Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Reference
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1989-02-14 to 1989-03-10
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study with acceptable restrictions: No positive control (not required by 1981 version of Test Guideline)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A skin sensitization test according to OECD 406 has already excisted since 1989 and is sufficient for evaluation of the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance.

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: no skin irritation at 50 %
RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: 
  0/20 animals positive at 24 and 48 hours = no sensitization
  no animals positive in control group
- Clinical signs: 
  1st induction, FCA application sites: severe erythema and edema,  necroses
  1st induction, test substance + vehicle application sites: slight  erythema and edema
  1st induction, vehicle application sites: slight erythema
  2nd induction, test and control group: severe erythema of the whole  shoulder region; inflammation of the FCA injection sites, 

in part with  pus discharge and/or bleeding from scratching; eschar formation within 24  hours
- Other: Mean body weight gain 121 g in test group, 122 g in control  group = expected range

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study dodecanedioic acid is not a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In the Guinea pig maximization test performed within this study, after intradermal and epicutaneous inductions with the test substance dodecanedioic acid none of the 20 guinea pigs showed positive response 24 hours (48 hours) after epicutaneous challenge. Under the conditions of the study dodecanedioic acid is not a skin sensitizer.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In a guinea pig maximisation test according to Magnusson-Kligman there was no indication for a skin sensitising potential.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

There was no indication for a sensitising potential in a maximisation test according to Magnusson and Kligman.
