title: [Dermatotoxicity studies of calcipotriol (MC903) ointment--primary skin irritation, skin sensitization, phototoxicity and skin photosensitization].
abstract: MC903 ointment was studied on primary skin irritation in rabbits and skin sensitization, skin photosensitization and phototoxicity in guinea-pigs. 1. MC903 ointment, ointment base and deteriorated MC903 ointment induced erythematous changes in rabbit skin. These erythematous changes were not so serious, and they were classified as a mild irritant. 2. MC903 ointment was almost negative in skin sensitization study. 3. MC903 ointment has no skin phototoxicity in guinea-pigs. 4. MC903 ointment has no skin photosensitizing activity in guinea-pigs.
