Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: yes
- test substance was applied to clipped flank; if irritation was observed dilutions were prepared
- The highest concentration which did not cause primary irritation was used for the guinea pig sensitization test


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 4
- Test groups: 10 animals
- Site: clipped and depilated back of animals
- Frequency of applications: 4 times in 10 days
- Concentrations: no data
- Additions: at the time of the third application, 0 .2 ml of Freund's Adjuvant was injected intradermally at one point adjacent to the insult site


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) after induction: 2 weeks
- Control: solvent control on other flank of the same animal; 10 animal for positive control
- Site: clipped flank
- Concentration: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 h


Evaluation:
- A moderate erythema and/or edema in two or more guinea pigs was considered sufficient to classify the test material as a potential human skin sensitizer .

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

No skin sensitisation data are available for but-3 -yn-ol, which induces high acute toxicity after oral, inhalation and dermal application (UN GHS Cat. 2). Therefore, a read-across to a structurally similar substance was regarded to be appropriate.

To assess sensitization to skin, a Modified Split Adjuvant Test with 3 -methylbut-3 -yn-2 -ol was taken into account (Rao, 1981). In this test, ten male Hartley Guinea pigs received four applications as induction to the clipped and depilated back of the animals. At the time of the third application, 0.2 ml of Freund's Adjuvant was injected intradermal at one point adjacent to the insult site. After a two week rest period, the animals received an application of pure 2-methylbut-3-yn-2-ol and reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours thereafter. As result, no sensitizing reactions could be observed.
