- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Four patches at concentrations of 1, 5, 20 or 50% were applied to the shaved flanks of each of 4 guinea pigs and secured by an overlapping impermeable plastic adhesive tape and an elastic adhesive bandage which was wound around the torso of the animal and left in position for 24 hrs. The guinea pigs were pretreated with Freund’s adjuvant and petrolatum was used as the diluent. The skin sites were then evaluated 24 and 48 hrs after removal of the patch.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: three pairs of simultaneous intradermal injections and one topical application
- Exposure period: patch test applied for 48 hrs, one week after the intradermal injections
- Test groups: one
- Control group: yes
- Site: clipped and closely shaved skin over the shoulder of the animal
- Frequency of applications: simultaneous intradermal injections followed 1 wk later by a 48-hr dermal application.
- Duration: 9 days
- Concentrations: 0.1 ml of a saturated solution of the test substance alone or 0.05 ml of the same test substance emulsified with adjuvant used in the intradermal injections, 50% dilution in petrolatum used in the topical application
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after topical induction application
- Exposure period: 24 hrs
- Test groups: one
- Control group: yes
- Site: clipped skin on the flank
- Concentrations: 5% dilution in petrolatum used for 1st challenge phase and 1% dilution in petrolatum used for 2nd challenge phase 7 days later.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hrs after removal of the patch
OTHER:
The topical application induction and challenge patches were secured by an overlapping impermeable plastic adhesive tape which, in turn, was secured by an elastic adhesive bandage wound around the torso of the animal. - Challenge controls:
- The control group of guinea pigs was treated with sterile distilled water instead of the test material at induction. Otherwise the induction phase was identical, including the administration of Freund’s Adjuvant. The controls were challenged using the test substance in exactly the same manner as the test group of animals.
- Positive control substance(s):
- no

The results of the range-finding study indicated that a dilution of 5% could be used at the challenge phase without causing irritation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In a guideline GPMT, rhodium dicarbonyl acetylacetonate showed evidence of sensitization in all of the treated guinea pigs and, having a sensitization rate of 81-100%, would be classified as an extreme (grade 5) sensitizer on the Magnusson and Kligman Scale in this test system. Due to the method of test sample preparation, there is some doubt as to the identity of what was actually tested. On this basis, classification as category 1 is considered appropriate.
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitising potential of rhodium dicarbonyl acetylacetonate was investigated in a study conducted according the method of Magnusson and Kligman (as described in OECD Test Guideline 406). The test item was administered, with and without Freund’s complete adjuvant, to the clipped skin over the shoulder of a group of ten female guinea pigs via intradermal injection ("saturated solution in water obtained by heating at 50 deg C for 24 hours, then cooled to ambient temperature"), followed one week later by a 48-hr topical application (occluded, 50% dilution in petrolatum) to the same clipped and shaved area. A 24-hr challenge dose (5% in petrolatum) was similarly applied 2 weeks after the topical induction to the clipped flank area and the site was evaluated 24 and 48 hrs after removal of the patch. The site was rechallenged with a 1% dilution in petrolatum and again assessed 24 and 48 hr after removal of the patch. A control group of 4 guinea pigs was similarly treated but without exposure to the test material at induction.
When challenged with both the 5 and 1% dilutions, all ten of the test animals exhibited positive reactions at the challenge site and no reactions were seen in any of the control animals. Rhodium dicarbonyl acetylacetonate was, therefore, classified as an extreme (grade 5) sensitizer, with a sensitization rate of 81-100%, in this test system.
Given the preparation method of the saturated solution for test induction, there is some doubt as to the identity of the substance actually tested. The substance exhibits solubility properties that indicate potential for decomposition that would be exacerbated by the conditions used to prepare the aqueous solution (stirring for 24 hours at 50 deg C). For this reason, there is currently considered to be insufficient information on the induction concentration and substance stability to determine a sub-category for skin sensitisation based on EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008). Classification as Category 1 is considered appropriate.
