Erythema/Edema
After the intradermal induction with 5% test substance preparations well-defined erythema and slight edema were observed at the injection sites of the control group animals and test group animals at which only Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1:1) was applied. Injection of the test substance preparation in 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution caused necrotic skin changes in addition to slight edema in few injection sites and well-defined erythema and very slight edema in almost all injection sites of the animals of the test group. Necrotic skin changes and slight edema or well defined erythema and slight edema could be observed after application of the test substance preparation in Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 :1) in the test group animals.
The control group animals which were treated with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution did not show any skin reactions.
After the percutaneous induction with a 5% test substance preperations necrotic skin changes, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) in addition to slight edema could be observed.
The challenge with the 2% test substance preparations in aqua bidest. did not cause any skin reaction in all animals.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the test item was not sensitising.
- Executive summary:
In a guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD guideline 406 the animals (20 in test group, 10 controls) were subjected to 6 intradermal induction treatments with 0.1% test substance in aqua bidest, or 0.1% in Freund's adjuvant/aqua bidest (1:1) or Freund's adjuvant/aqua bidest (1:1) without test substance. Percutaneous induction was performed 1 week after the last induction with 5% test substance in aqua bidest. The animals were challenged with 2% in aqua bidest. and skin reaction examined 24 and 48 h after treatment. No positive reactions were observed.
