Other:
During the induction phase, the guinea pigs were examined on days 2, 3, 7, 11, 12, 15 and 22 for local skin reactions.
The behavior and general condition of all animals were monitored daily.
The body weight of the guinea pigs was determined prior to the start of the experimental part, on days 8, 15, 22, and at the end of the experimental part.
Challenge controls:
Data from the GLP study with Experimental part: April 11 until May 05, 2000.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Positive control data from a different GLP study showed a rate of skin sensitisation reaction of 80 %.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results of the pre-test:

Vehicle: Liquid paraffin

Intradermal induction: 5 g test material/L: slightly irritant

Topical induction: 50 g test material/L: slightly irritant

Topical challenge: 10 g test material/L: not irritant

Findings in the induction phase

After intradermal injection, the common signs of irritation after injection of Freund's complete adjuvant were observed. The injection sites were swollen and red, later on, scabs developed. The median with test material treated injection sites were swollen and red.

After removal of the patches, swollen application sites and scabs were observed at the application sites.

Findings after challenge

Group 1: negative control group

After challenge with liquid paraffin, no erythema or edema were observed at the readings.

Single treatment was performed with the test material (10 g/L liquid paraffin) to exclude the primary irritation potential of the test material. No positive reactions were observed in the treated areas at any reading.

Group 2: test material group

The challenge was performed on the right flank with liquid paraffin and with the test material preparation in liquid paraffin.

No positive reactions were observed in the areas treated with liquid paraffin at any reading.

After challenge with the test material (10 g/L preparation in liquid paraffin) no positive skin reactions were observed at the readings. This results in 0 % positive reactions at challenge.

Clinical findings and mortality

The clinical behavior of the guinea pigs was normal during the experimental part. All animals survived the experimental part.

Body weight

The body weight development corresponded to that of the animals of the vehicle group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the given experimental conditions, the test material induced no reactions and showed no skin sensitisation potential.
Executive summary:

An in vivo study in guinea pigs according to OECD 406 was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitsation potential of the test substance. 10 females were treated with the vehicles liquid paraffin (group 1) and 20 females were treated with the test material (group 2). The induction included intradermal injection of test material preparation in liquid paraffin (5 g/L with and without Freund's complete adjuvant) on experimental day 1, and topical application of test material preparation in liquid paraffin (50 g/L) for 48 hours on experimental day 8. The challenge was performed by topical application of the test material preparation (10 g/L) for 24 hours, two weeks after topical induction and readings were taken at 48 hours and 72 hours after start of treatment. After challenge no positive reactions were seen 48 or 72 hours after treatment with the test material. Based on the study results the test substance showed no skin sensitization potential.
