand White rabbits wt-e received from Hare Marland, Hewitt, New Jersey. The rabbits were housed singly in suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rabbit was assigned a unique identification number which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. The last 3 digits of the identification number were written on the inside of each rabbit's ear with a water insoluble marker. The rabbits were offered approximately 125 grams of Purina Certified High Fiber Rabbit Chow #5325 daily during the study. Water was available ad libitum except during the exposure period while the animals were m stocks. Haskell Laboratory has an animal health monitoring program. This program is monitored and administered by the Laboratory Veterinarian. Water samples are periodically analyzed for total bacterial counts and for the presence of coliforms, lead, and other contaminants. Additionally, samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are periodically analyzed to assure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers. Data from this program are maintained separately from study records. Animal feed is certified by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and to be free of a list of specified contaminants. On the basis of these analyses, there is no evidence suggesting that contaminants were present in the feed or water in amounts which may have interfered with the results of this study. Rabbits were quarantined, weighed, and observed for general health for approximately 2 weeks. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer controlled, 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Environmental conditions of the rooms were targeted for a temperature of 20C 1C and relative humidity of 50% + 10%. Excursions outside these ranges were judged to have been of insufficient magnitude and/or duration to have adversely affected the validity of the study. B. Protocol On the day prior to treatment, the hair of >' male New Zealand White rabbits was closely shaved to expose the skin from the scapular to the lumbar region of the back. The body weights of the rabbits ranged from 2074 to 2162 grams on the day of treatment. -4- Sanitized.

The rabbits remained in the stocks throughout the exposure period and during that time did not have access to food cr water. Approximately 0.5 mL of H-21209 was applied directly on the test site beneath a 2-inch gauze square that was held in place with non-irritating tape. The rubber sheeting was then wrapped around the animal and secured with clips to retard evaporation and to keep the test substance in contact with the skin without undue pressure. Three other test substances were tested concurrently on separate, localized test sites on the backs of these rabbits. In the absence of visible evidence to the contrary, the test substance was assumed to be stable under the conditions of administration. Approximately 4 hours after application of the test substance, the rubber sheeting was loosened, and the skin at the corners of the gauze squares was marked with a waterproof pen, wrappings and gauze squares were then removed. The test sites were gently washed with Ivory soap and warm water to remove excess test substance. The skin was gently patted dry, and the animals were returned to their cages. Approximately 1, 24 and 48 hours after removal of the test substance, the test sites were evaluated for ervthema, edema, and other evidence of de.rh.il effects and were scored according to the Draize scale (Table I). The adjacent areas of the untreated skin were used for comparison. Additionally, the rabbits were examined for clinical signs of toxicity at each dermal evaluation. C.
