Any other information on results incl. tables

Local effects:
- 24 hours after intracutaneous applications, animals mainly from the test substance treated group displayed poorly healing necrotic inflammations.


- After the induction patch treatment for 48 hours, the animals treated with the test substance had bleeding and matter discharging inflammations at the places of injections leading to thick crusts.


- In general after removal of the patch, severe inflammation and itching were observed, causing particularly the animals treated with test substance to scratch their skins open in the area of injection.


- after challenge scale formation and desiccation of skin was observed during the observation period on some animals

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Isophorone diamine has to be considered to be sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs under the conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing properties of isophorone diamine were determined in a guinea pig maximation test according to OECD TG 406 (positive controls not required by 1981 guideline version). Twenty male guinea pigs were intradermally injected with isophorone diamine at 0.1 % in 10% ethanol and one week later epidermally exposed to a 7.5 % concentration of test substance for 48 hours (occlusive). Ten control animals were similary treated, but with vehicle alone. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challegend with 2.5 % and 5 % test substance and with vehicle (24 hours occlusive). At challenge concentration of 2.5 % 7/20 animals showed a sensitization 24 hours after the patch test, 5/20 animals 48 hours after the test and 2/20 72 hours after the test. At challenge concentration 5 % 18/20 animals showed a sensitization 24 hours after the patch test, 15/20 animals 48 hours after the patch test and still 10/20 72 hours after the test. No animal of the control group showed any positive reaction. Therefore, Isophorone diamine has to be considered to be sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs under the conditions of the study.
