Stage 1: Intradermal injections Day 0
- No. of exposures: 3 (pairs of injections)
- Exposure period: Single injections
- Test groups: 10 animals, 0.5% concentration test item in aqua ad iniectabilia
Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 mL were given in the shoulder region which was cleared of hair so that one of each pair lay on each side of midline.

(1)Freund's complete adjuvant (diluted 1 : 1 with 0.9% NaCl )
(2) aqua ad iniectabilia
(3) aqua ad iniectabilia in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline
Positive control: 20 animals (historical data): 10% (v/v) α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde solution
- Site: Shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: Single injections
- Duration: Single injections (Day 0) and six days interval before stage 2 (Day 7)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Stage 3: Topical: Day 21
- No. of exposures: 1 (patch)
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: The filter paper containing the test item (10% suspension of the test item in aqua ad iniectabilia) was applied to the left flank, the filter paper with the vehicle to the right flank of the animal.
- Control group:
Vehicle control: The left flank was treated with the test item (10% concentration in aqua ad iniectabilia), the right flank with the vehicle i.e. in the same way as the test group.
Positive control: The filter paper containing 0.01% α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde solution was applied to the left flank, the filter paper with the vehicle to the right flank of the animal.
- Site: Flanks
- Concentrations: 10% suspension of the test item in tap water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge):
21 hours after removing the filter paper the challenge area was cleaned and cleared of hair if necessary; three hours later (at 48 hours from the start of challenge application) the skin reaction was observed and recorded; 24 hours after this observation a second observation (72 hours) was made and recorded.

OTHER:
MAGNUSSON/KLIGMAN grading scale tor the evaluation of challenge patch test reactions
0 = no visible change
1 = discrete or patchy erythema
2 = moderate and confluent erythema
3 = intense erythema and swelling

Challenge controls:
- Vehicle control: The left flank was treated with the test item (10% concentration in aqua ad iniectabilia), the right flank with the vehicle i.e. in the same way as the test group.
- Positive control: The filter paper containing 0.01% α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde solution was applied to the left flank, the filter paper with the vehicle to the right flank of the animal.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Animals of the same strain treated with α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde in sesame oil exhibited a sensitising reaction in all animals in form of a moderate and confluent erythema (grade 2).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions, test item containing 39.80% active ingredient, was found to be not sensitising to guinea pigs in a test model according to MAGNUSSON and KLIGMAN.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of the test item, containing 39.80% active ingredient, in guinea pigs in a test model according to MAGNUSSON and KLIGMAN.

From a preliminary experiment, it was decided to use a 0.5% concentration in aqua ad iniectabilia for the 1st (intracutaneous) stage, a 25% suspension in aqua ad iniectabilia for the 2nd (topical) induction stage and a 10% suspension in aqua ad iniectabilia for the challenge.

A 0.5% suspension in aqua ad iniectabilia chosen for the 1st (intracutaneous) induction stage revealed a discrete or patchy erythema in all 10 animals 24 and 48 hours after administration. 2 mL of a 25% suspension of the test item in aqua ad iniectabilia/animal chosen for the 2nd (topical) induction stage revealed a moderate and confluent erythema 48 hours and a discrete or patchy erythema 72 hours after start of exposure in all 10 animals. The challenge with 2 mL of a 10% suspension of the test item in aqua ad iniectabilia /animal - the maximum non-irritating concentration - revealed no skin irritation in any animal and, thus, the test item had no sensitising properties.

The vehicle control revealed no skin reactions.

Animals of the same strain treated with α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde in sesame oil exhibited a sensitising reaction in all animals in form of a moderate and confluent erythema (grade 2).

Behaviour of the animals remained unchanged. Body weights were not affected

Under the present test conditions, test item containing 39.8% active ingredient, was found to be not sensitising to guinea pigs in a test model according to MAGNUSSON and KLIGMAN.
