TEST PROCEDURE
The following preparations were used for the intradermal injections:
Control group
1.) 50% Freund´s Complete Adjuvant emulsion
Original Freund's Complete Adjuvant (Sigma Chemical Company) was mixed immediately before use with an equal volume of deionized water.
2.) Deionized water (Vehicle)
3.) 50% Freund´s Complete Adjuvant emulsion mixed with an equal volume of the vehicle
Treatment group
1.) 50% Freund's Complete Adjuvant emulsion
Original Freund's Complete Adjuvant (Sigma Chemical Company) was mixed immediately before use with an equal volume of deionized water.
2.) 5% test substance in deionized water.
3.) 5% test substance in a 50% Freund's Complete Adjuvant emulsion
For the intradermal injections of the test substance in 50% Freund's adjuvant, test substance was dissolved in deionized water and then mixed with an equal volume of Freund's Original Adjuvant [percentages w/v].
For the dermal treatments, test substance was suspended in deionized water [percentages w/v]

MAIN TEST FOR THE SENSITIZING PROPERTIES
Chronological description of the test procedure indicating the day, at which procedure was carried out:
Study Day 1:
The body weight of the animals was determined. The guinea pigs were shaved mechanically over a dorsal area of 4 x 6 cm in the vicinity of the shoulders.
Study Day 1:
Intradermal induction treatment.
Two intradermal injections per animal of each preparation (i.e. 50% Freund's Adjuvants, 5% test substance in deionized water and 5% test substance in 50% Freund's Adjuvants) was given in the treatment group. Likewise control group was given two intradermal injections per animal of each preparation (i.e. 50% Freund's Adjuvants, deionized water and equal volume of deionized water and 50% Freund's Adjuvants).
Study Day 2 - 7:
The administration area was examined for local tolerance. Systemic toxic effects were recorded, when apparent.
Study Day 8:
Dermal induction treatment.
An amount of 0.5 mL of the test substance preparation (treatment group) or the vehicle (control group) was administered to a 2 x 4 cm cellulose patch. This patch covered the area where the intradermal injection had been placed. The administration area was then kept under an occlusive bandage covered with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage for 48 h.
Treatment group: 25% test substance in deionized water
Control group: deionized water
Study Day 10:
Occlusive bandage was removed, irritant effects were recorded, when apparent.
Study Day 11 - 21:
No treatment of control or treatment group.
Test animals were kept under observation.
Study Day 22:
Dermal challenge treatment
One area of approximately 5 x 5 cm on the left flank was shaved mechanically.
An amount of 0.5 mL of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch. The administration area was then kept for 24 h under an occlusive bandage covered with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage.
Treatment and control group (left flank): 25% test substance in deionized water
Study Day 23:
Occlusive bandage was removed. Any remnants of the test substance were carefully washed off with warm water.
Study Day 24:
Examination of the skin approximately 24 h after removal of the patches.
Study Day 25:
Examination of the skin approximately 48 h after removal of the patches.
Body weight of the test animals was determined.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde tested in another study

Any other information on results incl. tables

Main test:

Body weight gains and clinical signs: The body weight gains of the animals were not impaired. The treated animals showed no clinical signs of intoxication throughout the study.

Intradermal induction treatment: Intradermal injections with Freund's Adjuvant (with and without test substance) caused severe erythema and edema as well as indurations and encrustations. The administration sites treated with the test substance in deionized water showed well-defined erythema and edema. Intradermal injections of the vehicle alone exhibited no signs of irritation. Due to these strong irritation reactions of the skin, 10% sodium dodecylsulfate was not administered at 7 d.

Dermal induction treatment: After the removal of the patches at 10 d, severe erythema and edema, indurated and encrusted skin as well as necrosis and sporadically open wounds were observed at the sites previously treated with Freund's Adjuvant. The administration sites treated with the test substance alone showed well-defined erythema and edema, indurated and encrusted skin. The administration sites treated with the vehicle alone showed no signs of irritation.

Dermal challenge treatment: No skin reactions were observed in the control and the treatment group 24 and 48 h after removal of the occlusive bandage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance showed no evidence of sensitizing properties.
Executive summary:

A guinea pig maximization test was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 406, EPA OPPTS 870.2600 and EU Method B.6, in compliance with GLP.

 

Based on the results of a preliminary study, 5 and 25% of test substance in deionized water were selected as intradermal and dermal induction doses. The highest non-irritating concentration used for challenge application was 25% test substance in deionized water. None of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 h after removing the dressings.

 

Under the study conditions, the test substance showed no evidence of sensitizing properties.
