Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellent AI3-36393-Ga, U.S.D.A. Proprietary Compound.

Abstract

A hazard evaluation of AI3-36393-Ga was conducted using New Zealand White rabbits for skin and eye studies; Hartley guinea pigs for a skin sensitization study and Sprague-Dawley, Wistar-derived rats for determination of acute oral toxicity. The candidate insect repellent caused only moderate eye irritation, no sensitization reaction and did not demonstrate an acute ingestion hazard. It is recommended that AI3-36393-Ga be approved for further testing as a candidate insect repellent. (Author)
