Details on study design:

Intradermal Dose Range: Prior to initiation of the induction, the irritation potential was determined. Four naive animals were exposed to four different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0%) of the test article in mineral oil by intradermal techniques described in site preparation and intradermal induction stage. In this test, both sides of the animal were clipped and exposed to the various concentrations of the test article. For grading of the response, the procedure described below for primary challenge was used, except only 24-hour grades were obtained.

Topical Dose Range: Four naive guinea pigs were exposed to several different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100%) of the test article. The procedure described in topical induction period was employed except that the wrapping were removed at 20 hours after doing. Twenty-one hours (20 to 22 hours) after unwrapping the sites were depilated. Four hours later (3-5 hours) the sites were examined for skin reactions (24-hour grade). The location of each of the concentrations of test article differed in each of the four animals to compensate for any site-to-site variations.

Site Preparation and Intradermal Induction Stage: The hair from an area over the shoulders of the guinea pigs was removed 24 to 48 hours prior to dosing using a clipper. The test article and vehicle control groups with and without FCA were injected in the shoulder region of each animal. A row of three injections, on each side of the animals, (i.e., 6 in all), was made as follows:
(1 & 2) 0.1 mL of FCA (1:1 mixture with distilled water)
(3 & 4) 0.1 mL of the test article in the vehicle (5% v/v) or the vehicle alone
(5 & 6) 0.1 mL of the test article in FCA (1:1) at 5% v/v or the vehicle emulsified with FCA and the vehicle (1:1)
Injections 1 & 2 were given close to each other nearest to the head and injection 5 & 6 are given most caudally; injections 3 & 4 are given between injection sites 1 & 2 and 5 & 6. The injection sites were just within the boundaries of a 2 x 4 cm patch, which was applied one week later for the topical induction.

Topical Induction Stage: After six days, the test sites were reclipped free of hair. Since irritation was observed in the animals dosed with the test article during the topical range-finding study, no pretreatment was performed.

One week after intradermal injections (Day 8), 0.3 mL of the test article (100%) was spread over a 2 x 4 cm filter paper and applied to the injection site area and occluded using Blenderm® tape. The Blenderm® tape was held in place with an appropriate bandage. A minimum of forty-eight hours later the dressings were removed. This same procedure was employed with the vehicle control article (0.3 mL) in the vehicle control animals. After the 48-hour exposure period, the induction sites were unwrapped and any residual material removed with gauze and mineral oil.

Challenge Period: On Day 22, the test article group and vehicle control group animals were challenged with occluded patches of the test article (100%) and vehicle for 24 hours on the left and right flanks, respectively. The hair was removed from these areas using a clipper 24 hours before application of the patches on Day 21. A 2 x 2 cm filter paper was saturated (0.2 mL) with the test article (100%) and applied to the left flank. Another 2 x 2 cm filter paper was saturated (0.2 mL) with the vehicle (mineral oil) and applied to the right flank. The same occlusive technique as for topical induction was employed.
Approximately twenty four hours later, the wrapping was removed and the sites wiped clean with gauze and mineral oil. Twenty one hours after unwrapping, the challenge sites were depilated with Nair Lotion Hair Remover (lot # L7340, pink lotion). Three hours later the sites were graded for elicited skin reactions (24-hour grade). Approximately twenty-four hours later the sites were graded a second time (48-hour grade).

Challenge controls:

On Day 22, the vehicle control group animals were challenged with occluded patches of the test article (100%) and vehicle for 24 hours on the left and right flanks, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

In conclusion, under the conditions of this study, an intradermal induction of the test article at 5% with a topical induction at 100%, followed by a topical challenge at 100% to guinea pigs did elicit a dermal sensitization response at 24 and 48 hours post treatment. Therefore, DADPM/DEG/PO is considered to be a contact sensitizer in Guinea Pigs.

Executive summary:

 

The purpose of this study was to determine if the test article elicits a delayed dermal contact hypersensitivity response in guinea pigs.

The test article was evaluated in the Magnusson-Kligman guinea pig maximization model of delayed hypersensitivity. Prior to experimental initiation of the induction, the irritation potential of the test article was determined with a dose range-finding studies (intradermal and topical) utilizing 8 naïve guinea pigs. Based upon these results, the intradermal dose utilized was 5%, the topical induction dose was 100% and the challenge dose utilized was 100% in the main study.

 

The main study was conducted with 10 animals for the test article group and five animals for the vehicle control group. 

No mortality was observed in any vehicle control or test article group animals in the study. No clinical signs were observed in any vehicle control group animals in the study. Decreased body tone was observed in one test article treated female on Day 21 through 25 of the study. No other clinical signs were noted in the test article treated group during the study.

 

Under the conditions of this study, an intradermal induction of the test article at 5% with a topical induction at 100%, followed by a topical challenge at 100% to guinea pigs did elicit a dermal sensitization response at 24 and 48 hours post treatment. Therefore, the test article, DADPM/DEG/PO is considered to be a contact sensitizer in Guinea Pigs.
