Description of key information
An OECD 406 (Buehler test) skin irritation study was performed and showed no skin sensitisation potential.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Remarks:
- Buehler test
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2017-2018
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Qualifier:

- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Version / remarks:
- 1992
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of study:
- Buehler test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- According to OECD TG 429 the LLNA has several limitations. False positive findings for certain skin irritants may require the use of TG 406.
The test material was tested positive for an irritation potential under guideline OECD 439, 431 and may therefore cause a false positive finding in the LLNA.
Therefore, the Buehler test was chosen as a robust alternative for skin irritating substances compared to the LLNA. - Specific details on test material used for the study:

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE

- Control group: 1
- Site: skin of the left flank
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: cranial part of the right flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- The last positive control (PC) study with the reference material α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade, 85 %, was conducted from September 2017 to October 2017.
- Positive control results:
- In the positive control test group, 13 of 20 guinea pigs (65 %) reacted with positive skin reactions (erythema grade 1 to 2). One animal of the control group (1/10; 10 %) displayed also an erythema of grade 1 on the skin treated with the PC, but 5 of 20 animals (25 %) of the test group had more intense erythema of grade 2. Therefore, the sensitization potential of the positive reference material was sufficiently proved.

The dermal sensitizing potential of the test material was investigated by means of the Buehler test.
The main study was performed on 30 guinea pigs in total. A control group of 10 animals and a test group of 20 animals were applied.
The test concentration for the main study was the highest technically achievable homogenous formulation; it was found not cause excessive irritation.
The main study started with an induction phase including an occlusive patch topical application for 6 hours once a week for three consecutive weeks. The animals of the test group were induced with the 30 % (w/w) test material, whereas the animals of the control group were induced with the vehicle distilled water. During the induction phase all animals of both the test group and the control group were free of any reactions.
The low incidence of positive skin reactions (5 %) during challenge of the test group compared to the reaction-free control group did not supply sufficient evidences for delayed contact sensitization in the guinea pig.
Based on the results of this Buehler test, the test material, was not sensitizing to the skin.
