Any other information on results incl. tables

Pretest:

In the preliminary test, the minimum irritant concentration was found to be a 75% test substance preparation in olive oil DAB 9 and the maximum non-irritant concentration at 50% test substance preparation in olive oil DAB 9.

Intradermal induction:
Readings after 24 h:
Treatment with adjuvant: animals showed distinct erythema and edema
Treatment with test substance: animals showed distinct erythema and slight edema
Treatment with test substance and adjuvant: animals showed exhibited necrotic skin changes in addition to distinct edema in almost all application areas
Control with adjuvant: animals showed distinct erythema and edema
Control with vehicle: animals showed distinct erythema
Control with vehicle and adjuvant: animals showed distinct erythema and edema

Epicutanous induction:
Readings after 48 h
Treatment with test substance: necrotic skin changes in addition to distinct edema were observed in the test animals.
Control with vehicle: animals exhibited incrustation partially open in addition to distinct erythema and edema except of two animals which showed incrustation in addition to distinct erythema and edema.

Challenge:
The number of animals with skin findings after the challenge (21 days after intradermal induction) is summarized in the following table:

                  Challenge
50% TS in olive oil DAB9 olive oil DAB9
Control group 1 0/5 0/5
Control group 2* no TS application 2/5
Test group 0/10 2/10
x/y: number of positive reactions/number of animals tested; readings 24 h after removal of the patch
*: Control group 2 that had been intended for a potential 2nd challenge was not needed, since a 2nd challenge was not necessary on the basis of the unambiguous results of the 1st challenge

The challenge with the 50 % test substance preparation in olive oil DAB 9 did not cause any skin reactions, neither in the test animals nor in the animals of control group.
Olive oil DAB 9 applied as a vehicle caused slight erythema in 2 of 10 test group animals and in 2 out of 5 animals of control group 2.

Conclusion:
Under these test conditions and following the results described above 2-Methylbuten-3-ol-2 does not have a skin sensitizing effect in the guinea pig.
