Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The intradermal and topical irritancy of a range of dilutions of the test substance was investigated to identify (a) concentrations of
the test substance that would produce irritation suitable for the induction phase of the main study and (b) a maximum non-irritant concentration
by the topical route of administration for the challenge phase.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
(1) INTRADERMAL INDUCTION
- No. of exposures: three pairs
- Volume = 0.1ml
- Exposure period: 6 days
- Test group: Two intradermal injections with Freund's Complete Adjuvant diluted at 50%; Two intradermal injections with test substance at 12.5%; Two intradermal injections with Freund's Complete Adjuvant at 50% and the test item at 25%.
- Control group: treated similarly to the test animals with the exception that the test substance was omitted from the intradermal injections
- Site:40x60 mm area of dorsal skin on the scapular region
(2) INDUCTION TOPICAL APPLICATION
- On day 6, skin was brushed with a solution of sodium lauryl sulfate at 10% in thick vaseline
- On day 7: application of test substance
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 48 hours
- Test groups: 0.5 ml of the test item at 100%
- Control group: 0.5 ml distilled water
- Site: 40x60 mm area of dorsal skin on the scapular region (same area as in (1))


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: the control and test animals
- Day of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours (occlusive)
- Both groups: 1 sample cup containing the test item at 100% or 50%

- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48

Interpretation of results: An answer over at least 30% of animals is regarded as positive
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a skin sensitisation test in the guinea pig (Magnusson and Kligman maximisation method) according to the current OECD guideline under GLP circumstances, the test substance was found to be not sensitising.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitisation test with 11 guinea pigs (Magnusson and Kligman maximisation method) according to the current OECD guideline and GLP priniples was performed. At 24 hours after challenge with 100% of the substance, two animals had slight or patches of erythema. No reaction was seen after exposure with 50% substance. No mortality was registered during the test. No abnormalities were found in body weight gain in any of the animals. Based on the results, the test substance was found to be not sensitising.
