RANGE FINDING TESTS:
2 x 2 cm filter paper strips soaked in the test substance formulation (about 0.15 g) were applied to the skin of the flanks under an occlusive dressing. The test substance was applied 2 times for 24 h within a period of 96 hours in order to detect non-specific phenomena that are not caused by a sensitisation reaction but could possibly be attributed to a shift in the irritation threshold.
- Site of application: flank
- No. of animals: 4 per test concentration
- Readings: about 24 and 48 h after the beginning of application
- Evaluation: according to the Draize Scoring System

MAIN STUDY

A. 1) INDUCTION EXPOSURE (intradermal)
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal
- Test group (10 animals): front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1:1; middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of the test substance formulation; back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant/0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1:1) with test substance
- Control groups (5 animals per group): The animals were given the same injections but without test subtsance, only with the formulating agent
- Site: shoulder
- Readings: 24 h after the beginning of application
- Evaluation: according to the Draize Scoring System

2) INDUCTION EXPOSURE (percutaneous)
- No. of exposures: 1 percutaneous exposure 1 week after intradermal induction
- Amount applied: 2 x 4 cm filter paper strips soaked in the test substance formulation (about 0.3 g) were applied to the skin of the shoulder under an occlusive dressing
- Exposure period: percutaneous exposure: 48 h
- Control groups: no treatment
- Site of application: shoulder, same area as intradermal application
- Readings: 24 h after the beginning of application
- Evaluation: according to the Draize Scoring System

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single percutaneous exposure
- Duration of exposure: 24 h
- Day of challenge: 21 days after intradermal induction
- Site: intact flank
- Concentrations: non-irritant concentration (2 x 2 cm filter paper strips soaked with about 0.15 g of the test substance formulation)
- Control groups: control group 1 treated like test group; control group 2 remained untreated
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch
- Site of application: intact flank
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Performed in a separate study twice a year in the laboratory with alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The intradermal induction with 0.1% test substance preparations caused well-defined erythema and slight edema were observed at the injection sites of the control group animals and test group animals. The control group animals which were treated with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution did not show any skin reactions.

After the percutaneous induction with a 1% test substance preparation incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to well-defined erythema and slight edema in all test group animals.

After the challenge with a 0.5 % test substance preparation the animals of control group and the test group, animals did not show any skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches.
