Executive summary:

Method

The study has been performed according to OECD guideline 406 and on Annex V, Part B of Council Directive 67/548/EEC.

The test has been performed in essence according to the original protocol of Magnusson and Kligman, on 5 male and 5 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 male guinea pigs in the control group.

The animals were housed individually in Macrolon cages (Type 3), identified by individual ear tags, kept at a constant room temperature and a 12 hours light cycle day.

Test animals were initially exposed to the test substance by intradermal injection and epidermal application during a pretest phase. The test substance was selected at 5 % in physiological saline (w/v) for intradermal induction; after 7 days 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 % of test substance in physiological saline were selected for an epidermal application. 50 % was the highest possible concentration of the test artcile in physiological saline. The tested concentrations did not induce erythema reactions. During the test procedure at day 0 the induction phase was performed with three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) made simultaneously into the left and right side of the shaved neck of the test and control group animals. The injections of the test animals consisted of: - adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v) - 5 % test article in physiological saline (w/v) - 5 % test article in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v).
The injections of the control group consisted of: - adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v) - adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v) - physiological saline (w/v)
At day 7 the application site of all animals was pretreated with 10 % sodium-laurylsulfate (open application) 24 hours prior to the epidermal induction application. At day 8 the substance at 50 % was incorporated in physiological saline and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours). The control group was treated with the physiological saline only. Following a resting period of 14 days (induction period), during which an immune response may develop, the animals were exposed to a challenge dose.

The test and control group animals were tested on one flank with substance at 50 % in physiological saline and on the other flank with the vehicle only (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours). At day 28 after that the first challenge application caused reactions in 40 % of the animals of the control group, a second challenge, using a lower test article concentration and a new control group, was performed. The test and control group animals were tested on one flank with substance at 10 % in physiological saline and on the other flank with the vehicle only (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours).

Observations

After the first challenge application 80 % and 100 % of the animals of the test group and 40 % of the animals of the control showed skin reactions. After the second challenge application, using a lower test article concentration, 50 % and 70 % of the animals of the test group at 24 and 48 hours respectively were sensitised, and none of the animals of the new control group showed skin reactions after removing the dressings.

Conclusions

Skin sensitising.
