Description of key information

A Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) was conducted on MTDID 18990.

The results of the study was: Category 1A sensitizer when tested according to OECD 406.

The dermal sensitization potential of T-7353 was evaluated in the Maximization Test using male albino guinea pigs. This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD 406 (1992) and US EPA OPPTS 870.2600 (1998). T-7353 was prepared in mineral oil (vehicle) just prior to each dosing procedure. A pre-test rangefinder determined the appropriate doses for the intradermal and epidermal inductions and for the challenge phase. The test group (20 animals) received intradermal induction injections of 0.1 ml/site of a 1:1 mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA):water, 1% test article in vehicle, and 1% test article in 1:1 FCA/water.  A control group (10 animals) received the same induction treatment with the exclusion of test article.  Approximately 24 hours prior to the epidermal induction, the control group animals were pretreated with a 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulfate suspension in petrolateum. The test group animals did not need to be pretreated. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with 100% T-7353 (test group) or vehicle only (control group) one week after the intradermal induction. Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of 50% T-7353 and vehicle under occlusive dressing. Skin reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing. A positive control (alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde) is tested by this contract lab approximately every 6 months and the most recent test confirmed the validity of the experimental technique. No erythema or edema was observed at any site in the control group animals. No skin reactions were observed at the control sites in the test groupanimals. Mild to intense dermal reactions were observed at 19/20 test article sites in the test group animals (95% responding). Desquamation was also observed within these sites in 7/20 test group animals.  Based on the results of the study (95% responding, intradermal induction dose of 1%) the test article is a Category 1A skin sensitizer.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
An irritation screening study using eight animals was conducted to determine the irritation threshold of the test material. The purpose of the irritation screening study was to find the highest test material concentration that does not produce excessive irritation to use for intradermal injections, a moderately irritating concentration to use for the topical induction application, and the highest nonirritating topical concentration to be used for the challenge application. One irritation screening subgroup of four animals was treated intradermally with the test material at concentrations of 1,5, 10, 15, and 25% w/v in mineral oil with each animal receiving all five concentrations of the test material. Each test material concentration was administered as a 0. l-mL intradermal injection into a single shaved site on each animal. The injection sites were evaluated for erythema and edema reactions at 24 and 48 hours after injection. A second irritation screening subgroup of four animals first received duplicate 0.1 -mL intradermal injections of a 1:l dilution of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) and sterile water on the shaved shoulder area (one injection on each side of the midline). Eight days after administration of the intradermal injections, the animals received a topical application of T-7353 undiluted and at concentrations of 25, 50, and 75% w/v in mineral oil. Four application sites were selected on the shaved back of each animal (two on the right side and two on the left side). Each animal received all four concentrations of the test material. The test material concentrations were applied to saturation on 2-cm x 2-cm Whatman No. 3 filter papers, placed over the respective application sites, covered with overlapping strips of Blenderm tape, and overwrapped with Elastoplast 'tape. The patches remained in place for 24 hours after which they were removed. Any residual material was then removed from the application sites using liquid Ivory soap mixed with water, rinsed with water, and dried with disposable paper towels. The application sites were observed for dermal reactions at 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. The sites were shaved before the 24-hour observation.

Executive summary:

The dermal sensitization potential of T-7353 was evaluated in the Maximization Test using male albino guinea pigs. This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD 406 (1992) and US EPA OPPTS 870.2600 (1998). T-7353 was prepared in mineral oil (vehicle) just prior to each dosing procedure. A pre-test rangefinder determined the appropriate doses for the intradermal and epidermal inductions and for the challenge phase. The test group (20 animals) received intradermal induction injections of 0.1 ml/site of a 1:1 mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA):water, 1% test article in vehicle, and 1% test article in 1:1 FCA/water.  A control group (10 animals) received the same induction treatment with the exclusion of test article.  Approximately 24 hours prior to the epidermal induction, the control group animals were pretreated with a 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulfate suspension in petrolateum. The test group animals did not need to be pretreated. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with 100% T-7353 (test group) or vehicle only (control group) one week after the intradermal induction. Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of 50% T-7353 and vehicle under occlusive dressing. Skin reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing. A positive control (alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde) is tested by this contract lab approximately every 6 months and the most recent test confirmed the validity of the experimental technique. No erythema or edema was observed at any site in the control group animals. No skin reactions were observed at the control sites in the test groupanimals. Mild to intense dermal reactions were observed at 19/20 test article sites in the test group animals (95% responding). Desquamation was also observed within these sites in 7/20 test group animals.  Based on the results of the study (95% responding, intradermal induction dose of 1%) the test article is a Category 1A skin sensitizer.

Additional information:

The GPMT that was conducted on MTDID 18990 was conducted with a crude formulation with approximately 85 -87% CASRN 68911 -25 -1 and 13 -15% residual CASRN 4246 -51 -9. The purified mixture of MTDID 18990 contains 97.5% CASRN 68911 -25 -1 and 2.5% residual CASRN 4246 -51 -9. No experimental sensitization data exists for CASRN 4246 -51 -9 although it has been REACH registered as a Category 1 sensitizer based on structural alerts for terminal amino groups. In an abundance of caution, the data from the crude MTDID 18990 with higher residuals are applied to the purified MTDID 18990 to assign a Category 1A classification based on the GPMT results.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the study, MTDID 18990 is a Category 1A sensitizer.
