Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Before BPL and guidelines
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- ASA: in an isotonic phosphate buffer at pH7. The volume injected in each case was 0.1 ml. The 5 injections were administered on Days 0, 2, 5, 8 and 12.On Day 16, the contact solution was applied. Each time, we used a mixture of acetone-almond oil in a 1:1 ratio (V:V).
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Species:
- guinea pig
- Strain:
- not specified
- Sex:
- not specified
- Route:
- intradermal
- Concentration / amount:
- 200 and 100 mg/ml
- Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Concentration / amount:
- 200 and 100 mg/ml
- No. of animals per dose:
- 10
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- acetylsalicylic acid anhydride (ASAN)
- Reading:
- 1st reading
- Hours after challenge:
- 24
- Group:
- test chemical
- Dose level:
- 200 mg/mL
- No. with + reactions:
- 0
- Total no. in group:
- 0
- Remarks on result:
- other: Reading: 1st reading. . Hours after challenge: 24.0. Group: test group. Dose level: 200 mg/mL. No with. + reactions: 0.0. Total no. in groups: 0.0.
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- ASA is not sensitizing in a guinea pig test comparable to maximisation.
- Executive summary:
ASA tested at high doses ( induction at 200 and 100 mg/ml intracutaneous) in guinea pigs, with a normal amount ( 0.01%) od the sensitising impurity ASAN, was totally negative in ths assay.
Reference
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
ASA being not a skin sensitiser is also considered as a non respiratory sensitiser.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
ASA was not sensitising in the guinea pig and compared to an impurity (ASAN: acetyl salicylic anhydride) which is sensitising
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
ASA being not a skin sensitiser is also considered as a non respiratory sensitiser.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Not a sensitizer
