Details on study design:
Induction
Intradermal induction:

6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal were applied to each animal
side of application: neck region
Injections for the control groups:
A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance
emulsified with 0.9 % aqueous NaCI-solution in a ratio of 1 : 1

B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of the undiluted vehicle

C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of a 50 % formulation of the vehicle without
test substance emulsified with Freund's adjuvant* / 0.9 % aqueous NaCI-solution 1 :1

Injection for the test group:
A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant* without test substance
emulsified with 0.9 % aqueous NaCI-solution in a ratio of 1 : 1

B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of a test substance formulation in an
appropriate vehicle at the selected concentration

C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant* / 0.9 % aqueous
NaCI-solution 1 : 1 with test substance at the selected concentration.

Reading: 24 h after the beginning of application

Epicutaneous induction:
one week after intradermal induction
test group: 1 mL of the test substance formulation/animal
control group: treated analogously to the test group but only with the vehicle without the test substance
Duration of exposure: 48 hours
Side of application: neck region, same area as in the case of the previous intradermal application
Reading: 48 h after the beginning of application

Challenge:
14 days after the epicutaneous induction
0.5 mL of the test substance formulation was applied to each animal
test group and control group 1 were treated with the substance formulation. Additionally, Lutrol E 400 was applied as a vehicle control. Control group 2 only received Lutrol E 400.
Duration of exposure: 24 hours
Site of application: intact flank
Reading: 24 h and 48 h after the removal of the patch
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
A positive control with a known sensitizer was not included in this study. However, a separate study was performed twice a year in the Iaboratory using Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde.
Positive control results:
The positive controls with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde techn. 85% showed that the test system was able to detect sensitizing compounds under the Iaboratory conditions chosen.

The intradermal induction caused moderate and confluent erythema and swelling or intense erythema and swelling at the injection sites of the test substance preparation in all test group animals. After the epicutaneous induction incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to moderate and confluent erythema and swelling in all test group animals.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising

Additional information:

In a dermal sensitisation study with diisopropanol-p-toluidin (BASF AG, 2002) guinea pigs were tested using the maximisation test of Magnusson and Kligman according to the OECD Guideline 406. The test substance concentrations for the main test were selected based on the results of the pretest. The intradermal induction was performed with a 0.1 % test substance preparation in olive oil and the epicutaneous induction with a 50 % test substance preparation in Lutral® E 400. For the challenge a 25 % test substance preparation in Lutral® E 400 was chosen. The study was initiated with 2 control groups and 1 test group. The intradermal induction was performed on day 0 and the epicutaneous induction on day 7. A challenge was carried out 14 days after the epicutaneous induction. The intradermal induction caused moderate and confluent erythema and swelling or intense erythema and swelling at the injection sites of the test substance preparation in all test group animals. After the epicutaneous induction incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to moderate and confluent erythema and swelling in all test group animals. After the challenge discrete or patchy erythema was observed in one out of 10 animal of the test group. Based on the results of this study it was concluded that diisopropanol-p-toluidin does not have a sensitising effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the maximization test under the test conditions chosen.
