- On day 1, 3injections are realized on the scapular area:
- 0.1mL of Freund's complete adjuvant at 50% in 0.9% NaCl
- 0.1mL of the test item at 5 % (for treated group) or 0.1mL of vehicle (for control group)
- 0.1mL of a mixture 50/50 (V/V) of Freund's complete adjuvant in 0.9% NaCl and the test item at 5 % (for treated group) or the vehicle (for control group).

* Cutaneous induction:
- On day 7, local irritation is induced by application of Sodium Laurylsulfate 10% in Vaseline

No cutaneous reactions were observed in the animals of the control group.

In the treated group, at the 24-hour reading, a very slight (grade 1) or well-defined (grade 2)

erythema was noted in 8/20 and 9/20 animals, respectively.

 

No erythema persisted at the 48-hour reading. Dryness of  the skin was observed in

12/20 animals.

 

The observed erythema with a score higher than 1 were considered as delayed contact hypersensitivity reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance t-amy peroxyethyl-2-hexanoate induces delayed contact hypersensitivity in 9/20 (45%) guinea-pigs, with an intradermal induction dose of 5 % and undiluted substance for cutaneous application.
Executive summary:

The delayed contact hypersensivity of t-amy peroxyethyl-2-hexanoate was evaluated in Guinea pigs according to OECD N°406 guideline (Magnusson and Kligman test) and in compliance with GLP.

The induction phase has been realized both by intradermal route on day 1 (5in vehicle) and by cutaneous route on day 8 (undiluted) in 2 groups of guinea pigs: 5 males and 5 females for control group and 10 males and 10 females for treated group. The challenge phase was realized on day 22 by cutaneous application of the undiluted substance on the right flank (vehicle on the left flank); the cutaneous reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after the challenge phase.

No cutaneous reactions were observed in the animals of the control group. In the treated group, at the 24-hour reading, a very slight (grade 1) or well-defined (grade 2) erythema was noted in 8/20 and 9/20 animals, respectively. No erythema persisted at the 48-hour reading. Dryness of  the skin was observed in12/20 animals. The observed erythema with a score higher than 1 were considered as delayed contact hypersensitivity reactions.

In conclusion, the test item was considered as sensitizing in guinea pigs.
