Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Two days after the primary irritation test (see chapter 7.3.1 Skin irritation/corrosion.weight_of_evidence.001), induction phase for sensitisation test was started. A series of four intradermal injections of 0.1ml of a 1% test substance solution in acetone/dimethyl phthalate (DMP) 1:9 was given to ten guinea pigs, one each week over three-week period. Following two-week rest period, the test animals were challenged for sensitization by applying 0.05ml of a 50% and 5% suspension of test material in acetone on shaved shoulder skin. At the same time a control group of 10 previously unexposed guinea pigs received similair applications to provide a direct comparison of the challenge reactions.
The skin at the challenge site was evaluated for irritation at 24 and 48 hours after application. Sensitization was defined as a significant score increase at challenge over the response expected from the same amount applied initially or on the concurrent controls. - GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of study:
- not specified
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- Non-GLP study that predates current guidelines and requirements.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- The potential sensitisation properties of titanium tetrabutanolate were tested using primary sensitization test on guinea pigs. Based on the study results test substance is considered as not skin sensitizer. No guideline was followed in this study.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was administrated 1% solution (vol/vol) in acetone/DMP 1:9 in a series of four sacral intradermal injections (10 animals). At the time of challenge 0.05ml 5% and 50% test substance (vol/vol) in acetone was applied and lightly rubbed to the shaved intact shoulder skin. A control group of 10 previously unexposed guinea pigs received similair applications at the same time to provide a direct comparison of the challenge reactions. At challenge no sensitization response was observed.
This study was regarded not reliable since the study report contains insufficient details on study methods and results.
This study does not satisfy the guideline requirements for the sensitization study, but the result is used as a weight of evidence in hazard assessment.
