MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Test group:
First stage - Intradermal three pairs of intradermal injections at the shoulders of the animals: 0.1 mL of a 5% dillution of the test article in peanut oil and 0.1 mL of a 5% dillution of thetest article in Freund's complete adjuvant/water and 0.1 mL of a 50% dillution of Freund's complete adjuvant in water
Second stage afer 7 days - dermal application at the shoulder of the animals: 50 % in Vaseline over an area 4x5cm for 48 h
Control group:
First stage - Intradermal three pairs of intradermal injections: 0.1 mL of peanut oil and 0.1 mL of a 50% dillution of Freund's complete adjuvant in water and 0.1 mL of a 50% dillution of Freund's complete adjuvant in peanut oil.
Second stage afer 7 days - dermal application: Vaseline over an area 4x5cm.
Both groups: 24 hours before the dermal application of the test article the area was treated with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline to induce a mild inflammation.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (14 days after the second stage of induction)
Concentration of test material and vehicle used for each challenge in the test and the control group:
50% in vaseline to the left flank 100% vaseline to the right flank over an area of 5x5 cm.
Challenge controls:
The reaction to the positive control substance 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene is tested periodically. The last test with acceptable levels of responses to this substance (mild or moderate sensitizer in dependence on the concentration) was performed from December 16, 1994 till January 9, 1995.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

No. of animals per dose:
20 animals (10 male, 10 female) in the test group
10 animals (5 male, 5 female) in the control group
Statistics:
individual analysis according to the Draize system and report of the sensitizing rate in %

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test article BIBEA/A is a non-sensitizer under applied test conditions.
Executive summary:

The potential skin sensitizing properties of BIBEA/A were assessed in the guinea pig maximization test using 20 test and 10 control animals. Following induction exposure to the test article or the vehicle, the animals were subjected two weeks later to a challenge exposure with test article. The treated skin areas were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after the end of the exposure period. The sensitating rat was 0% at 24 and 48 hours.
