- RANGE FINDING TESTS: The fur was removed by clipping the dorsal area and flanks of each guinea pig. This area was divided into four test sites (two sites on each side of the midline) on each animal. The test substance was applied neat (100%) and was also diluted with distilled water to yield concentrations of 75%, 50%, 25%, 20%,10%, 5% and 2%. Each concentration was applied to a test site using an occlusive 25 mm Hilltop Chamber. The sites were wrapped with non-allergenic Durapore adhesive tape. After 6 hours of exposure, the chambers were removed. Twenty-four hours after application, each site was evaluated for local reactions (erythema). Based on these results, the highest non-irritating concentration selected for the challenge phase was a 20% w/w suspension in distilled water. Furthermore, the selected highest non-irritating concentration of the positive control (1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitrobenzene (DNCB)) was determined to be a 0.04% w/w solution in acetone.

Eschar and/or desquamation were evident at several sites after the third and fifth inductions. Due to the severity of irritation, the dose sites were relocated to an adjacent area for inductions four and six.
CHALLENGE PHASE
Positive Control Animals (0.04% DNCB in acetone): Seven of twenty positive control animals exhibited signs of a sensitization response (faint to moderate erythema (1-2)) 24 hours after challenge. Similar indications persisted in three of these animals through 48 hours. Very faint erythema (0.51) was noted at most other positive control sites following the challenge dose.
Positive Naive Control Animals (0.04% DNCB in acetone); Very faint erythema (0.5) was noted at Three of ten positive naive control animals 24 hours after challenge. Irritation cleared from all affected sites by 48 hours. - Key result

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
A Dermal Sensitization test was conducted with guinea pigs to determine the potential for the test substance to produce sensitization after repeated topical applications.
The test substance was applied to twenty healthy test guinea pigs and Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB, 0.08%), respectively, was applied to twenty healthy positive control animals two times each week for a three week induction period. Thirteen days after the last induction, a challenge dose of the test and positive control substances at their highest non-irritating concentrations (HNIC, 20% and 0.04%, respectively) was applied to a naive site on each guinea pig. Approximately
24 and 48 hours after each induction and challenge dose, the animals were scored for erythema.
Two naive control groups (ten animals for the test substance and ten for the positive control substance) were maintained under the same environmental conditions and treated with the test or positive control substance at challenge only.
Very faint to severe erythema (score 0.5-3), was noted at all test sites during the induction phase. Irritation was most severe following the second, third and fifth inductions. Eschar and/or desquamation were also evident at several sites following these doses. A reduction in the severity of irritation was noted shortly after the induction concentration was reduced (75% to 50% suspension) or after the dose sites were relocated to an adjacent area.
Very faint 10 severe erytheme (score 0.5-3) was exhibited at all positive control sites during the induction phase. Eschar and/or desquamation were evident at some sites after the third and fifth inductions. Due to the severity of irritation, the dose sites were relocated to an adjacent area for inductions four and six.
Faint erythema (score 1) was noted at one test site 24 hours after the challenge dose. Very faint erythema (score 0.5) was noted at most other sites 24 and 48 hours after challenge.
Very faint erythema (score 0.5) was noted at several naive control lest sites alter the challenge
dose.
Seven of twenty positive control animals exhibited signs of a sensitization response (faint to moderate erythema (score 1-2)) 24 hours after challenge. Similar indications persisted in three of these animals through 48 hours. Very faint erythema (score 0.5) was noted at most other positive control sites following the challenge dose. Very faint erythema (score 0.5) was noted at three of ten positive naive control animals 24 hours after challenge. Irritation cleared from all affected sites by 48 hours,
Due to the presence of taint erythema (score 1) at one test site 24 hours after challenge, a rechallenge was conducted. An additional group of ten animals was placed on test to serve as a naive control group for rechallenge.
Very faint (score 0.5) erythema was noted at five of twenty test sites after rechallenge. Erythema cleared from two of the five affected sites by 48 hours.
Very faint erythema (score 0.5) was noted at three naive control sites 24 and 48 hours after rechallenge.
Based on the results of testing, the test substance is not considered to be a contact sensitizer.
