Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Since the LLNA is the preferred method for new in vivo testing, the use of the standard guinea pig tests to obtain new data on the skin sensitisation potential of a substance will be acceptable only in exceptional circumstances and will require scientific justification. However, existing data of good quality that were generated before 10 May 2017, or for which the study was initiated before 10 May 2017, and derived from such tests are acceptable; and if these tests provide clear results that are adequate for classification, even when a conclusion on potency (Cat. 1A or not) cannot be drawn, they will preclude the need for further in vivo testing.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Eight animals were used for the preliminary test: 6 animals for the topical administration and 2 animals for the intracutaneous administration.
The allocation of different test sites of the animals was alternated in order to minimize site-to-site variations in response.
The shoulder and the flank region of the animals were shaved (approx. 5 cm x 5 cm). Animals, even if only slightly injured, were replaced.
(a) intracutaneous: 0.1 mL of the prepared test item was administered intracutaneously (shoulder region).
Six concentrations of strontium neodecanoate were tested by intracutaneous injection employing a 72-hour observation period: 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 or 10% suspensions in the vehicle. Three concentrations of the test item were injected intradermally into one, 3 further concentrations into a second animal.
(b) topical: six concentrations of strontium neodecanoate were tested by topical application to the shaved skin: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75% suspensions in the vehicle.
The test area of the animals each was shaved. 2 mL of the test preparation was spread over a filter paper (2 cm x 4 cm) and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing (Urgoplast®, FOURNIER Pharma GmbH, 66280 Sulzbach, Germany).
Two concentrations each were applied to the flanks of each animal.
The occlusive dressing and the filter paper containing the test item were removed after 24 or 48 hours from respective 3 animals and the application sites were assessed 24 and 48 hours (24-hour exposure) or immediately and 24 hours (48-hour exposure) after removal of the filter paper for erythema and oedema using the Magnusson and Kligman scale.

Results:
Intracutaneous injection:
The concentration of 0.01% revealed a moderate and confluent erythema 24 and 48 hours, a discrete or patchy erythema 72 hours after start of exposure. The concentrations of 0.1% and above revealed an intense erythema and swelling 24, 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure.
Topical application:
Concentrations of 1 or 5% did not reveal any skin reactions. A concentration of 10% revealed a discrete or patchy erythema 48 and 72 hours or 24 to 72 hours after start of 48- and 24-hour exposure, respectively. Concentrations of 25% and above revealed an intense erythema and swelling 48 and 72 hours or 24 to 72 hours after start of 48- and 24-hour exposure, respectively, and the test item adhered to the skin so the skin was torn off at patch removal.
Hence, it was decided to use a 0.01% suspension for the intracutaneous induction stage, a 10% suspension for the topical induction stage and a 5%
suspension for the challenge in the main study.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal injection and dermal application)
- Site: shoulder region of the animals were shaved (approx. 5 cm x 5 cm).
- Frequency of applications: three pairs of intradermal injections were given once and 7 days later the same site was treated with a topical application. One day before the dermal application was applied the area was pretreated with 10% sodlium lauryl sulfate in vaseline in order to induce a local irritation, since 10% concentration of strontium neodecanoate in polyethylene glycol 400 was only slightly irritating in the 48-hour exposure to the skin of the test animals in the preliminary experiment.
- Exposure period: 48 hours (dermal application only)
- Concentrations:
Test animals:
Intradermal injections:
i) 0.1 mL FCA (diluted 1:1 with 0.9% NaCl)
ii) 0.1 mL test item in polyethylene glycol 400 (test item concentration: 0.01%)
iii) 0.1 mL test item in a 1+1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline (test item concentration: 0.01%)
Topical application:
10% test material

Control animals:
Intradermal injection:

ii) 0.1 mL polyethylene glycol 400
iii) 0.1 mL polyethylene glycol 400 in a 1+1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline
Topical application:
polyethylene glycol 400

The skin reaction results of the intradermal induction exposure were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours, of the topical induction at 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure.
Evaluation of skin reactions according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.

MAIN STUDY:

1) Induction:

A 0.01% suspension of strontium neodecanoate in polyethylene glycol 400 chosen for the intracutaneous induction stage revealed a moderate and confluent erythema or discrete or patchy erythema 24 hours in all 10 test item-treated animals and a discrete or patchy erythema 48 hours after administration in 4 of the 10 test item- treated animals.

2 mL of a 10% suspension of strontium neodecanoate in polyethylene glycol 400/animal chosen for the topical induction stage were only slightly irritating to the shaved skin in the preliminary experiment. Hence, in the main study the skin was coated with sodium lauryl sulfate on the day before topical induction in order to induce a local irritation. This treatment resulted in a moderate and confluent erythema 48 hours and a discrete or patchy erythema 72 hours after start of exposure in all 15 animals (test and control animals).

2) Challenge:

The challenge with 2 mL of a 5% suspension of strontium neodecanoate in polyethylene glycol 400 /animal revealed no skin irritation in any animal and, thus, the test item had no sensitising properties.

The vehicle control revealed no skin reactions during the challenge.

OBSERVATIONS:

- body weight: body weight gain of the animals treated with strontium neodecanoate was within the range of the vehicle control during the experiment.

- clinical signs: behaviour remained unchanged during the course of the study.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions, strontium neodecanoate revealed no sensitising properties in guinea pigs in a test model according to MAGNUSSON and KLIGMAN.
According to the Directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments, the test substance is not classified as skin sensitiser.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test substance is not classified as skin sensitiser.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Strontium neodecanoate was tested for its ability to produce skin sensitisation reactions in guinea pigs using the protocol according to the OECD TG 406.

A 0.01 % suspension of Strontium Neodecanoate in PEG 400 chosen for the 1 st (intracutaneous) induction stage revealed a moderate and confluent erythema or discrete or patchy erythema 24 hours in all 10 test-item treated animals and a discrete or patchy erythema 48 hours after administration in 4 of the 1 0 test item treated animals. 2 ml of a 10% suspension of Strontium Neodecanoate in PEG 400/animal chosen for the 2nd (topical) induction stage were only slightly irritating to the shaved skin in the preliminary experiment. Hence, in the main study the skin was coated with sodium lauryl sulfate on the day before stage 2 induction in order to induce a local irritation. This treatment resulted in a moderate and confluent erythema 48 hours and a discrete or patchy erythema 72 hours after start of exposure in all 15 animals. The challenge with 2 ml of a 5% suspension of Strontium Neodecanoate in PEG 400/animal revealed no skin irritation in any animal and, thus, the test item had no sensitising properties.

The vehicle control revealed no skin reactions during the challenge. Animals of the same strain treated with a-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde in sesame oil exhibited a sensitising reaction in all animals in form of a discrete or patchy erythema (grade 1) or a moderate and confluent erythema (grade 2) 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure.

Under the conditions of the test system, strontium neodecanoate was found to be not sensitising to guinea pigs.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Strontium neodecanoate did not induce a skin sensitising reaction in guinea pigs, when tested in a GLP and guideline complaint test according to OECD TG 406. Thus, a classification according to regulation 1272/2008 for skin sensitisation is not required.
