Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
Skin sensitization study of test chemical was performed in guinea pig by Magnusson and Kligman method was found to be not skin sensitizing.
Executive summary:

In skin sensitization study of test chemical was performed by Magnusson and Kligman method in Dunkin Hartley guinea pig. In test group 20 animals were as in negative control 10 animals were used. In induction phase,1stapplication by intradermal injections of 0.1ml Freund’s complete adjuvant in water, test material 1% w/v in arachis oil, and Freund’s + test material 1% w/v in arachis oil (1:1) was given at 3 different site. The 2ndinduction application given after 1 week as a single occlusive patch of0.2-0.3ml of test material 50% w/w in arachis oil for 48hr .The challenge was given on 21 day after 1stinduction application with concentration 0.1-0.2ml of test material 25 and 10w/w in arachis oil. No reaction were observed in any animals, hence it is considered that the test chemical was not skin sensitizing in guinea pig.
