Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No sensitization was observed in guinea pigs.
- Executive summary:
Skin sensitivity of inositol was examined in guinea pigs in accordance with the Guinea Pig Maximization Test. The animals were allocated as follows; 8 animals for the preliminary study, 10 for the sensitization group and 5 for the control group, 23 animals in total.
For sensitization, a: an equal volume emulsion of Freund's complete adjuvant (hereinafter abbreviated as FCA) and physiological saline, b: 10% solution (vehicle: physiological saline), and c: an equal volume emulsion of 20% solution (vehicle: physiological saline) and FCA were administered intracutaneously and 60% solution (vehicle: distilled water) was applied in a closed patch for 48 hours on the intracutaneous injection site on Day 7 of sensitization (treated with Sodium lauryl sulfate on Day 6). The control animals were treated similarly using the distilled water for injection instead of test substance. The animals were challenged on Day 21 after initiation of sensitization by applying 24-hour closed patch of the pure drug substance (white powder) or the 60% or 30% solution of the test substance (vehicle: distilled water) on the lateral abdomen. Skin reactions were observed at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patch.
Abnormality was absent in either the sensitization group or control group during the study period. No skin reaction was observed with any dosing sample in either the sensitization group or control group. Based on the above results, the test substance was judged to be non-sensitizing to the skin under the condition of this test.
