Skin sensitisation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Type of information:

migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions (induction phase was carried out with a non-irritating concentration instead of using a concentration causing mild irritations; no concurrent positive control was used as this was not required earlier)

Details on study design:

30 guinea pig (Hartley albino strain; source: Sweetwater Farms, weight at study initiation: 350 - 400 g) were used in this test. 20 animals were exposed to the test substance, the remaining 10 animals served as control.
The test material was applied to four guinea pigs to determine the highest non-irritating concentration which could be applied. For this purpose UDL-435 was tested at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% aqueous slurries. All concentrations tested revealed no skin reactions.

Induction:
The upper left quadrant of the backs of the test guinea pigs was clipped using electric clippers, on the following day the, patches were applied using a Duke Elastopatch coverlet with a 3/4 x l-inch Webril swatch moistened with 0.5 ml of a 50% aqueous slurry of UDL-435. The guinea pigs were placed in restrainers and rubber dental damming was placed over the animals' backs and secured to the restrainers with clips.
The patches were reapplied to the same site once each week for a total of three applications.
After a period of six hours the patches were removed and the animals were returned to their cages.
On the following day a patch has applied, the clipped areas were depilated with ZipR (Jean Jordeau, Inc., Dist., New York). The depilatory was allowed to remain on the sites for 35-30 minutes and then washed off with warm (ca. 37°C) tap water.
The patch sites were scored for irritation three to five hours later.

Challenge
After a two-week rest period after the induction phase, a fresh application site for primary challenge was prepared by clipping the lower left quadrant of the backs of the test and control guinea pigs. On the following day a challenge patch was applied to the site using 50% aqueous slurry of UDL-435 and the techniques described previously.
On the next day the sites were depilated and scored within three to five hours (24-hour reading). The sites were scored again for a 48-hour reading without additional depilation.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No signs of hypersensitivity were observed. No reaction was noted in any of the four pilot pigs tested at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% aqueous slurries.
UDL-435 as a 50% aqueous slurry produced no reaction in any of the test or control guinea pigs.
One animal of the control group died prior to 24-hour reading. From gross observation, death was not attributed to sample application.
