Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- a preliminary test was conducted in order to determine the concentrations to be tested in the main study
- by intradermal route: 0.1 ml of the test substance at different concentrations at the dorsal region between the shoulders; evaluation after 24, 48 hours and six days after injection
- by cutaneous route: 0.5 ml of different concentration of the test substance were applied to a gauze pad (4cm²); occlusive dressing; exposure 24 h; evaluation after 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings;
- criteria for dose selection: concentration should be well tolerated systemically and locally; intradermal injections should cause moderate irritant effect; topical application for the induction should cause at most weak or moderate skin reaction; topical application for the challenge should should be the highest concentration which does not cause an irritant effect

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions a cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of the test substance were observed in 6 of 20 guinea-pigs when the test substance was applied at 50% (w/w). The test substance did not show sensitization effect at 10% (w/w).
Executive summary:

The potential of Luperox 219 (Di-3,5,5 -Trimethylhexanoyl)peroxide) in the vehicle paraffin oil to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity was evaluated in guinea-pigs according the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman and the OECD guideline 406. Thirty guinea-pigs were allocated in 2 groups: a control group, consisting of five males and five females and a treated group consisting of 10 males and 10 females. No clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study. Cutanous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of the test substance were observed in 6 of 20 guinea-pigs when the test substance was applied at 50% (w/w). The test substance did not show a sensitization effect at 10% (w/w).

The sensitivity of the guinea-pig was checked in a recent study with a positive sensitizer (2,4 -dinitro chlorobenzene).
