Details on study design:
Preliminary :
Animals that were previously exposed to FCA were tested for primary skin irritation. Hair was removed from the backs of the animals with an electric clipper and 0.3 mL of a 10% solution of the test compound in the vehicle was applied to the clipped area. Twenty-four hours later, the animals were depilated and scored for edema and erythema. The skin reaction was also scored at 48 hours. The highest average score for either day determined the concentration to be used in the challenge dose of the main study. The challenge dose was based on the highest concentration of the test substance (up to 10%) that produced no irritation for any of the three animals of a dose group in the primary irritation screen.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 footpad injection per animal
- Test groups: 10 male animals
- Control group: 10 male animlas receiving FCA
- Site: Footpad
- Frequency of applications: one
- Duration: 7 day waitng period until start of challenge
- Concentrations: 1 % v/v in Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 (epicutaneous)
- Day(s) of challenge: 7 days after the final induction
- Test groups: 10 male animals
- Control group: 10 male animals
- Site: dorsal region
- Concentrations: 10 v/v in vehicle
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 after challenge
Challenge controls:
The control animals were induced with 0.05 mL FCA only and challenged in the same way as test groups.

Degree and Nature of lrritation in the prelimiary study

In the primary irritation screen no signs of irritation were noted. In the sensitization study, no dermal responses were noted for the ten animals previously induced with FCA (control animals) or for the ten animals previously induced with 1% of the test substance in FCA (test animals). Based on these results, the test animals were graded as having no sensitization response to the test substance after the challenge application.

Sensitization

No sensitization reactions were observed. All respective erytheme and edema were 0.

Toxic effect other than irritation

No toxic effects or systemic clinical signs were noted during the study.

Body Weights

All animals gained weight during the study
