RANGE FINDING TESTS
- Intradermal injections:
Intradermal injections were made into the clipped flank of animals at concentrations of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0% of the test substance in Alembicol D. The reactions were examined after 24 and 72 hours for size, erythema and oedema.
As well-defined erythema (grade 2) was observed with 7.5% in both animals, this concentration was selected as the intradermal induction concentration.

- Epidermal application:
Patches of filter paper (2x4 cm) were saturated with 0.4 ml of the undiluted test substance at the concentration of 60% in Alembicol D. These were applied to the clipped and shaved flanks of each of 2 males and 2 females and were covered by a length of impermeable plastic adhesive tape. This was firmly secured by elastic adhesive bandage wrapped around the trunk and fixed with "Sleek" impervious plastic adhesive tape. The patches were removed 48 hours after application and the treatment sites were examined immediately and 24 hours and 48 hours after removal of the patches.
At 60% in three animals only very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed immediately after patch removal and in three animals after 24 and 48 hours, in one animal a well-defined erythema (grade 2) was observed after 24 and 48 hours, and in one animal a necrotic patch was observed. Therefore, this concentration was used for the topical induction concentration.
As at 50% no erythema was observed at any time of observation, this concentration was used for the highest challenge exposure.

- Concentration: 7.5%
- Site: the dorsal scapular region

Control group:
1) Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) 50:50 with water for irrigation
2) Alembicol D
3) 50:50 mixture of FCA with water for irrigation
- Readings: daily
- Results: Erythema and edema was observed in both groups

2) Topical applications one week after the injections:
- Concentration: 60%
- Amount: saturated patch (control animals: water for irrigation only)
- Area: 8 cm2
- Exposure period: 48 hours (occlusive)
- Readings: immediately after patch removal and 24 and 48 hours after patch removal

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (control and test group)
- Day of challenge: 2 weeks after the epidermal induction application
- Concentrations: 25 and 50%
- Exposure period: 24 hours (occlusive)
- Sites: left flank, anterior and posterior sites
- Amount: saturated patch
- Readings: at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Formalin

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The results of the latest sensitivity check of August-September 1991 showed that the system was responsive (10 of 10 animals reacted positive).

Any other information on results incl. tables

Preliminary study:

- At topical application of 60% no edema was observed at any time point and in three animals a very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed immediately after patch removal and in all four exposed animals after 24 and 48 hours, of which in one animal a well-defined erythema (grade 2) was observed after 24 and 48 hours, and in one animal a necrotic patch was observed. Therefore, this concentration was used for the topical induction concentration. As at 50% no erythema was observed at any time of observation, this concentration was used for the highest challenge exposure.

Main study:

- The body weight gain of the animals was normal, no signs of ill health, no systemic toxicity and no mortality was seen.

- The ten animals exposed to negative control did not show any signs of irritation.

- Intradermal injections: Application area around the injection sites (at 7.5%) was found to show a slight irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Skin sensitizer Category 1B
Remarks:
According to EU CLP (EC/1272/2008 and its amendments).
Conclusions:
In a guinea pig maximisation test performed similar to OECD 406 (1981) and according to GLP principles, the substance is considered a 1B skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of Prismantol was tested in a guinea pig maximisation test performed similar to OECD 406 (1981) and according to GLP principles. A concentration of 7.5% was used for the intradermal induction, 60% for the epidermal induction and 25 and 50% for the topical challenge. The substance produced evidence of skin sensitization in all tested twenty animals and therefore was considered a skin sensitiser. Because ≥ 30% (100%) of animals responded at a dose of > 1% (7.5%), Prismantol is 1B sensitizer.
