INDUCTION EXPOSURE

INTRADERMAL INJECTION (DAY 0)
Site: 3 injections (0.1 ml/injection) on both sides of the spinal cord for a total of 6 paired injections
- Site 1: diluted FCA to both treated and control groups
- Site 2: 5.0% MRD-83-208 diluted in vehicle; and undiluted vehicle to control animals

INDUCTION BY OCCLUSIVE TOPICAL APPLICATION (DAY 7)
Experimental animals received 0.5 ml neat MRD-83-208 over the injection site under an occlusive wrap and held in place for 48 hrs. Control animals received 0.5 ml vehicle.

CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Animals were challenged with either 0.5 ml 0.5% MRD-83-208 in vehicle or just vehicle (control group) that was topically applied to the clipped area on the right flank under an occlusive wrap for 24 hrs.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitising
Conclusions:
Based on the scores of dermal irritation, test substance would not be considered a dermal sensitizer under either EU GHS guidelines or under the EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations guidelines.
Executive summary:

A Hartley dermal sensitization test was conducted on 30 guinea pigs. Following a preliminary irritation test, 15 Hartley guinea pigs were treated by intradermal injection (0.01 ml; 5.0% (w/v) vehicle/MRD-83 -208 or with adjuvant) to induce sensitization and then further sensitized by dermal application of 0.5 ml MRD-83 -208 a week after the intradermal injection. Guinea pigs were challenged two weeks later by topical application (0.5 ml 0.5% MRD-83 -208). No indication of sensitization was noted. Based on the scored of dermal irritation, test substance MRD-83 -208 would not be considered a dermal sensitizer under either EU GHS guidelines or under the EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations guidelines.

Executive summary:

A Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test was conducted on 30 guinea pigs with Shellsol AB. Following a preliminary irritation test, 20 guinea pigs were treated by intradermal injection (0.05% (w/v) vehicle/Shellsol AB) to induce sensitization and then further sensitized by dermal application of 50.0% (w/v) Shellsol AB in corn oil. Guinea Pigs were challenged by topical application (25.0% (w/v) Shellsol AB in corn oil). No indication of sensitization was noted.

Skin Sensitisation

Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics:

A skin sensitization study performed according to Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test (OECD TG 406) found no indication of skin sensitization in guinea pigs for Hydrocarbons, C9 aromatics. Hydrocarbons, C9 aromatics are not skin sensitizers or photosensitizers in humans. Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics were evaluated for its ability to induce skin sensitization in a 26 person Human Repeated Insult Patch Test (HRIPT). In addition, the ability to induce a phototoxic or photocontact response was determined by comparing irradiated and non-irradiated skin sites. Application to the skin without or in conjunction with UV irradiation did not elicit a sensitizing or photosensitizing response in any of the study participants.

 

Hydrocarbons, C10 Aromatics, >1% Napthalene:

A skin sensitization study performed according to Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test (OECD TG 406) found no indication of skin sensitization in guinea pigs for C10 aromatics. Hydrocarbons, C10 aromatics, >1% napthalene are not skin sensitizers or photosensitizers in humans. C10 aromatics were evaluated for its ability to induce skin sensitization in a 100+ person Human Repeated Insult Patch Test (HRIPT). In addition, the ability to induce a phototoxic or photocontact response was determined by comparing irradiated and non-irradiated skin sites. C10 aromatics were applied to the skin of human volunteers under semi-occlusive dressing as a 30% w/w concentration in petrolatum. Application to the skin without or in conjunction with UV irradiation did not elicit a sensitizing or photosensitizing response in any of the study participants.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics:

There are no reports of respiratory sensitization from C9 aromatics in laboratory animals or humans. A skin sensitization study utilizing C9 Aromatics found no indication of skin sensitization in guinea pigs. Additional studies in humans also found no indication of skin sensitization. With these observations, it is presumed that C9 Aromatics will not be a respiratory sensitizing agent.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on available data, Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics do not warrant classification as a skin or respiratory sensitizer under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
