Details on study design:
PRETESTS
- Intradermal Induction
The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability in a pretest. The following concentration of test article has been used for intradermal injection:
5 % in physiological saline (w/v).

- Epidermal Applications (induction and challenge)
The concentrations for the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations of FAT 36038/F have been examined on separate animals for the determination of the maximum sub-irritant concentration:
30 % and 50 % in Vaseline.
50 % in Vaseline was the highest applicable concentration of the test article.

TEST PROCEDURE
DAY 0: INDUCTION, intradermal injections
Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the left and right side of the shaved neck of the test and control group animals.
*Test group:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- 5 % FAT 36038/F in physiological saline (w/v)
- 5 % FAT 36038/F in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)

*Control group:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- physiological saline

DAY 8: INDUCTION, epidermal application
The application site of all animals was pretreated with 10 % sodium-laurylsulfate (open application) 24 hours prior to the epidermal induction application. In the test group FAT 36038/F was incorporated in Vaseline (w/w) and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours). The control group was treated with the vehicle only.
*Test group: 50 % FAT 36038/F in Vaseline
*Control group: Vaseline only

DAY 21: Challenge
The test and control group animals were tested on one flank with FAT 36038/F in Vaseline (w/w) and on the other flank wit the vehicle alone (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours).
*Test and control group:
- 30 % FAT 36038/F in Vaseline
- Vaseline only
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked once or twice a year with a known mild to moderate sensitiser, such as mercaptobenzothiazole, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or potassiumdichromate.

- Challenge reactions after epidermal application (control group): Score for erythema and edema is 0.0 (in males and females for the vehicle control and the test article control).
- Draize score 48 hours after removal of the dressing: Score for erythema and edema in vehicle control for male and female is 0.0. Score for erythema and edema for the test article control in male and female is 0.0.
- Challenge reactions after epidermal application (test group); Draize score 24 hours after removal of the dressing: Erythema and edema score is 0.0 in male and female for the vehicle contro group. For the test article group in males: 2 males have a score 1.0 and 2.0 and for edema 3 males scored with 1.0. In females 3 females have a score 1 and 2 females scored 2 for erythema parameter, for edema only 2 females are scored with 1.0.
- Challenge reactions after epidermal application (test group); Draize score 48 hours after removal of the dressing: Erythema and edema score is 0.0 in male and female for the vehicle contro group. For the test article group in males: 2 males have a score 1.0 and 2 other males with score 2.0 and for edema 1 male scored with 1.0. In females 3 females have a score 1 and 2 females scored 2 for erythema parameter, for edema only 1 female are scored with 1.0.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results in the pretest:


 


Intradermal induction: Since 5 % FAT 36038/F in physiological saline could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction.


 


Epidermal application: Slight erythema reactions were observed with 50 % FAT 36038/F in vaseline in 1/2 animals at the 24 hours evaluation only.


 


RESULTS


Under the experimental conditions employed, 60 and 35 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively.


FAT 36038/F is, therefore, classified as a moderate sensitiser in albino guinea pigs according to the grading of Magnusson and Kligman.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
FAT 36038/F is classified as a skin sensitiser 1B.
Executive summary:

A key study to determine the contact allergenic potency of FAT 36038/F test in albino guinea pigs was performed. This test was based on the OECD Guideline No. 406, adopted May 12, 1981, adapted July 17, 1992, by the OECD council, and on Annex V, Part B of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992). The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively. The doses used were 5 % FAT 36038/F in physiological saline for intradermal induction, 50 % FAT 36038/F in vaseline for epidermal induction and 30 % FAT 36038/F in vaseline for epidermal challenge. 60 % and 35 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions in the challenge after 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Hence, FAT 36038/F is classified as a skin sensitiser 1B.
