Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
According to G. Klecak: Identification of Contact Allergens (Predictive Tests in Animals) in: Advances in Modern Toxicology Vol. 4, - Dermatotoxicology and Pharmacology -, ed. F. N. Marzulli, H.I. Maibach, pp. 321 - 324 (1977)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
open epicutaneous test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The test was performed in 1984, before LLNA was selected as the first-choice test and before OECD 429 was adopted.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: In a pre-test 0.025 mL/cm² of 10, 3, 1 and 0.3% test substance in ethanol and conc. ethanol were applied to the skin of guinea pigs (epicutaneous open). 1% was found to be the minimal irritating concentration and 0.3% as the maximal non-irritating concentration. Readings were conducted 24, 48 and 72 hours following application.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 20
- Exposure period: 24 h epicutaneous
- Test groups:
application of vehicle (conc. ethanol)
- Control group:
application of test substance in ethanol
- Site: right flank (for the 3% solution application site was changed from cranial to caudal due to severe irritation reactions cranial)
- Frequency of applications: daily on week days
- Duration: 26 days
- Concentrations: 0.005, 0.01 (Experiment II), 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3% (Experiment I)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 28 and 42
- Exposure period: 72 hours
- Test groups: epicutaneous challenge with 4 (experiment I), 2 (Experiment II) test substance concentrations (1. and 2. challenge)
- Control group: epicutaneous challenge with test substance (2. challenge all groups; 1. challenge one control group was challenged with ethanol)
- Site: left flank
- Concentrations: 0.005, 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 0.005, 0.01 (Experiment II), 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3% (Experiment I)
