Induction of test and negative control groups
- Intradermal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant mixed with vehicle or test article elicited irritation.
- Slight erythema was observed in the test group on Day 3.
- No other skin reactions were observed following the induction with either vehicle or test article.
Challenge of test and negative control groups
Control group: Left posterior flank - HR 97/660539 (25 %)
- Slight or discrete erythema was observed in 1 animal at the examination after 48 h. Apart from that no other skin reactions were observed in any animal after 24 or 48 h.
Test group: Left anterior flank - HR 97/660539 (25 %)
- Slight or discrete erythema was observed in 8 animals at the examination after 24 h and in 2 animals after 48 h.
Test group: Left posterior flank - Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1
- No skin reactions were observed in any animal after 24 or 48 h.
Rechallenge of test and negative control groups
Control group: Right posterior flank - HR 97/660539 (12.5 %)
- No skin reactions were observed in any animal after 24 or 48 h.
Test group: Right anterior flank - HR 97/660539 (12.5 %)
- Slight or discrete erythema was observed in 7 animals at the examination after 24 h and in 2 animals after 48 h.
Test group: Right posterior flank - Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1
- Slight or discrete erythema was observed in 2 animals at the examination after 24 h and in one animal after 48 h.
- One animal died on Day 30. As necropsy showed no signs related to the study, this is not considered to affect the results of the study. Other animals showed no signs of ill health.
- Bodyweight gains of guinea pigs in the test group, between Days 1 and 24 and Days 1 and 32 were comparable to those observed in the control group animals over the same period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under these test conditions, test item HR 97/660539 is not classified as skin sensitiser according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and of the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP).
- Executive summary:
In a Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study (GPMT) performed according to OECD Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP, 20 female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were induced with three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL each) of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) emulsified 1:1 in sterile water, 10 % (w/w) test item, HR 97/660539 in sesame oil and 10 % (w/w) test article formulated in a 1:1 mixture (w/w) of FCA and sesame oil, on Day 1 on three different sites on each side of the mid-line on shoulder region. Control group of 10 females was intradermally induced with 0.1 mL each of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) emulsified 1:1 in sterile water, sesame oil, distilled water and FCA in the ratio 1:1 (w/w), on Day 1. On Day 8, the same area was topically induced with 50 % test article in Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1 via occluded filter paper patch for 48 h for the treated group. Control group was patched with filter paper saturated with Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1. On Day 21, challenge filter paper patch of 25 % (w/w) test article in Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1 or vehicle (Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1) was applied on the left anterior flank and left posterior flank, respectively. Challenge control group was applied with 25 % (w/w) test article in Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1 on the left posterior flank. On Day 29, a rechallenge filter paper patch of 12.5 % (w/w) test article in Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1 or vehicle (Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1) was applied on the right anterior flank and right posterior flank, respectively. Rechallenge control group was applied with 12.5 % (w/w) test article in Ethanol/diethyl phthalate 1:1 on the right posterior flank. The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a sighting study using two animals per exposure.
Slight or discrete erythema was observed at the rechallenge sites of test group animals at 24 and 48 h observations. Test substance HR 97/660539 produced a 0 % (0/19) sensitisation rate and was considered to be a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. Historical data on positive control, formaldehyde exhibited evidence of sensitisation.
Under these test conditions, test item HR 97/660539 is not classified as skin sensitiser according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and of the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP).
