RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration:
The following test concentrations were administered to the left and right flanks of three guinea pigs respectively:
Animal 1: 25.0 % in deionized water (left flank), 5% in deionzed water (right flank)
Animal 2: 25.0 % in deionized water (left flank), 1% in deionzed water (right flank)
Animal 3: 5.0 % in deionized water (left flank), 1% in deionzed water (right flank)
0.5 mL of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was fixed to the flank and covered occlusively for 24 h with a bandage and film. 24 h after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and edema.

Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections:
The following preparations were administered twice by intradermal injection to 2 guinea pigs:
Site 1. 2X0.1 mL 5.0 % test substance in deionized water
Site 2. 2X0.1 mL 1.0 % test substance in deionized water
Site 3. 2X0.1 mL 0.2 % test substance in deionized water

24, 48, 72 and 96 h after administration the injection sites were examined for local tolerance.

OTHER:

The substance is considered to be sensitizing if 30 % or more of the animals in the treatment group definitely showed a positive skin reaction and at the same time no irritant effects have emerged in the control group.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde
Positive control results:
The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde for the maximization test.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, none of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positives skin response after the challenge procedure.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the sensitizing potential of the test substance in female Pimol:DH Moellegaard guinea pigs, according EU Method B.6. and OECD guideline 406, using the Magnusson & Kligman method, in compliance with GLP.

Intradermal induction was performed using 5 % test substance in deionized water. Dermal induction was carried out with 25 % test substance in deionised water and the challenge test carried out with 5 % test substance in deionized water.

The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde for the maximization test.

Under the test conditions, the test substance showed no evidence for sensitizing properties in guinea pigs.

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