No. of animals per dose:
10 animals in the test group, 5 in control group
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Four animals were topically treated with the test item. No signs of irritation were recorded after a contact period of 24 h. Therefore the maximum concentration was chosen for the inductions and the challenge.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 1st exposure: intracutaneous injections (0.1 mL); 2nd exposure: epicutaneous for 48 hours
- Site: according to guideline
- Frequency of applications: day 0: intradermal treatment, day 6: pretreatment with sodium lauryl sulphate (0.5 mL, 10% in vaseline) and day 7: dermal treatment
- Duration: 20 days
- Concentrations:
Induction, 1st stage:
Test group: Injection 1: Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1+1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline; injection 2: test item 100%; injection 3: test item 50% (v/v) in Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1+1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
Control group: Injection 1: Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1+1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline; injection 2: NaCL (0.9%); injection 3: NaCl (0.9%) 50% (v/v)in Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1+1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
Induction, 2nd stage:
Test group: 100% test item
Control group: 100% NaCl (0.9%)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: on day 20
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test group: test item and NaCl (0.9%) as intraspecific control
- Control group: same as test group
- Site: left flanks for test substance, right flanks for NaCl
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation: 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal
Challenge controls:
see above
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Mercaptobenzothiazole (reliability check, not in parallel with the test)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
60% of the positive control animals showed sensitization reactions 24 and 48 hours after end of challenge treatement (positive cotnrol substance concentrations: 2% at induction I phase, 25% at induction II phase, 15% at challenge)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
None of the 10 animals of the test group showed allergic skin reactions until 72 hours after patch removal as compared to the intraspecific application of NaCl (0.9%) and to the animals of the control group. The sensitization rate after application of Tri (hexy, octy, decyl) citrate was 0%. Under the test contions described the test item showed no sensitizing properties.
