Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: A solubility test was performed which showed that the highest applicable concentration of the test-item in vaseline was 25%.
The appropriate concentrations for the induction and challenge exposures were determined by preliminary tests with different concentrations. For this purpose two animals were topically treated with a concentration of 25% and 12.5% for approximately 6 hours.
Neither erythema nor oedema were recorded for any of the animals. 24 as well as 48 hours after the patch removal, one of the two animals showed scratches at the application site after both the treatment with the 25% and 12.5% concentration.
Based on the results of these preliminary tests, a concentration of 25% was chosen for the inductions and the challenge applications.

Main Test

 

Induction readings: No signs of irritation were observed in any of the animals after the inductions.

 

Challenge readings: The results of the test animals at the challenge phase were compared to the results of the control animals (for results, see Tables 3 and 4).

 

4 out of 20 test animals and 3 out of 10 control animals showed scratches at the application site after treatment with the test item. 8 out of 20 test animals showed scratches at the application site after treatment with the vehicle. 1 out of 20 test animals showed scratches and eschar at the application site after treatment with the vehicle. No other treatment related effects were observed.

 

The maximum percentage of animals sensitised was 0 %.

 

Animals of both groups survived throughout the test period. No signs of toxicity were recorded. The animals of the test group showed neither reduced weight gain compared to historical data nor compared to the animals of the control group.
