Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
3 preliminary tests were performed with 5 animals each:
Intradermal application with a concentration of 1% of test substance in vaseline induced skin irritation (definite effects, without induction of necrosis). After epidermal application with a concentration of 50% of the test substance in vaseline, this concentration was determined as the minimal irritating concentration. To be able to determine the maximum non-irritating concentration for challenge treatment, intracutaneous injections of 0.1 mL FCA bilaterally of the vertebral column were made. 2 weeks later 25% and 50% test substance concentrations were applied for 24 h under plaster-covering. A concentration of 25% was found to be the maximum non-irritating concentration.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No effects on bodyweight were observed during the study period. After intradermal injection all animals showed the expected reactions for FCA. Intradermal injections of the vehicle paraffin caused reactions as well (no further information). After removal of the epicutaneous induction patch erythemateous reaction was observed being clearly decreased 24 h later. According to the author, individual results were not given in tabulated form, as all skin examinations were negative, both at 24 and 48 h after challenge exposure.
