Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Skin sensitisation

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study was conducted with a supporting substance, but according to the OECD guideline 406 and is fully GLP-compliant. As no study for the reaction mass of L-alanyl-L-glutamine and potassium chloride is available, studies conducted with the two main components L-alanyl-L-glutamine and potassium chloride (such as this) were used for read-across in order to avoid unnecessary repetition of testing. As no synergistic or antagonistic effects from either of the main components is expected, the information derived from both main components separately is considered to be reliable for classification of the reation mass of L-alanyl-L-glutamine and potassium chloride.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This skin sensitization study was conducted in 1994. The guideline for the LLNA method was adopted in 2002 and was therefore not available in 1994.
