Appearance and behaviour of the test substance group were not different from the control groups. No mortalities occurred. The body weight development of the treatment group animals corresponded to that of the control group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

To determine the skin-sensitizing properties of Desoxynojirimicin the guinea pig maximization test was performed on female guinea pigs according to OECD guideline 406. The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

intradermal induction: 5%

topical induction: 50%

challenge: 50% and 25%

Under the condition of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria Desoxynojirimicin exhibited no skin-sensitization potential.
