key study

Study period:

23.03.1993 to 03.05.1993

Migrated information

Conclusions:

In a skin sensitisation study (reliability score 1) conducted according to OECD 406 and to GLP, Dynasylan IBTMO (isobutyltrimethoxysilane) was not sensitising to the skin of Dunkin-Hartley guinea-pigs. There were no systemic effects reported.

Executive summary:

Dynasylan IBTMO (isobutyltrimethoxysilane) was tested in a traditional Buehler skin sensitisation study, to GLP. Twenty Dunkin-Hartley guinea-pigs were exposed to three separate induction phases on their shaved left flanks. On Day 0 undiluted test substance was applied under an occlusive patch for six hours. On Day 7 this process was repeated with a 50% solution in corn oil. On Day 14 the process was repeated again with a 50% solution in corn oil. After each application the skin was monitored for reactions. Ten negative controls had patches with corn oil only applied to their left flanks. On Day 28 both negative controls and test animals had an occlusive patch of 50% test substance (in corn oil) applied to their right flanks. After six hours the dressings were removed and the areas wiped with corn oil. The skin was then assessed at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration. There were no skin reactions in any of the test or negative control animals during the challenge phase. The test substance was not a skin sensitiser.
