- RANGE FINDING TESTS: A local tolerance study (pretest) was performed to ensure an intracutaneously tolerable concentration without any necrosis for the induction procedure (reddenings and swellings were accepted). The concentration used in the present test for intracutaneous application (1.25%) was the highest concentration that could be applied, as 5% [recommended as maximum concentration when tolerated] and 2.5% could not be formulated in a form that allowed intracutaneous application. The reactions were recorded 24 hours after application. Furthermore, an epicutaneously tolerable concentration for epidermal application in the induction procedure and for epicutaneous challenge was determined. Filter papers with 0.2 mL of the test formulations (25% and 12.5%) were epidermally applied under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. 25% as high concentration is the recommended maximum concentration for induction procedures, provided that the treatment produces no excessive irritation. As a concentration is recommended which is tolerated without any local reactions for the challenge, a second concentration of 12.5% was tested. The reactions were recorded 24 hours after removal of the filter papers.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal (day 0)
- No. of exposures: 3 pairs of intradermal injections 0.1 mL
Test group
a) 0.1 mL FCA + vehicle (1 + 1)
b) 0.1 mL 1.25% (w/v) test item
c) 0.1 mL 2.5% (w/v) test item + FCA (1 + 1) ≙ 1.25% (w/v) of test item
Control group
a) 0.1 mL FCA + vehicle (1 + 1 )
b) 0.1 mL vehicle
c) 0.1 mL FCA + vehicle (1 + 1)
Epidermal application
The same area of skin (4 x 6 cm) in which intradermal injections were performed was reshaved on day 8 of the test and was epidermally treated with approximately 1 mL sodium lauryl sulphate (test item) [10% (w/v)] in liquid paraffin to cause superficial irritation to enhance the sensitivity for the subsequent second induction. 24 hours later, on day 9, 0.2 mL of a 25% (w/v) suspension of the test item in liquid paraffin was spread over a 2 x 4 cm filter paper (Whatmann, no. 3MM) for use in the test group, whereas for the control group 0.2 mL of liquid paraffin only was used. This filter paper was subsequently applied to the above-mentioned area pretreated with sodium lauryl sulphate. The patch was bandaged occlusively for 48 hours.
- Test groups: treatment and vehicle control group
- Site: In the neck region (right to left side of the spine) of each animal an overall area of 4 x 6 cm.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
On day 23 (two weeks after the epidermal administration) a skin area of 5 x 5 cm was shorn on the right flank of each animal in both groups. Approximately 0.1 mL of the test item [25% (w/v)] in liquid paraffin, which previously proved to be locally tolerated without reactions, was spread over a 2 x 2 cm piece of filter paper. This patch was placed in the middle of the shorn area of skin and bandaged occlusively for 24 hours. Reactions were recorded 24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- The reference substance mercaptobenzothiazol was tested in Aug./Sep. 96 in the testing facility.
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity of the used method was proven by performance of a maximization test with mercaptobenzothiazol, a positive reference substance recommended in OECD guideline 406. This reference substance (mercaptobenzothiazol) was tested in Aug./Sep. 96 at the test facility. In the test all animals reacted positively to the challenge with mercaptobenzothiazol.

- Conclusions:
- In a guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) according to OECD TG 406 a contact-sensitizing potential of the test substance could be observed based on the results after intradermal induction with 1.25 % of the test item and epicutaneous challenge with 25 % of the test item. As 70 % of the animals reacted positively, thus, the test item should be classified as a moderate skin sensitizer.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study according to OECD TG 406 (17 July 1992) with Epoxide-Valerate 1.25%(w/v), young adult female/male guinea pigs (Dunkin Harley Pirbright White) (5/sex/dose) were tested in the GPMT (OECD TG 406). For induction the animals were treated either intracutaneous with 0.1 mL of diluted (1 + 1 with vehicle) Freund´s complete adjuvant (FCA), test item [1.25% (w/v)] or test item [2.5% (w/v)] diluted 1 + 1 with FCA into the right and left dorsal neck region on study day 1. In the same way, the control group (5 male, 5 female) received 0.1 mL of the vehicle [paraffin oil] with and without FCA. On day 9, the same area of skin was covered with a filter paper impregnated with the test item [25% (w/v) in liquid paraffin] for the test group, or impregnated with liquid paraffin for the controls. On day 23, as a challenge, the same procedure was followed as on day 9, but the controls also received the filter paper impregnated with the test item [25% (w/v)] in liquid paraffin. The application was made in the more sensitive flank region.
In the test group a positive reaction in the form of slight to moderate reddening and/or slight swelling was observed in 7 of the 10 animals 24 to 48 hours after the end of challenge with 25 % (w/v) of the test item, whereas no animal in the control group showed any reactions.
Due to the moderate incidence of findings (70% of the animals reacted), this finding is regarded as a moderate contact-sensitizing potential of the test item.
Reference
In a preceding local tolerance test, the concentration of 1.25 % (w/v) of the test item was found to be the highest intradermally applicable concentration and to be tolerated without necrosis. The concentration of 25 % (w/v) of the test item was tolerated epidermally without any local findings. Therefore, these concentrations were chosen to be used in the maximization test.
In the test group a positive reaction in the form of slight to moderate reddening and/or slight swelling was observed in 7 of the 10 animals 24 to 48 hours after the end of challenge with 25 % (w/v) of the test item, whereas no animal in the control group showed any reactions.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)

Justification for classification or non-classification
