Number: . two males and two females for the preliminary test
. 30 animals ( 1 S males and 15 females) for the main test.
Females were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
Allocation of the animals to the groups: on day -1, the animals were weighed and randomly allocated to two groups: a control group 1 consisting of ten animals (five males and five females} and a treated group 2 consisting of 20 animals (ten males and ten females).
Weight: on day 1, the animals of the main test were approximately 3 months old and had a mean body weight ± standard deviation of 377 ± 17 g for the males and 366 ± 21 g for the females.
Acclimatization: at least 5 days before the beginning of the study.
Identification of the animals: ear-tattoo.
Environmental conditions
The conditions in the animal room were set as follows:
temperature: 21 ± 2°C
relative humidity: 30 to 70%
light/dark cycle: 12 h/12 h
ventilation: approximately 12 cycles/hour of filtered, non-recycled air
The temperature and relative humidity were under continuous control and recording. The records were checked daily and retained. In addition to these daily checks, the housing conditions and corresponding instrumentation and equipment are verified and calibrated at regular intervals.
During the acclimatization period and throughout the study, the animals were housed individually in polycarbonate cages ( 48 cm x 27 cm x 20 cm) equipped with a polypropylene bottle.
Dust-free sawdust was provided as litter (SICSA, 92142 Alfortville, France).
Bacteriological analysis of the sawdust, including the detection of possible contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals), are perfonned regularly by external laboratories.
Food and water
During the study, the animals had free access to "106 pelleted diet" (UAR, 91360 Villemoissonsur-Orge, France).
Food is analysed regularly by the supplier for composition and contaminant levels.
Drinking water filtered by a FG MilJipore membrane (0.22 micron) was provided ad libitum. Bacteriological and chemical analysis of the water and diet, including the detection of possible contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals and nitrosamines), are performed regularly by external laboratories.
No contaminants are known to be present in the diet, drinking water or bedding material at levels which may be expected to interfere with or prejudice the outcome of the study.

- Preliminary test
A preliminary test was conducted in order to determine the concentrations to be tested in the main study.
By intradennal route:
- 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal region of the animals was clipped,
- intradermal administrations of the test substance formulation (0.1 ml) at different concentrations were performed in the interscapular region,
- cutaneous reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
By cutaneous route:
- 24 hours before treatment, both flank regions of the animals were clipped,
- 0.5 ml of the undiluted test substance or test substance formulation at the chosen concentration were placed on a dry gauze pad (approximately 4 cm2) which was then applied to the skin and held in place by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
- cutaneous reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
Criteria for selection of concentrations
The following criteria were used:
- the concentrations should be well-tolerated systemically and locally,
- intradennal injections should cause moderate irritant effects (no necrosis or ulceration of the skin),
- cutaneous application for the induction should cause at most weak or moderate skin reactions or be the maximal practicable concentration,
- cutaneous application for the challenge phase should be the highest concentration which does not cause irritant effects.
Main study
Preparation of the animals
For all animals and before each treatment, the application sites were:
- clipped on days 1 and 7 (interscapular region 4 cm x 2 cm),
- clipped and shaved on day 21 (each flank 2 cm x 2 cm).
Induction phase by intradermal and cutaneous routes
Intradermal route
On day 1, six injections were made deep into the dermis of a 4 cm x 2 cm clipped interscapular area, using a needle (diameter: 0.50 x 16 mm) mounted on a 1 ml glass syringe (0.01 ml graduations).
Details on these injections can be found in the table in section 'any othe information on materials and methods'
The anterior and middle pairs of injections were performed close to each other and nearest the head, while the posterior pair was perfo nned towards the caudal part of the test area.
Cutaneous route
On day 7, the interscapular area was clipped.
As the test substance was shown to be non-irritant during the preliminary test, the animals were treated with 0.5 ml of sodium lauzyl sulfate (10%, w/w) in vaseline in order to induce local irritation.
On day 8, a cutaneous application to the region of the intradermal injections (4 cm x 2 cm) was performed as follows:
Control group: application of 0.5 ml of the vehicle.
Treated group: application of 0.5 ml of the undiluted test substance.
The test substance or the vehicle was placed on a dry gauze pad, which was then applied to the interscapular region.
The pad was held in place for 48 hours by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed.
Cutaneous reactions were recorded 1 hour after removal of the occlusive dressing.
Challenge phase
On day 22, the animals of both groups received an application of 0.5 ml of the test substance at the concentration of 50% (w/w) to the posterior right flank, and 0.5 ml of the vehicle to the posterior left flank. This application was performed using a 1 ml plastic syringe (0.01 ml graduations). The test substance or the vehicle was placed on a dry gauze pad, which was then applied to a 4 cm2 (2.cm x 2 cm) clipped area of the skin.
The pads were held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by means of an occlusive, hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed. - Challenge controls:
- The control group was treated with the same induction phase but with vehicle instead of test substance
- Positive control substance(s):
- no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance LUPEROX 220 M 50 (batch No. 512-9800-001 (MXL)) does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test substance LUPEROX 220 M 50 (batch No. 512-9800-001 (MXL)) to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity was evaluated in guinea-pigs according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman and to OECD (No. 406, 17th July 1992) and EC (92/69/EEC, B.6, 31st July 1992) guidelines.
The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.
Methods
Thirty guinea-pigs were allocated to two groups: a control group 1 (five males and five females) and a treated group 2 (ten males and ten females).
On day 1, intradennal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant mixed with the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) were perfonned in the interscapular region.
On day 7, the same region received a topical application of sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline (10%, w/w) in order to induce local irritation.
On day 8, the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) was applied to the same test site which was then covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
On day 22, after a rest period of 12 days, all animals of the treated and control groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test substance to the right flank. The left flank served as control and received the vehicle only. Test substance and vehicle were maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
Test substance concentrations were as follows:
Induction (treated group)
- intradennal injections: LUPEROX 220 M 50 at the concentration of 25% (w/w) in corn oil,
- topical application: LUPEROX 220 M 50 undiluted.
Challenge (all groups)
- topical application: LUPEROX 220 M 50 at the concentration of 50% (w/w) in com oil.
At the end of the study, animals were killed without examination of internal organs.
No skin samples were taken from the challenge application sites.
The sensitivity of the guinea-pigs in CIT experimental conditions was checked with positive sensitizers 2,4-Dinitro Chlorobenzene (DNCB) and Mercaptobenzothiazole.
During the induction period, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentrations of 0.1 % (w/w) (day 1) and 1 % (w/w) (day 8). The reference substance Mercaptobenzothiazole was
applied at the concentrations of 1 % (w/w) (day 1) and 20% (w/w) (day 8).
For the challenge application, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentration of 1 % (w/w). The reference substance Mercaptobenzothiazole was applied at the concentration of 20% (w/w).
Results
No clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study.
No cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application.
The species and strain which were used showed a satisfactory sensitization response in 90% animals treated with DNCB and in 30% animals treated with Mercaptobenzothiazole.
Conclusion
Under our experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance LUPEROX 220 M 50 (batch No. 512-9800-001 (MXL)) does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.
