Skin sensitisation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Type of information:

migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

23.09.1996 to 12.12.1996

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

The study was conducted according to the appropriate OECD test guideline, and in compliance with GLP, and is therefore considered to be reliability 1. Read-across of the result is considered to be reliability 2. Further information on read-across is given in the endpoint summary.

No. of animals per dose:

Pretest: 3
Main test: 20
Main control: 10

Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: The undiluted test substance was determined to be the highest non-irritating concentration. Therefore the test substance was applied undiluted in the induction and challenge phases.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: three
- Exposure period: six hours
- Site: Flank regions (left)
- Frequency of applications: Day 0, day 7 and day 14
- Concentrations: 100 %


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: day 28
- Exposure period: six hours
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 100 %
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.

Challenge controls:

Test substance applied to animals exposed to vehicle only in induction phases.

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

Results with a standard allergen are presented, but the identity of the allergen does not appear to have been included.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

In a skin sensitisation study (Buehler test) conducted to OECD 406 and to GLP (reliability score 1) (3-chloropropyl)diethoxymethylsilane was not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs. No local or systemic effects were observed in this study.
