RANGE FINDING TESTS:

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15.
- Test groups: MI3 exposure, 20 animals
- Control group: Vehicle (sterile water) exposure, 10 animals
- Site: Left shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: 3 times
- Duration: 6 hours
- Concentrations: 90% w/v in sterile water

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: One
- Day(s) of challenge: Two weeks after final induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: MI3 exposure, 20 animals
- Control group: Exposured as test group, 10 animals
- Site: The right flank
- Concentrations: 90% w/v in sterile water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 6 hours

OTHER:
Challenge controls:
yes as test animals challanged with MI3 90% v/v
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) as 50% v/v in Alembicol D

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Induction:
Slight to well-defined dermal reactions were observed for all test animals during the induction period and no dermal reactions were observed for the control animals.
Challenge:
The dermal reaction seen in all the ten test animals were more marked than those for controls, therefore the reactions seen in all of the test animals were considered to represent evidence of skin sensitization.
Conclusion:
In this study HCA produced evidence of skin sensitization in all of the ten animals, thus confirming the sensitivity and reliability of experimental technique to detect skin sensitization potential.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The Study was conducted to determine the skin sensitization potential of MI3 using the guinea-pig. The study was designed in accordance with OECD guideline method 406 “modified Buehlers test”. The MI3 dose level was chosen to be 90% v/v from a preliminary study, and hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) was used as positive control. Twenty test and ten control female guinea-pigs received 3 induction applications with either MI3 (90% v/v) or water, respectively, and a challenge test two weeks after the final induction. There was no indicative of systemic toxicity or ill health for any of the guinea-pigs. In this study MI3 did not produce evidence of skin sensitization in any of the twenty test animals.
Executive summary:

The Study was conducted to determine the skin sensitization potential of MI3 using the guinea-pig. The study was designed in accordance with OECD guideline method 406 “modified Buehlers test” the commission directive 96/54/EC, Method B6, and the US EPA Health effects test Guidelines OPPTS 870.2600. The MI3 dose level was chosen to be 90% v/v from a preliminary study and hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) was used as positive control. Twenty test and ten control female guinea-pigs received 3 induction applications on the shoulder region at Day 1, 8 or 15 with either MI3 (90% v/v) or water, respectively. All animals were challenged test two weeks after the final induction and examined after 24 or 48 hours. There was no indicative of bodyweight loss, systemic toxicity or ill health for any of the guinea-pigs. All animals exposed to HCA showed positive evidence of skin sensitization after 48 hours. In the present study, MI3 did not produce evidence of skin sensitization in any of the twenty test animals.
