Skin sensitisation
Administrative data

- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

The following information are not given: environmental conditions of the animals, whether females were nulliparous and non-pregnant, acclimatisation period of the animals, body weight at the beginning and the end of the study, historical control data for positive control substance, details on test substances used, animal number per test group is less than 10, details on skin reaction to the induction dose (induction dose should cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation), no second observation has been performed after 72 hours, no details on individual scorings.

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Although no guideline was followed the methods and results are well described allowing a detailed interpretation of the results.
The most important deviation is the number of animals per group. In this test 5 instead of the recommended minimum of 10 animals have been used. Next to this also the non-reporting of the performance of the positive control is deviating from the guideline. - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Remarks:
- data accessed from publication
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- Already existing study. The LLNA 429 was not formally adopted by the OECD until 22 July 2010.

Challenge
- No.:
- #1
- Route:
- epicutaneous, open
- Vehicle:
- other: 0.5% in petroleum ether
- Concentration / amount:
- 0.5% as challenge dose
- No. of animals per dose:
- 5
- Details on study design:
- 6-week-old female Hartley guinea pigs from Japan SLC (Shizuoka, Japan) were used The GPMT was performed as described previously in the literature. 5 animals were used for both sensitization groups. The first induction dose was set at 1%, while the second induction dose was 25%. 2 weeks after the second induction, 0.1 ml aliquots of the test substance in vehicle (0.5% in petroleum ether) was applied to a shaved area of the flank for challenge. 2 days after the challenge, each site was scored according to the criteria of Sato et al.
Additional information:
As mentioned in the material and method section, the test was performed as described in Nakamura et al. (1994) (see linked reference). In this reference the following additional information is given:
- Exposure duration: 24 hours
- challenge was perfomed by the open patch test method
- the selected challenge concentration was lower than the irritant concentrations
- time until challenge: 21 days after the initial induction dose (this leads to the conclusion that 7 days were between the first and second induction dose)
- the total erythema and edema scores were summed in each group of animals. The total score was divided by the number of animals in the group to give the mean response induced by the given concentration for induction and challenge. The number of positive sites was divided by the numer of animals of the group to give the sensitization rate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- A GPMT test in 6-week-old female Hartley guinea pigs was performed with Naphthenic acid, zinc salts. The first induction dose was set at 1%, while the second induction dose was 25%. Two weeks after the second induction, 0.1 ml aliquots of the test substances in vehicle (0.5% in petroleum ether) was applied to a shaved area of the flank for challenge. Each site was scored 48 hours after challenge. Naphthenic acid, zinc salts resulted in 3/5 animals with clear reactions at 48 hours, therefore the substance is considered to be sensitizing for skin.
Although the information is only available as a published peer reviewed article which does not mention GLP compliance of the studies and some information were not provided, enough details are provided to adequately interpret the obtained data and to conclude that both substances seem to have skin sensitising potential.
The following information are not given: environmental conditions of the animals, whether females were nulliparous and non-pregnant, acclimatisation period of the animals, body weight at the beginning and the end of the study, historical control data for positive control substances, details on test substance used, animal number per test group is less than 10, details on skin reaction to the induction dose (induction dose should cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation), no second observation has been performed after 72 hours, no details on individual scorings. - Executive summary:
A GPMT test in 6-week-old female Hartley guinea pigs was performed with Naphthenic acid, zinc salts. The first induction dose was set at 1%, while the second induction dose was 25%. Two weeks after the second induction, 0.1 ml aliquots of the test substance in vehicle (0.5% in petroleum ether) was applied to a shaved area of the flank for challenge. Each site was scored 48 hours after challenge. Naphthenic acid, zinc salts resulted in 3/5 animals with clear reactions at 48 hours, therefore the substance is considered to be sensitizing for skin. However, the number of animals per group is too low to obtain information about the potency of the sensitisation effect.
