- RANGE FINDING TEST
In a preliminary study, animals were pre-treated with an intradermal injection of Freud's complete adjuvant (FCA), 1:1 with water, approx. 1 week prior to the start of the preliminary investigations.
The preliminary investigations indicated that the highest concentration tested, i.e. 7.5% (w/v) in 5% acetone in Alembicol D, induced erythema and oedema formation without affecting the animal adversely after intradermal injection. After topical application of the test substance, no skin irritation (erythema or oedema formation) was observed up to a concentration of 70% (w/v) in acetone. This concentration (i.e. 70%) was the maximum technically achievable concentration.

Injection 2: 7.5% test substance in 5% acetone in Alembicol D
Injection 3: 7.5% test substance in a 1:1 mixture of FCA/5% acetone in Alembicol D
Epicutaneous: 70% test substance in acetone; pretreatment of application site with 10% (w/w) SDS in petrolatum 24 h prior to epicutaneous induction to produce irritation
- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: 5% acetone in Alembicol D
Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of FCA/5% acetone in Alembicol D
Epicutaneous: acetone; pretreatment of application site with 10% (w/w) SDS in petrolatum 24 h prior to epicutaneous induction to produce irritation
- Site: interscapular area (intradermal and epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: topical application 7 days after intradermal injections
- Duration: Days 0 - 9, dressing was removed 48 h post topical application
- Concentrations: intradermal: 7.5%, epicutaneous: 70%
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21 (14 days after epicutaneous induction)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test group: test substance
- Control group: test substance
- Site: left flank
- Concentrations: 35% posterior position, 70% anterior position
- Evaluation (h after challenge): 24 and 48 h after patch removal - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde and mercaptobenzothiazole were used within 6 months prior to the conduct of the study to successfully verify the sensitivity of the test method.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The positive control substances (10% hexyl cinnamic aldehyde and 10% mercaptobenzothiazole) induced positive reactions in 10/10 animals (100%), thus meeting the reliability criteria for the guinea pig maximisation test (≥ 30% positive response).

Any other information on results incl. tables
Induction
Intradermal injections: Necrosis was recorded at sites receiving Freund's Complete Adjuvant in test and control animals. Slight irritation was seen in test animals at sites receiving 7.5% (w/v) test substance in 5% acetone in Alembicol D and slight irritation was observed in control animals receiving 5% acetone in Alembicol D alone. Necrosis was observed in animals receiving 7.5% (w/v) test substance in a 1:1 mixture of FCA and 5% acetone in Alembicol D.
Topical application: Slight erythema was observed in test animals following topical application of 70% (w/v) test substance in acetone. Slight erythema was also seen in the control guinea pigs.
Clinical signs
No signs of toxicity were recorded.
Body weight
No effect on body weight and body weight gain was observed.
