Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test article was not sensitizing (0% responding) in the Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT)
Executive summary:

The dermal sensitization potential of the test article (off white solid, Lot 3) was evaluated in the Maximization Testusing female Dunkin Hartley albino guinea pigs. This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP.The study designwas based on OECD 406 (1992), Commission Directive 96/54/EC An IV B.6 (1996), US EPA OPPTS 870.2600 (1998), and Magnusson and Kligman (1970).The test article was prepared in propylene glycol (vehicle) just prior to each dosing procedure.A pre-test rangefinder determined the appropriate doses for theintradermal and epidermal inductions and for the challenge phase.The test group (10 animals) received intradermal induction injections of 0.1 ml/site of a 1:1mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA):water for injection, 20% test article in vehicle, and 1:1 mixture of 40% test article and FCA.A control group (5animals) received the same induction treatment with the exclusion of test article.The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with50% test article (test group) or vehicle only (control group) one week after the intradermal induction.Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and testanimals were challenged by epidermal application of 10% test article and vehicle under occlusive dressing.Skin reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours afterremoval of the dressing. A positive control (alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde) is tested by this contract lab approximately every 6 months and the most recent testconfirmed the validity of the experimental technique. No erythema or edema was observed at any site in either the control or test article group (0%responders). The test article was not sensitizing (0% responding) in the Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT).
