Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The scientific literature (eg ref 1) indicates that for surfactant materials such as Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-C13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 2-propanamine (1:1), the LLNA study can give false positive results. Therefore, a Guinea Pig Maximisation Test was undertaken rather than the LLNA.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
intradermal injection ( determination of Maximal Non Necrotizing Concentration: MNNC)-0.1 mL of the test material at 5, 10, 25 and 50% in isotonic sodium chloride. Necrosis was seen in all dose levels, and hence, lower concentrations were tested: 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2%

topical application
1.determination of the Pre-Maximal Non Irritant Concentration (Pre-MNIC): 10, 20, 50, 100% in distilled water, 24 h with occlusive dressing. Excessive irritation was seen, and therefore, two more animals were tested at 7.5% and 5% in water.
2. determination of the Maximal Non Irritant Concentration: 1, 2, 5 and 10% in distilled water

MAIN STUDY

epicutaneous- induction of local irritation at the testing site with 10% sodium lauryl sulphate in thick vaseline (Day 6)
Day 7: 0.5 mL TM at 20% in distilled water, occlusive dressing for 48 hours

-CONTROL GROUP:
intradermal- 1. 50% FCA in vehicle, 2. vehicle, 3. FCA at 50% in vehicle (equal volumes)
epicutaneous- 0.5 mL distilled water

- Site: scapular zone
- Frequency of applications: day 0 (intradermal) and day 7 (epicutaneous)
- Duration: 0-9 days

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Exposure period: 24 h (occlusive dressing)
- Test groups: 0.5% and 0.25% test material
- Site: dorso-lumbar area
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde showed positive results, i.e. it exerted allergenic reactions on the guinea pigs tested.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on this result, benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 2-propanamine (1:1) is not a dermal sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with BIO-SOFT 411-E and hence benzenesulfonic acid, 4 -C10 -13 -sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 2 -propanamine (1:1) (97% purity) in isotonic sodium chloride, ten young adult Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligmann according to OECD Guideline 406. α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde was used as a positive control material. 

 

No cutaneous reaction attributable to allergy was recorded in animals from the treated group after the challenge phase, with the test item at 0.25% and 0.5%. No cutaneous intolerance reaction was recorded in animals from the negative control group after the challenge phase, on the treated area with the test item at 0.25% and 0.5%. 

 

In this study, the test item is not a dermal sensitizer.
