Preliminary study: 2 animals

Main study:
Test group: 20 females
Control group: 10 females
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Yes, evaluation of dermal effects was done by treating the animals with 0.5%, 1% or 2% for intracutaneous induction (injection of 0.1 mL into the shaved flank) and 40%, 50%, 60% or 70% for epicutaneous induction and retreatment of the test substance (0.08 g on the shaved flank) and observation of irritating effects 24 h and 48 h after treatment.
Intradermal: Minimal irritation at 0.5% of the test article
Dermal: Minimal irritation at 40%
Based on the results of the preliminary study the minimal irritating concentrations, 0.5% dilution of the test substance in paraffine oil was used for intradermal induction and 40% of the test substance was used for the epidermal induction exposure. A 20% test substance concentration was selected as maximally non-irritating for the challenge phase.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single application (intradermal induction on Day 1) and 48 hours (epidermal induction on Day 7)
- Test groups: 1
Intradermal (double injections):
Injection 1: 0.1 mL 1:1 mixture (v/v) Freuds'complete adjuvant (FCA) in paraffin oil
Injection 2: 0.1 mL test substance with vehicle (paraffin oil) in concentration minimally irritating (5%)
Injection 3: 0.1 mL test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) with FCA (final concentrations: test substance minimally irritating (5%), FCA 50%)
Epicutaneous: test substance (40%) with vehicle (paraffin oil)

- Control group: 1
Intradermal (double injections; the injections 1 and 3 were identical):
Injection 1 and 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA in paraffin oil
Injection 2: only vehicle (paraffin oil)
Epicutaneous: vehicle (paraffin oil)

- Site: symmetrically on both sides of the spine and from cranial to cauda
- Frequency of applications: once
- Concentrations: intradermal: 0.5%, epicutaneous: 40%
- Other: An examination of the injections was performed 1 and 24 hours after treatment.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 22 (14 days after induction)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance and vehicle (paraffin oil)
- Control group: test substance and vehicle (paraffin oil)
- Site: One sheared flank
- Concentrations: 20% solution in paraffin oil
- Evaluation (hrs after the end of the challenge exposure): 24 and 48 h
- Other: 24 hrs after challenge application the application area was washed off with warm water
Positive control substance(s):
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

Main study:

Intracutaneous induction: After one hour, weak effects were observed in 7 of 20 treated animals and none of the control animals. 24 h after treatment, 11 of 20 treated animals showed weak effekts and again none of the control animals.

Epicutaneous induction: After one hour, weak up to moderate skin reactions were observed in 16 of 19 treated animals (one died after exposure) and in 7 of 10 control animals. 24 h later mostly weak effects were observed in 10 treated animals and in 2 of the control animals.
