Materials and methods

according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
; see comments
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The substance could not be prepared in an injectable form (the test laboratory confirmed that a range of solvents were tried). Therefore for the first induction the substance was applied dermally over the site where adjuvant had been injected. Both topical induction stages involved wetting of the skin with aqueous sodium lauryl sulphate followed by a 48 hour application of the test substance under an occlusive dressing
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test

Positive control substance: 2,4-dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Checked at 6 monthly intervals. The most recent positive control test with DNCB was completed on 16 December 1988 when 100% of the test group animals reacted positively.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Dose Ranging Test for Induction:

Only slight reactions were noted at 2 sites treated topically with the test material at one concentration only, 25% v/v in paraffin oil. A concentration of 25% v/v in paraffin oil was selected for the topical application (phases 1 and 2) of induction in the test group.

Main Test - Induction:

Moderate irritation was noted in the test group after the first topical application, with slight reactions after the second application. The control groups reacted slightly after the first application only.

Dose Ranging Test for Challenge:

Slight reactions.were noted in both guinea pigs at a concentration of 25% v/v in paraffin oil. A concentration of 10% v/v in paraffin oil was selected for challenge.

Main Test - Challenge:

Following challenge with the test item at a concentration of 10% v/v, none of the 20 test group animals showed positive reactions to this application. None of the 20 control group animals, which had previously only been exposed to the vehicle, paraffin oil, showed a positive reaction to this application.

Body Weights:

Body weights were recorded at main test commencement and on test completion. Body weight gains were acceptable.

Clinical Signs:

No clinical signs, other than skin reactions induced by treatment, were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item did not show a sensitization reaction in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization test was performed on guinea pigs according to EU-testing method B.6. The substance could not be prepared in an injectable form (the test laboratory confirmed that a range of solvents were tried). Therefore for the first induction the substance was applied dermally over the site where adjuvant had been injected. Both topical induction stages involved wetting of the skin with aqueous sodium lauryl sulphate followed by a 48 hour application of the test substance under an occlusive dressing. Satisfactory skin responses were noted at induction. The substance is not classified as a skin sensitiser.
