Any other information on results incl. tables

No mortalities occurred. From day 8 onwards all animals showed clear-cut skin irritations (slight to moderate swelling and/or small necroses) in the area of epidermal induction (neck). 24 h after challenge with 25% ZK 137314 1 out of 10 animals showed slight reddening at the administration site, which was no longer seen 48 h after exposure. At this time point, a further animal of the test group showed slight reddening.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

To determine the skin-sensitizing properties of ZK 137314 the guinea pig maximization test was performed on male and female guinea pigs according to OECD guideline 406. The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

intradermal induction: 1.25%

epidermal induction: 25%

challenge: 25%

24 h after challenge 1 out of 10 animals showed slight reddening at the administration site, which was no longer seen 48 h after exposure. At this time point, a further animal of the test group showed slight reddening. Due to the low incidence of the local findings and due to the slight grade of the findings, these were regarded as incidental findings and not as indicative of any contact-sensitizing potential of ZK 137314. Thus Bromepoxid did not show any skin-sensitization potential in the guinea pig.
