Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Preliminary test 1 (for determination of the concentration for intradermal induction): Two guinea pigs were injected intradermally with 0.1 mL (midline of the shaved shoulder region) of the test substance at concentrations of 10, 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5 and 0.25% (six sites, three of each on the left and right side of the midline of the shaved shoulder region).
Preliminary test 2 (for determination of the concentrations for topical induction and challenge): For topical applications, 0.1 mL of the test substance at concentrations of 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 2.5% were applied to four further animals. The animals were wrapped with occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
The skin reactions were then evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after intradermal injection and 24 and 48 hours after patch removal according to the evaluation standard of skin reaction by Magnusson and Kligman.
The following concentrations were chosen for the main study based on the results of this preliminary study: The concentrations for the intradermal induction was selected as 0.5% as this was the highest concentration that did not produce necrosis at the intradermal injection sites. The concentrations for the epicutaneous induction was selected at 100%, as it was the highest concentration that produced slight skin reactions at the topical application sites. For the challenge induction, the maximum no-irritation concentration of 25% and approximately its ½ of 10% were selected.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of 0.1 mL injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture of FCA/water
Injection 2: 0.5% of test substance
Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture of 1% test susbtance/FCA

Epicutaneous: 0.2 mL of 100% test substance

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of 0.1 mL injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture of FCA/water
Injection 2: water
Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture of FCA/water
- Site: shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: 0-8 days
- Concentrations: 0.5% intradermal and 100% epicutaneous

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: day 20
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test and control groups: 0.1 mL of the 25 and 10% test substance
- Site: flank
- Concentrations: 25 and 10%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control substance (0.1% DNCB in acetone) induced positive reactions in 5/5 animals (100%) at 24 and 48 hours after challenge patch removal. On the other hand, the sensitisation rates for the acetone challenge sites were determined to be 0% at 24 and 48 hours after challenge patch removal.
