Details on study design:
RAGE FINDING TESTS:
The intradermal and topical irritancy of a range of dilutions of the test substance was investigated to determine concentrations that would produce irritation suitable for the induction phase of the main study and the maximum non-irritant concentration by the topical route of administration for the challenge phase. 7.5% v/v in 5% acetone in Alembicol D was the highest concentration that caused irritation but did not adversely affect the animals. The test substance applied topically as supplied did not give rise to irritating effects.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 intradermal (three pairs of injections) and 1 dermal.
- Exposure period: not applicable (intradermal), 48 hours (dermal).
- Test groups: Test substance, test substance + FCA (Freund's Complete adjuvant), FCA.
- Control group: FCA, FCA+ vehicle, vehicle.
- Site: A 40x60 mm area of dorsal skin on the scapular region of the guinea-pig was clipped free of hair with electric clippers. Three pairs of intradermal injections were made into a 20x40 mm area.
- Frequency of applications: intradermal on day 0, dermal at day 7
- Duration: 7 days
- Concentrations: Intradermal induction (three pair of injections):
Test substance: 7.5% v/v in 5% acetone in Alembicol D
Test substance + FCA: 7.5% v/v in a 50:50 mixture of FCA and 5% acetone in Alembicol D
FCA: diluted with an equal volume of water .

Six days after the injections the site was pre-treated by gentle rubbing with 0.5 ml per site of 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolatum. 24 hours later a 20 x 40 mm patch of paper was saturated with approximately 0.4 ml test substance as supplied. The patch was placed on the skin of the test animals and covered by a length of impermeable plastic adhesive tape. This was firmly secured by elastic adhesive bandage wound round the torso of the animal and fixed with impervious plastic adhesive tape. The dressing was left in place for 48 hours.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: 21 (two weeks after induction)
- Exposure period: 24h
- Test groups: Test substance
- Control group: Test substance
- Site: Hair was removed by clipping and then shaving from an area on the left flank of each guinea-pig. A 20 x 20 mm patch of paper was saturated with approximately 0.2 ml of test substance as supplied and applied to an anterior site on the flank. 50% v/v of the test substance in acetone was applied in a similar manner to the posterior site. The patches were sealed to the flank for 24 hours under strips covered by wound round the trunk and secured.
- Concentrations: as supplied and 50% v/v in acetone
- Evaluation (h after challenge): 24, 48, 72 h after the removal of the patches

OBSERVATIONS:
Clinical signs: All animals were observed daily for signs of ill health or toxicity.
Bodyweight: The bodyweight of each guinea-pig on the main study was recorded on Day 1 (day of intradermal injections) and on the last day observations were made of dermal responses to the challenge application.
Dermal responses: The dermal reactions resulting from intradermal injection and topical application on the preliminary study, and topical application at the challenge were assessed using Draize scoring system.
Challenge controls:
0.1mL of 5% acetone in Alembicol D.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde
Positive control results:
The positive controls are periodically checked by Huntingdon Life Sciences to detect skin sensitization potential. The last study was performed between 8 December 1992 and 18 February 1995. In this study HCA produced evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in all of the ten animals, thus confirming the sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique.

CLlNICAL 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

Intradermal injections:

Necrosis was recorded at sites receiving Freund's Complete Adjuvant in test and control animals. Slight irritation was seen in test animals at sites receiving 7.5% v/v in 5% acetone in Alembicol D and slight irritation was observed in control animals receiving 5% acetone in Alembicol D alone.

Topical application:

Slight erythema was observed in test animals following topical application with test item as supplied and slight erythema was seen in the control guinea-pigs.

CHALLENGE

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

A: Anterior site, exposed to OS-2200 as supplied.
P: Posterior site, exposed to OS-2200, 50% v/v in acetone.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test, OS-2200 did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation in any of the ten test animal.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitisation study was performed with the substance OS-2200 according to EU method B.6 under GLP conditions. A group of 10 guinea-pigs were intradermally (OS-2200 7,5% v/v in 5% acetone in alembicol d) and topically (six days after injections, as supplied) induced to develop an immune-hypersensitive state, during this phase a group of 5 guinea-pigs were treated similarly to the test animals with the exception that the test substance was omitted from intradermal injection and topical application. Sensitisation is potentiated by the injection of Freund's complete adjuvant, validity criteria were fulfilled. Two weeks after the topical induction animals were topically challenged using patches of OS-2200 as supplied and 50% v/v in acetone for 24 hours. All animals were observed daily and no signs of ill health or toxicity were recorded, the challenge sites were evaluated 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches and there were no dermal reactions seen in any of the test or control animals. In the study, OS-2200 did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Key study: GPMT skin sensitisation study was performed with the substance OS-2200 according to EU method B.6 under GLP conditions. A group of 10 guinea-pigs were intradermally te(OS-2200 7,5% v/v in 5% acetone in alembicol d) and topically (as supplied) induced to develop an immune-hypersensitive state. Two weeks after the topical induction animals were topically challenged using patches of OS-2200, as supplied and 50% v/v in acetone for 24 hours. No signs of toxicity was recorded. There were no dermal reactions in any of the test or control animals. The test item did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation.
