- RANGE FINDING PRETEST
A group of animals was used to determine the highest non-irritating concentration (HNIC) of the test substance to establish the challenge dose. The fur was removed by clipping (Oster model #A5-small) the dorsal area and flanks of each guinea pig. This area was divided into four test sites (two sites on each side of the midline) on each animal. The test substance was applied neat (100%) and also diluted with mineral oil to yield concentrations of 75%, 50% and 25% w/w. Each concentration was applied to a test site using an occlusive 25 mm Hilltop Chamber. The sites were wrapped with non-allergenic Durapore adhesive tape. After 6 hours of exposure, the chambers were removed and the test sites were cleaned. Approximately 24 hours after application, each site was evaluated for local reactions (erythema). Based on the observed results, a concentration of 75% was defined as HINC used for challenge (in 4 guinea pigs, 2/4 animals showed local skin reactions scored with 0.5 and the remaining animals were free of local effects (score 0)).
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 h (after every exposure period the test sites were cleaned of residual test substance).
- Test groups: 20 animals, treated with test item
- Site: left side
- Frequency of applications: Once each week for three weeks.
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 100%
- Pretreatment: On the day before initiation, the fur of a group of animals was removed by clipping the dorsal area and flanks.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 27 days after the first induction dose
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 20 animals, treated with test item
- Control group: 10, treated with test item
- Site: naive site on the right side
- Concentrations: 75%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h - Challenge controls:
- In addition to the test animals, 10 guinea pigs from the same shipment were maintained under identical environmental conditions and were treated with the HNIC of the test substance at challenge only. These animals constituted the "naive" group.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade (85% active ingredient)
Results and discussion

After challenge with the test substance, the sensitisation rate at 24 h and 48 h was 0%.
No deaths occurred. No significant difference in body weight gain was observed between treated and control group.
Regarding the historical positive controls, the sensitisation rate at 24 h was 30% and at 48 h 10%. This result validates the test system used in this study.
