Description of key information

For this endpoint, there is no data on the isomer mixture.

The delayed contact hypersensivity of the meta isomer was evaluated in Guinea pigs in a Buehler test performed according to OECD N°406 guideline (Wang, 2011). On day 0, 7 and 14, the test and positive control group animals were given induction exposure; the negative control animals were not treated. On day 28, all the three groups were given challenge exposure on the opposite intact skin. Skin reactions were scored at 24 and 48 hours after completion of the challenge application. Positive reactions were not observed in the test group animals at the 24-hour and 48-hour examination; the sensitization rate was 0%. Erythema occurred in 10 animals in the positive control group; the sensitization rate was 66.7%. There were no positive skin responses in the negative control group; the sensitization rate was 0%. There was no mortality, and there were no remarkable clinical observations in any group.

The skin sensitization potential of the meta and para isomers was evaluated in chemico using the Danish QSAR data base and Toxtree. None of the model identified a skin sensitization alert or a skin sensitisation reactivity domain.

In conclusion, m/p-DIOL can be considered as non-sensitizing.

Conclusions:
No skin reactions were observed in the test group. Based on the results of this study the substance would not be regarded as a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The delayed contact hypersensivity of the meta-diols was evaluated in Guinea pigs according to OECD N°406 guideline (Buehler test).

On day 0, 7 and 14, the test and positive control group animals were given induction exposure; the negative control animals were not treated. On day 28, all the three groups were given challenge exposure on the opposite intact skin. Skin reactions were scored at 24 and 48 hours after completion of the challenge application.

Positive reactions were not observed in the test group animals at the 24-hour and 48-hour examination; the sensitization rate was 0%. Erythema occurred in 10 animals in the positive control group; the sensitization rate was 66.7%. There were no positive skin responses in the negative control group; the sensitization rate was 0%. There was no mortality, and there were no remarkable clinical observations in any group.

In conclusion, under these experimental conditions, meta-diols was considered as non-sensitizing in the Buehler test.

Identification of mechanisms of toxic action for skin sensitisation using a SMARTS pattern based approach.
Available since ToxTree 2.1.0 (under name "Skin sensitisation alerts" and "Skin sensitisation alerts (M.Cronin)"). The name is changed to "Skin sensitisation reactivity domain" by P&G team suggestion in order to reflect the fact the alerts provide grouping into reactivity mode of action and do not predict skin sensitisation potential.
