Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Dosing: On the day prior to dose administration, four topical range-finding guinea pigs were weighed and the hair removed from the right and left side of the animals with a small animal clipper. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin during clipping procedures. On the following day, four concentrations of the test article were prepared and each concentration (0.3ml) was applied to each topical range-finding animal in a 25 mm Hilltop chamber. Following chamber application, the trunk of the animal was wrapped with elastic wrap which was secured with adhesive tape to prevent removal of the chamber and the animal was returned to its cage. Approximately six hours after chamber application, the elastic wrap, tape and chambers were removed. The test sites were then wiped with gauze moistened in USP grade mineral oil followed by dry gauze to remove test article residue.
Dermal Observations: The test sites of the topical range-finding animals were graded for irritation at approximately 24 and 48 hours following chamber application.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Following challenge with DNCB, 6/6 DNCB test animals were noted to have a substantially stronger dermal response than was observed in the corresponding DNCB control animals. Group mean dermal scores were also noted to be higher In the DNCB test animals as compared to those of the DNCB control animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The study is well-documented and was performed according to EPA OPP 81-6 (Skin sensitization), under GLP conditions. Hence, the information provided in the report can be considered reliable. In consequence, the results are suitable for the assessment of the sensitizing potential of the test item. Under the conditions of this test, the test item was not considered to be a sensitizer in guinea pigs. The results of the DNCB positive control study demonstrated that a valid test was performed and indicated that the test system could detect potential contact sensitizers.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study according to EPA OPP 81-6 (Skin sensitization) with the test item in USP grade mineral oil, young adult Hartley-derived albino (10/sex in the main test) were tested using the modified Buehler assay. 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) served as positive control.

 

Regarding the Topical Range-Finding Studies, the results of the first range-finding study indicated that a test article concentration of 50% was considered appropriate for Induction. The results of the second range-finding study indicated that a test article concentration of 10% was considered appropriate for challenge.

 

In the Main Sensitization Study, following challenge with 10% w/v of the test item in USP grade mineral oil, the animal responses met the negative criteria for sensitization based on the evaluation criteria. Dermal reactions in all test and challenge control animals were limited to scores of 0 to ± (0% net responders). Group mean dermal scores were noted to be similar in the test animals as compared to the challenge control animals.

Following challenge with DNCB, 6/6 DNCB test animals were noted to have a substantially stronger dermal response than was observed in the corresponding DNCB control animals. Group mean dermal scores were also noted to be higher In the DNCB test animals as compared to those of the DNCB control animals.

The majority of sensitization study animals gained weight during the test period and generally appeared in good health.

 

In this study, the test item is not a dermal sensitizer.
