Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: 100%, 50%, 20%. 10%, 5%, 2% and 1% test article concentrations were used in the preliminary irritation study to determine what concentration should be used in the main study. This test was conducted identically to the main study, but some animals were from the Himalayan strain (4 to 9 weeks of age). Intradermal injections and epidermal applications were also used.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 6 (3 pairs of intradermal injections)
- Exposure period: 48 hours (epidermal exposure)
- Test groups: 1 test group (n=10 animals)
- Control group: treated as descrbed for the experimental animals except that the vehicle alone was administered. (n=5 animals)
- Site: scapular region (injections on each side of the midline and from cranial to caudal).
- Frequency of applications: single injections, single epidermal application.
- Duration:
- Concentrations: Intradermal injections concentrations consisted of 1 ml/site injections of A) 1:1 w/w mixture of Freunds' Complete Adjuvant with water B) 2% concentration of the test substance C) A 1:1 w/w mixture of the test substance, at twice the concentration used in B) and Freunds' Complete Adjuvant. 0.5 ml of a 50% test article concentration was used for the epidermal exposure.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: The start of the challenge was on Day 22
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: 1 test group (n=10)
- Control group: 1 control group (n=5)
- Site: scapular
- Concentrations:50% test substance (0.1 ml).
- Evaluation (hr after challenge):24 and 48 hours after removal of dressing.
OTHER: On day 8 of the induction exposure, the area of the injection sites were treated with 10% sodium-dodecyl-sulfate in vaseline.

Challenge readings were made 24 and 48 hours after the exposure period. No mortality occured during the study and body weights and body weight gain remained in the same range as controls over the study period. No edema or necrosis was observed in any of the animals.The positive reactions observed were erythema, which was observed in all test substance treated animals in the induction and challenge phases. Observations in the challenge readings indicate scaliness in 6 test animals and sensitisation in all ten test animals. The reactions observed after the epidermal induction exposure was enhanced by SDS treatment. Skin reactions varying between grades 1 and 3 were observed in all experiemental animals in response to 50% test substance concentrations in the challenge phase.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test substance concentration in all of the ten experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitization (sensitization rate of 100%), based on the absence of any response in control animals. According to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements 2nd ATP of the CLP regulation, the test substance should be classified as Skin Sens. Cat 1B.

Executive summary:

The contact hypersensitivity potential of T-7600, C4 -Acrylate, in the Albino Guinea Pig (Maximisation Test) was assessed in Dunkin Hartley Guinea Pigs. This study was based on the guidelines described in OECD No. 406., EC Commission Directive 96/54/EC, EPA OPPTS 870.2600. The test substance concentrations used in the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 2% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentrations of the test article. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with the vehicle alone (corn oil). Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 50% test substance concentration and the vehicle. In the challenge phase, skin reactions varied between grades 1 and 3 were observed in all experimental animals in response to the 50% test substance concentration. No skin reactions were evident in the control animals. Scaliness was seen in some treated skin sites among the experimental animals. The skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test substance concentration in all ten experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitization (sensitization rate of 100 %).

According to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements 2nd ATP of the CLP regulation, the test substance should be classified as Skin Sens. Cat 1B.
