MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10 males and 10 females
- Control group: 5 males and 5 females were untreated for the three week induction period and served as the naive control.
- Site: Left shoulder area (site 1)
- Frequency of applications: once a week
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 100% (0.4 ml)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks following last induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10 males and 10 females
- Control group: 5 males and 5 females
- Site: Lower left dorsal area (site 3)
- Concentrations: 25%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours following patch removal.

OTHER: SCREEN (Site 2): Each animal received 4 concentrations of the test article, one/site. Each concentration (10, 25, 50 and 100%) under occlusive conditions. After 6 hours, the dams and test article were removed, the sites cleansed with distilled water and dried with soft towelling. Treated sites were examined and scored 24 and 48 hours following patch removal.

All the reactions were evaluated for Erythema:
Scoring code:
No erythema: 0
Very faint, usually non-confluent: 0.5
Faint, usually confluent: 1
Moderate 2
Strong, with or without edema: 3

All animals were observed once/day for mortality and toxicity.
Body weights were recorded pretest and at termination.

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

HCA

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

Testing with 85% hexylcinnamaldehyde are confirmed in the laboratory every 6 months. Data from the study conducted in summer 2009 included with results as expected.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Dermal observations: Induction: Erythema was absent to faint. Challenge: Erythema was absent to faint in the induced group and absent in the naive control group.

Body weights: Body weight changes were normal.

Systemic observations: In the treated group, one male and one female were observed with soiling of the anogenital area and one male was observed with soiling/wetness of the anogenital area. In the control group one male was observed with soiling of the anogenital area. All others appeared normal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

CLP criteria.

Conclusions:

MPKO was not a skin sensitizer under the conditions of this study.

Executive summary:

A skin sensitization study was performed with the test substance MPKO according to OECD Guideline 406. 15 male and 15 female Guinea pigs were used. In the first group, 10 animals per sex were induced with MPKO at 100% receiving 3 topical induction applications once a week for 3 weeks. Skin reactions were recorded after 24 and 48 patch removal. In the second group, the animals were not induced and served as a naive control. Based on preliminary screening results, 25% was chosen as the highest non-irritating concentration for the challenge and was administered to both groups two weeks after the third induction. The skin reactions were recorded at 24 and 48 hours following patch removal. After the induction, erythema was absent to faint. After the challenge, erythema was absent to faint in the induced group and absent in the naive control group. MPKO was determined to be non-sensitizer to the skin.
