Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
RS-Pantolactone was tested for its skin sensitization potential according to OECD 406 following the GPMT test setting. The test item did not show any skin sensitisation potential in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

RS-Pantolactone (named D,L-Lactone in the study report) was tested for its skin sensitization potential according to OECD 406 following the GPMT test setting, EC Commission Directive 96/54/EC, Part B.6, "Skin Sensitisation" (1996), EPA OPPTS 870.2600 "Skin Sensitisation" (2003) and JMAFF: Japanese Test Guidelines (2000) including the most recent partial revisions, and was based on the method described by Magnusson and Kligman, "Allergic Contact Dermatitis in the Guinea Pig - Identification of Contact Allergens" (1970).

Test substance concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study.

In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 5% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (water). Injection sites treated with FCA showed transient erythema of grades 1 to 2 in both groups. Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 50% test substance concentration and the vehicle.

There was no evidence that RS-Pantolactone had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in the challenge phase.

This result indicates a sensitisation rate of 0 per cent.

By expert judgment it is conclude that L-Pantolactone is not sensitising on skin.
