Details on study design:
Preliminary study
The topical irritancy of a range of dilutions of the test substance was investigated to identify where possible (a) concentrations that would produce irritation suitable for the induction phase of the main study and (b) a maximum non-irritant concentration for the challenge phase.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 9 (epicutaneous)
- Exposure period: 6 hours (application) // 30 min, 24 hrs (observation)
- Test groups: All
- Control group: Yes
- Site: skin on the left shoulder
- Frequency of applications: Total 9 (three per week)
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 50% w/v in Alembicol D

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 (epicutaneous)
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after the final induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours (application)
- Test groups: All
- Control group: Yes
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 50% w/v in Alembicol D
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48, 72 hours after removal of the patches
Challenge controls:
Yes, the control animals were challenged topically two weeks after the final induction application using the read across substance 50% w/v in coconut oil.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
CLINICAL SIGNS
No signs of ill health or toxicity were recorded.

BODYWEIGHT
Bodyweight increases were recorded for all guinea-pigs over the period of the study.

INDUCTION
There were no dermal reactions seen for any of the control animals receiving the dry patch. Irritation generally well-defined was seen for test animals during induction.

CHALLENGE
Six of the ten animals showed evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity), thus confirming the sensitivity of the test method

In vivo (non-LLNA)

Any other information on results incl. tables

CLINICAL SIGNS

No signs of ill health or toxicity were recorded.

 

BODYWEIGHT

Bodyweight increases were recorded for all guinea-pigs over the period of the study.

 

INDUCTION

There were no dermal reactions seen in any of the test or control animals.

 

CHALLENGE

The dermal reaction seen for one of the twenty test animals (slight irritation) was more marked than those seen for the controls and therefore this animal was given a positive response. A further one animal gave an inconclusive response. The remaining eighteen test animals (no irritation) were same as those seen for control animals and these animals were therefore given a negative response.
