Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Guinea pig maximization test as described by B. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman (1970), the later released OECD Guideline 406 (1981) is based to a great extent on this publication.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid Guinea pig maximization test conducted comparable to guideline with acceptable restrictions is available, which is reliable with restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Potency estimation is not mandatory when existing guideline and GLP conforming data are available, which were conducted before the new annex of the REACH Regulation entered into force. Moreover, no indication for skin sensitisation was observed in this study, thus, no dose response information is needed. For this reason and for reasons of animal welfare no additional LLNA was conducted.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 times
- Exposure period: 0 and 1 week after injections topical application for 48 h
- Test groups: 15
- Control group: 5
- Site: a 4 x 6 cm area of dorsal skin on the scapular region was clipped free of hair.

First stage:: 3 pairs of intradermal injections were made simultaneously. A volume of 0.1 ml was injected into both infection sites (left and right site)
- Concentrations:
Test group:
1. 0.1 ml of Freund´s complete adjuvant 50 : 50 with water for injection
2. 0.1 ml of 0.5 % v/v test item in sterile isotonic saline
3. 0.1 ml of 0.5 % v/v test item in a 50 : 50 mixture of isotonic saline and Freund´s complete adjuvant
Control group:
1. 0.1 ml of Freund´s complete adjuvant 50 : 50 with water for injection
2. 0.1 ml of sterile isotonic saline
3. 0.1 ml of Freund´s complete adjuvant 50 : 50 with isotonic saline
Control animals: during the induction period control animals were treated similarly to the test animals but the test substance was omitted form intradermal injections and topical applications.

Second stage: 7 days after the first induction the same area was clipped and shaved free of hair. A 2 x 4 cm patch of filter paper was saturated with 60 % v/v test item in distilled water. Patch was placed on the skin and covered by a impermeable plastic adhesive tape ("Dermicel"). Tape
was secured by a elastic adhesive bandage ("Elastoplast"). Occulsive dressing was left in place for 48 h.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 time
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after the induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups:
2 x 2 cm filter paper was saturated with the test sample in a similar as used for second stage induction. Occlusive dressing for 24 h.
- Control group: The 5 animals of the control group were similarly challenged
- Site: hair was removed by clipping and then shaving a 5 x 5 cm area on the left flank.
- Concentrations: 10 % v/v test item in distilled water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48, 72 h after patch removal

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In this guinea-pig maximization test, performed in 20 albino guinea-pigs, Coco AAPB (30 % a.i.) did not produce evidence of delayed contract hypersensitivity.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with Coco AAPB (commercial product) 20 male Pirbright white guinea pig were tested using the MAXIMIZATION TEST described by b. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman (1970). The test method is similar to OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation).

The analytical purity of the test item is not stated in study report, according to producer information test material has 30 % a.i., impurities relevant to sensitisation and referred to a.i. are 8.3 % Alkylamidopropylamine and 33 -50 ppm DMPA (3-dimethylaminopropylamine).

At the first scoring, 24 h after challenge, 2/15 showed a skin reaction score 1 (slight erythema (barely perceptible)). The animals were free of erythema and edema at the second (48 h) and the third (72 h) scoring. None of the five negative animals showed up to and including the third scoring a positive skin reaction to challenge treatment.

In this study, Coco AAPB (30 % a.i.) is not a dermal sensitizer.
