Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: Intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made into the clipped flank of two guinea pigs at concentrations of 5, 3, 1 and 0.5% of the test article in pysiological saline. the resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hrs later. Additionally patches of filter paper (2x2 cm) were saturated with concentrations of 100, 70, 50 and 25% of test article in physiological saline and applied to the clipped and shaved flank of four guinea pigs. The dressings were removed after an exposure period of 24 hours and the reaction sites were assessed for erythema and edema.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal + topical)
- Exposure period: 48 hrs (topical)
- Test groups: Test article in physiological saline (intradermal) and pure test article (topical)
- Control group: Physiological saline only
- Site: Scapular region
- Frequency of applications: weekly (d0 = intradermal and day7 = topical)
- Duration: 9 days
- Concentrations: 5% (intradermal) and 100% (topical)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 21 & 35
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: Test article
- Control group: Physiological saline only (first challenge) and Test article (re-challenge)
- Site: Left flank (challenge) and right flank (re-challenge)
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48

Challenge controls:

Two challenges were performed each using 5 males + 5 females. In the first challenge physiological saline only was administered topically. In the second challenge control animals were treated with the test article in the same concentration as the animals of the test group (i.e. 100%) in order to avoid false positive results.

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

DNCB, i.e. 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzol

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Statistics:

Fisher-Test

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

After epidermal challenge application, DNCB showed positive responses in Dunkin Hartley albino guinea pigs: after 24 hours 9 (out of 15) guinea pigs were positive.

No positive reactions were evident after the first and second challenge application in the negative control group.

Local symptoms were similar between control and treated animals. Body weight gain was not affected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

With the procedures used in this experiment, no differences between the test group and the vehicle-treated controls were evident after epidermal challenge application. Glycerin-alpha-monochlorhydrin is considered to possess no skin sensitizing (contact allergenic) potential.
