PRETEST / PERFORMED DURING THE ACCLIMATIZATION PERIOD
The objective of this investigation was to identify a maximally tolerated concentration of the test article suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application. The concentrations tested were for the epidermal application the most qualified to assure an optimum technical application procedure and for the intradermal injection the selected concentrations were tested up to 5 % (The Guinea Pig Maximization Test, page 270. Magnusson B.; Kligman A.M., 1969).
The procedure employed for these investigations was as follows:
INTRADERMAL INJECTIONS:
Intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made into the clipped flank of two guinea-pigs at concentrations of 5, 3 and 1% of the test article in ethanol.
The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later. For intradermal induction application a 3% test article dilution was selected.
EPIDERMAL PRETEST I:
Both flanks of each of 4 guinea pigs were clipped and shaved just prior to the application. Thereafter 4 patches of filter paper (2 x 2 cm) were saturated with the test article at A = 25% (this concentration used was found to be the most qualifled to assure an optimum technical application procedure), B = 15%, C = 10% and D = 5% of the test article in vaselinum album and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks. The patches were covered by a strip of aluminum foil and firmly secured by elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk and covered with impervious adhesive tape. This procedure ensured the intensive contact of the test article. The dressings were removed alter an exposure period of 24 hours.
Approximately 22 hours after removing of the dressing the application site was depilated with an approved depilatory cream (VEET Cream, Reckitt & Colman AG, CH-4123 Allschwil) to clean the application site from staining produced by the test article, so that possible erythema reactions were clearly visible at that time.
The depilatory was placed on the patch sites and surrounding areas, and left on for 3-5 minutes. It was then thoroughly washed off with a stream of warm, runn-ing water. The animals were then dried with a disposable towel, and returned to their cages. The reaction sites were assessed 24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage for erythema and oedema on a numerical basis according to Draize.
For the epidermal induction the test article at 50% in vaselinum album was selected.
EPIDERMAL PRETEST II:
A second epidermal pretest was performed to determine the highest non-irritating concentration used in the challenge procedure. Four additional animals were used and treated in the same conditions as that described previously in the epidermal pretest I. The concentrations of 5%, 3%, 1% and 0.5% in vaselinum album were applied.
For the challenge procedure the test article at 5% in vaselinum album was selected.
MAIN STUDY
INDUCTION
INTRADERMAL INJECTIONS I PERFORMED ON TEST DAY 1
An area of dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made at the border of a 4 x 6 cm area in the clipped region as follows:
Test Group:
1) 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
2) The test article, diluted to 3 % with ethanol.
3) The test article diluted to 3 % by emulsion in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
Control Group:
1) 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
2) Ethanol.
3) 1:1 (w/w) mixture of ethanol in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
EPIDERMAL APPLICATIONS/ PERFORMED ON TEST DAY 8
One week after the injections, the scapular area (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was again clipped and shaved free of hair. A 2 x 4 cm patch of filter paper was saturated with the test article (50% in vaselinum album) and placed over the injection sites of the test animals. The patch was covered with aluminum foil and firmly secured by an elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk of the animal and secured with impervious adhesive tape. The dressings were left in place for approximately 48 hours. The epidermal application procedure described ensured intensive contact of the test article.
The guinea-pigs of the control group were treated as described above with vaselinum album only.
Reaction sites were assessed for erythema and oedema 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, using the numerical grading system according to Draize.
CHALLENGE / PERFORMED ON TEST DAY 22
The test and control guinea-pigs were challenged two weeks after the epidermal induction application. The test and control guinea-pigs were treated in the same way.
Hair was clipped and shaved from a 5 x 5 cm area on the left and right flank of each guinea-pig just prior to the application. Two patches (2 x 2 cm) of filter paper were saturated with the highest non-irritating concentration of 5% (left flank) and the vehicle only (vaselinum album, applied to the right flank) using the same method as for the epidermal application. The dressings were left in place for 24 hours.
21 hours alter removal of the dressing the test sites treated with the test article were depilated with an approved depilatory cream (VEET Cream, Reckitt & Colman AG, CH-4123 Allschwil). The cream was placed on the patch sites for 3-5 minutes and then washed off with a stream of warm running water. When the application sites were clean and any stains from the test article removed the animals were dried with a disposable paper towel and returned to their cages.
24 and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing the application sites were assessed for erythema and oedema using the numerical scoring system according to Draize.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test article applied at a concentration of 5% in vaselinum album is considered to be a sensitizer when used under the described test conditions.
- Executive summary:
In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the test substance, the Maximization-Test in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 96154/EEC, B.6 was carried out in 30 (20 test and 10 control) female guinea pigs. In this study eight and nine of the animals of the test group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 5% in vaselinum album after 24 and 48 hours, respectively. No skin reactions were observed in the control group. Therefore the test substance at concentration of 5% in vaselinum album is considered to be a sensitizer when described under the test conditions.
