RANGE FINDING TESTS:
On request of the sponsor, the skin irritating effect of the test item in the vehicle paraffin subliqu. was examined initially in four instead of two animals during a dermal preliminary investigation in order to find out the minimal irritating concentration for the dermal induction and the maximum non-irritating concentration of the test item for the challenge application.
Animals for the dermal preliminary investigation were initially pre-treated with adjuvant (FCA) by injecting the adjuvant four times intradermal in the scapular area of each animal. Three weeks after the pre-treatment with the adjuvant, a 24-hour occlusive application of four concentrations of the test item on the flanks of the four pre-treated animals took place during the dermal preliminary investigation. Appearing skin reactions were assessed after 24 hrs and 48 hrs.
On the basis of the results of the preliminary investigations the following concentration levels in the vehicle paraffin subliqu. were chosen according to the agreement with the sponsor:
- intradermal induction with 5 % (w/w) test item
- dermal induction with 100 % (w/w) test item
- challenge treatment the 50 % (w/w) test item

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE Intradermal
- No. of exposures: 3 simultaneous injections (dose volume 0.1 mL)
- Test groups:
Injection (1) - 1:1-mixture (v/v) of FCA and NaCI 0.9 %
Injection (2) - 5 % (w/w) test item in the vehicle paraffin subliqu.
Injection (3) - 5 % (w/w) test item in a 1:1-mixture (v/v) of FCA and NaCI 0.9 %
- Control group:
Injection (1) - 1:1-mixture (v/v) of FCA and NaCI 0.9 %
Injection (2) - vehicle paraffin subliqu.
Injection (3) - 50 % (w/v) preparation of the vehicle paraffin subliqu. in a 1:1-mixture (v/v) of FCA and NaCI 0.9 %

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (historical control)

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

The sensitization potential of the positive reference item has been shown sufficiently by the response of 10 of 10 guinea pigs (100 %) of the test group with positive skin reactions (erythema grade 1 to 3).
