Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- The irritation phase had the purpose of evaluating the irritation potential of test material at the levels to be used in the injection induction, topical induction, and challenge phase. The primary irritancy of the test material, when both injected and topically applied, was evaluated.

The procedure employed for these investigations was as follows:
Intradermal injections:
Intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) were made into the clipped flank of two guinea-pigs at concentrations of 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.1%, and 0.05% (w/v) of the test item in diethyl phthalate. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed examined three days following injection.
- Epidermal applications:
Patches were endowed with a 0.4 mL quantity of 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and 0.1% (w/v) test item solution in diethyl phthalate and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks of each of eight guinea-pigs. Each animal was treated with four different concentrations; the position of the different concentrations on the animals was varied to adjust for possible site-to-site variation in response. Patches were secured by an elastic adhesive bandage wound around each of the animal's torso until overlapping.
The dressings were removed after an exposure period of 24 hours and the reaction sites were assessed for erythema and edema on a numerical basis.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures:
2 exposures, i.e. a single intradermal exposure in week 1 (6 injections/animal) and an epicutaneous exposure in week 2 (closed patch)
- Exposure period: single application (intradermal exposure), 48 hours (epicutaneous exposure)
- Control groups: 2 groups of 10 animals
- Frequency of applications: 1 intradermal application (week 1) and 1 epicutaneous application (week 2)
- Concentrations: 0.5 % (intradermal exposure, day 0), 25 % (epicutaneous exposure, day 7)
- Site: nape and upper back area

A1. INTRADERMAL INJECTIONS
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal
- Test group (1 group of 20 animals):
1) 50% (v/v) FCA/distilled water emulsion
2) Test item as a 0.5% (w/v) formulation in diethyl phthalate
3) Test item as a 0.5% (w/v) formulation in FCA/distilled water emulsion (50% v/v)
- Control group (1 group of 10 animals - Vehicle Control):
1) 50% (v/v) FCA/distilled water emulsion
2) Undiluted diethyl phthalate
3) Diethyl phthalate as a 50% (w/v) formulation in FCA/distilled water emulsion (50% v/v)
- Site: nape and upper back area

A2. EPIDERMAL APPLICATIONS
- On Day 6, the nape and upper back area of each animal in the test and the vehicle control groups were re-clipped. On Day 7, a 0.8 mL quantity of the freshly prepared material was applied onto the previously described patch system. The test substance was applied to the test group as a 25% w/v formulation in diethyl phthalate. The undiluted vehicle material was applied to the vehicle control group. Patches were fixed as described above. The dressings were left in place for approximately 48 hours. Reaction sites were assessed for erythema and edema 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test group: On Day 20, the appropriate skin sites of the test, the naive control, and the vehicle control groups were clipped. On Day 21, a 0.4 mL quantity of the freshly prepared formulation was applied onto the described patch system. The test substance patch was applied to the clipped area of the left flank, and a vehicle material patch was applied to the clipped surface of the right flank of each animal in the test, naive control, and vehicle groups.
- Control groups (Vehicle Control Group, Naive Control Group): The control animals were treated in the same way as described above.
- Concentration: 5% (w/v) formulation in diethyl phthalate
- Evaluation: 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the dressing

OTHER:
Body Weights: Initial body weights were measured just prior to the first exposure of a respective group of animals, with the exception of naive control animals which were weighed concurrently with the induced groups of animals which they served. Final body weights were taken subsequent to the
receipt of the Sponsor's authorization to terminate testing. Final body weights were not taken for pilot animals due to their short term study participation.
Challenge controls:
No positive reactions were noted after the challenge application, neither when treated with diethyl phthalate alone nor when treated with a 5% test item formulation.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Historical positive control data on Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85% as a 5% (w/v) formulation in Acetone included in the report

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions chosen, the test article did not cause allergic reactions to guinea pig skin and is therefore not considered as skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test according to OECD guideline No. 406, 10 male and 10 female animals were first induced and then challenged with the test article to investigate its sensitization potential. Induction was a two-stage operation: First, three pairs of intradermal injections (0.5 % test substance in diethyl phthalate) were made into the nape and upper back area of the animals with a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of FCA/ physiological saline, the test substance in diethyl phthalate, and the test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of FCA/ physiological saline. One week later, 0.8 ml of the test article in diethyl phthalate at a concentration of 25% was spread onto a patch consisting of a 20 mm x 20 mm Webril® pad and applied to the clipped backs of the animals for 48 hours. Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with 5% test substance in diethyl phthalate and the vehicle alone for 24 hours. Twenty four hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale. Two additional evaluations were made 48 and 72 hours after removing the dressings. A control group (5 m/5 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. A second control group remained untreated during induction. During the challenge period both control groups were treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound. No animal of the test group was sensitized by the test substance, all skin reactions at any time point were scored 0. Therefore, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is non-sensitizing when topically applied to albino guinea pigs.
