- RANGE FINDING TESTS: The intradermal and topical irritancy of a range of dilutions of the test substance was investigated to identify irritant concentrations suitable for the induction phase of the main study and non-irritant concentrations by the topical route for the challenge phase. A concentration of 0.5% was chosen for the intradermal injection as necrosis occurred at the injection site at all higher concentrations. There was no significant irritation at any concentration tested by the topical route. The maximum concentration chosen for topical application was 80% because this concentration of the test substance was the highest that could be prepared within acetone.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- The study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability). The test substance did not produce any contact sensitivity during the observation in any test organism.
- Executive summary:
The study assessed the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance. Twenty female guinea-pigs were given induction doses by intradermal injection of 0.5%w/w in 5% acetone in Alembicol D and 0.5% w/w in a 50:50 mixture of Freund's complete adjuvant and 5% acetone in Alembicol D. Test organisms were also given an injection of Freund's complete adjuvant diluted with equal volume of water into the same area at the same time. The area was clipped and shaved one week after exposure. Topical application of 80% w/w test substance in acetone was placed on the same area under a semiocclusive dressing for 48 hours. Two weeks later, the test organisms were challenged topically using 80% and 40% concentrations of test substance in acetone. The test substance was left in place for 24 hours. Challenge sites were evaluated at 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal. A vehicle control group of 10 female guinea-pigs was given the same treatments with acetone vehicle.
Reactions were scored on a scale from 0 to 4 for erythema, eschar formation and oedema formation. All test sites were scored 0 for both the test and control animals. The test substance did not produce evidence of contact hypersensitivity.
