Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The 100% concentration of the test item used for the intradermal application was well-tolerated systemically, causing mild skin irritation during the pretest. Epidermal application of the undiluted substance in the pretest did not cause any skin irritation.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 pairs of intradermal injections (day 1) and 1 epidermal application (day 8) for 48 hours
- Test groups: TS and FCA
- Control group: Peanut oil and FCA
- Site: dorsal skin of the scapular region
- Duration: 48 hours for epidermal induction under occlusive dressing
- Concentrations: 100% for injections as well as for epidermal application

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 22
- Exposure period: 24 hours under occlusive dressing
- Test groups: TS
- Control group: TS
- Site: 3 x 3 cm area of the left flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage

Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A reliability check had been performed with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole half a year before in the same laboratory, confirming the sensitivity of the used animal strain.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the findings in the adjuvant sensitization test (M&K-test) in guinea pigs and in accordance to Commission Directive 96/54/EEC, Y-15099 has to be classified and labelled as an extreme skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of Y-15099, the Maximization-Test was performed in 15 (10 test and 5 control) female albino guinea pigs, in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 96/54/EEC, B.6.

The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with the undiluted test item (100%). The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusive conditions with the undiluted test item one week after the intradermal induction and following pre-treatment of the test areas with 10% Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfate (SLS) 24 hours prior to application of the test item. The animals of the control group were treated with 10% SLS only.

Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the undiluted test item under occlusive dressing.

Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

No toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control or test group. No deaths occurred.

Eight (at the 24 -hour reading) and 9 (at the 48 -hour reading) out of 10 test animals showed discrete/patchy to moderate/confluent erythema after the challenge treatment with Y-15099 at 100%. No skin effect was observed in the control group.
