Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Based on the reaction to the challenge dose, it can be concluded that Al oxide AK 43/79 and Aluminium oxide AK 44/79 has no sensitisation potential under the experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of two samples aluminium oxide, namely aluminium oxide TBH: AK 43/79 and aluminium oxide TOF: AK 44/79, was assessed in guinea pigs (male albino SPF, 8 animals in each group) using the Landsteiner/Draize method (Central Institute for Nutrition and Food Research, Germany) at the request of Degussa AG, Germany (1979). Both compounds were administered by intra-dermal injections. A 33.3% aqueous suspension was used in both the induction and challenge phases. During the induction phase, the test animals received 10 intra-dermal injections of the test suspension, 3 times per week over a 3 week period. The test suspensions were administered to different shaved spots on the right flank of the animals within an area of 3 x 4 cm. The injected volume was 0.05 mL for the first injection and 1.0 mL for subsequent. The control group received a single injection during this phase. The injection sites were examined 24 hours after the injection and the diameter, colour and thickness of any lesions were used as criteria for the intensity of the reaction. In the induction phase,following 1 to 7 injections of AK 43/79, all animals showed mild reactions. Two animals showed moderate reactions after the 8th injection, an additional 2 animals showed moderate reactions after the 9th injection and all 8 animals showed a moderate reaction after the 10th injection. Data were provided on any skin reactions on the single injection received by the control animals. For AK 44/79, all reactions were mild until after the 6th injection when 5 animals showed a moderate reaction. All animals showed moderate reactions
after the 7th to 10th injections. Two weeks after the last injection, guinea pigs from both test groups and the control group received the challenge dose in the amount of 0.05 mL per animal. The reaction sites were examined 24 hours after the injection.After the challenge dose of AK 43/79, all animals exposed during the induction period developed a mild skin reaction. A mild reaction was also found in 7 and a moderate reaction in 1 of the animals in the control group. The challenge dose of AK 44/79 provoked a mild reaction in 6 animals and moderate reaction in 2 animals exposed during the induction period. In the control animals, 7 mild reactions and 1 moderate reaction were observed. No significant differences were observed between the test and control animals with respect to the degree and incidence of erythema and oedema. Under the conditions of this test, aluminium oxide AK 43/79 and aluminium oxide AK 44/79 are not skin sensitizers (Landsteiner/Draize test, guinea pig).
