Summary The results of the primary skin irritation test conducted from
January 17, 1984 to January 20, 1984 at Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota indicate that T-3493 is non-irritating (0.0/8.0) to the skin of female albino rabbits. Neither erythema nor edema were noted at any time during the study.
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the primary skin
irritation potential of T-3493 to the skin of female albino rabbits. This study is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration's Good Laboratory Practice Regulation of 1978, although the standard operating procedures of this laboratory adhere to the general principles of this regulation. The raw data generated by the Study Director and the final report are stored in the conducting laboratory's archives.

Method and Results Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand breed^ were used in the evaluation
of the primary skin irritating properties of the test article. The test procedure was modeled after that of Draize _et al-- .
One day prior to the application of the test article, the hair was clipped from the back and flanks of each rabbit and two test sites selected lateral to the midline of the back approximately ten centimeters apart. One of the two sites was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular to the other two, while the other test site remained intact.
The test article (0.5 g) was applied to each of the test sites on each rabbit and immediately covered with two-inch square gauze patches. The patches, which were placed directly over the test sites, were secured with gauze wrap.
.c The trunk of each animal was then wrapped with impervious plastic sheeting-- which held the patches in position during the one day exposure period.
At the end of one day, the plastic wrappings, patches, and all residual test article were removed^. One hour and 48 hours after removal of the test article, the intact and abraded test sites were examined and scored separately for erythema and edema on a graded scale of 0 - 4.
The average irritation produced was evaluated by adding the mean scores for erythema and edema of the intact test sites one and 48 hours post removal of the test article. Similarly, the mean scores for erythema and edema of the abraded test sites were added.

The rating for a test article may be increased if the reactions caused
are beyond simple erythema and edema, e.g. necrosis, escharosis, hemorrhage.

To determine the primary irritation potential of the test article to the skin o f ___6___ animals. Rabbits were selected as the test system due to their historical use, sensitivity to irritants, ease of handling and general availability.
METHOD:
The animals will be housed in standard wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled rooms with food and water offered ad libitum. Each animal will be assigned a numbered ear tag, which will correspond to a card affixed to the outside of the cage. Prior to the application of the test article, the hair
will be clipped from the back and flanks of each animal a n d ______ Z_______ test sites selected lateral
to the midline of the back approximately ten centimeters apart------1__ of the - 2 ___ sites will be abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular to the other two, while the other test site(s) will remain intact. The test article (------- S s is -------------) will be applied t o 1___ abraded a n d ___ 1-- _ _ intact site(s) on each animal, covered with -- canzg------------- and secured with . -fearer -v '' t./; The trunk of each animal will then be wrapped with impervious plastic sheeting which will occlude the test article during the 1 day exposure period. One hour and 48 hours after removal of the test article, the intact and abraded test sites will be examined and scored separately for erythema and edem a on a graded scale of 0 to 4 b. The average irritation produced will be evaluated by adding the mean scores for erythema and edem a of the intact test sites one and 48 hours post removal of the test article. Simi larly, the mean scores for erythema and edem a of the abraded test sites will be added. These two values will be totaled and divided by four to obtain the mean primary irritation index and then assigned a descriptive primary skin irritation rating as follows:
Mean Primary Irritation Score

The rating for a test article may be increased if the reaction caused is beyond erythema and edema and are deemed to be of importance in the interpretation of the results. All raw data generated by the study director and the final report will be stored in the Riker Laboratories' Archiv, St. Paul, Minnesota.
