Description of key information
A 51-year-old man had been working in dye factory for 25 years and had noticed itching and pigmentation on the extremities for the past 5 years. On examination there were erythematous lesions, lichenification and pigmentation, diffusely and symmetrically over the dorsa of the hands, feet and legs. Patch test was performed having concentration of Sudan I is 1%. They were applied on the back for 48 hours, and the test read 1h and 24 h after removal according to the ICDRG Classification. Positive reaction was observed for to 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudan I).Therefore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudan I) was considered to be a skin sensitizer and can be classiffied as sensitizer1 according to GHS criteria.

Skin sensitization
Various studies for target (,1-phenylazo-2-naphthol CAS No.-842-07-9) were summarized as follows:
A 51-year-old man had been working in dye factory for 25 years and had noticed itching and pigmentation on the extremities for the past 5 years. On examination there were erythematous lesions, lichenification and pigmentation, diffusely and symmetrically over the dorsa of the hands, feet and legs. Patch test was performed having concentration of Sudan I is 1%. They were applied on the back for 48 hours, and the test read 1h and 24 h after removal according to the ICDRG Classification. Positive reaction was observed for to 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudan I).Therefore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudan I) was considered to be a skin sensitizer and can be classiffied as sensitizer1 according to GHS criteria.
An area of the back of tortoise shell guinea pigs (weight 250-300 g) was shaved with electric clippers and then with an electric razor. As sensitization procedure, the 24 hour closed patch testing 0.3% 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol in ethanol was performed in 10 animals every third day for 2 weeks. An untreated group of 5 animals was used as control. Eleven days after the last patch test, challenge procedure were performed daily for 1-3 days by applying 0.01ml of ethanol solution containing 0.1 % 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol to 3 untreated area on the back of the guinea pigs. The reaction were evaluated over a period of 43 days. The test result was positive. Allergic reaction and pigmentation was observed.Therefore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol(CAS no-842-07-9) was considered to be sensitizing in tortoise shell guinea pigs.
Patch test was performed to five female by applying 1% concentration in petrolatum on the back of five female. The exposure time was 2 days. Reading were done 1h and 24 h after the patches were removed. 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol was found to be strong allergen in all cases. It shows erythema with edema, papule and vesicle in 1st, 4thand 5thcase and erythema with edema in 2ndand 3rdcase.Therefore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol(CAS no-842-07-9) was considered to be skin sensitizer in human.
Skin sensitizationn test was conducted in guniea pig by fallowing way.
Part 1:A series of four sacral intradermal injection was given one each week over a one week period witch considered of 0.1ml of a 1% solution (vol/vol) of oil orange 15 % AI in water. Following a two week rest period, the test animals were challenged for sensitization by applying, and lightly rubbing in, one drop ( ̴0.05 ml) of H-8575 as supplied and a 50 % solution (vol/vol) of H-8575 in water on the shaved intact shoulder skin. It produced strong erythema with edema in 7/10 test and pig challenge. This material is strong sensitizer. A further test is determine what ingredient in the formulation is responsible for the sensitization follows.
Part 2(Re-challenge test):-When guinea pig sensitizes to oil orange dye 15%AI were challenged with a 50% solution of oil orange dye 15 % AI 7/10 guinea pig has a sensitization response. When challenged with a 7.5 % solution of recrystallized oil orange in propylene glycol, 9/10 guinea pig has a sensitization response. When challenged with a 50 % solution of the mix of adjuvants, there was no evidence of sensitization in any of the guinea pigs. It can therefore concluded that the sensitization the oil orange dye 15 % AI was result of the oil orange and not to any other component of the formulation.Therefore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (CAS no-842-07-9) was considered to be a skin sensitizer in gunieapig.
On the basis of available information form key and supporting study of target, the test substance can be considered as sensitising to the skin.
