Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted in 1997, which is prior to adoption in 2002 of the LLNA OECD TG 420. The study is submitted in the context of this REACH dossier as it provides key information non the non-sensitising classification of dinotefuran and remains adequate; this study was generated for product registration purposes in other countries.

Details on study design:
PRELIMINARY STUDY:
- A preliminary irritation study in which 2 groups of 4 guinea pigs were exposed by occluded topical application for 24 hours to dinotefuran at concentrations of 5, 10, 15 and 25% w/w in petrolatum, or intradermally at concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and 15% in aqueous carboxymethylcellulose. Dermal reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after treatment.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Concentration of test substance: 5% w/v
- Induction vehicle: 0.5% CMC/distilled water and FCA for the intradermal injection phase and as a 25% (w/w) mixture in petrolatum for the topical induction application and challenge phase of the definitive study.
- No. of doses administered: On day 1, the test group received 3 pairs of intradermal injections of 50% FCA in water, 5% w/v dinotefuran in aqueous carboxymethylcellulose and 10% w/v dinotefuran in aqueous carboxymethylcellulose diluted 1:1 with FCA (i.e 5% dinotefuran with FCA). The control group received similar injections but without dinotefuran. On day 7, the application sites of both groups of animals were treated topically with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate which was massaged into the skin. On day 8, the animals were treated topically, over the injection sites, under occlusive dressing for 48 hours with 25% w/w dinotefuran in petrolatum (treated group) or petrolatum alone (irritation control group).

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: Two weeks after day 8, both groups were challenged topically, under occlusive dressing for 24 hours, with 25% w/w dinotefuran in petrolatum (right side) and petrolatum alone (left side). The challenge sites were shaved and then scored for dermal reactions 24 and 48 hours after removal of the challenge dressings.

The substance was removed 24 hours after challenge.

GRADING SYSTEM USED: Performed according to the method of Magnusson & Kligman (Magnusson, B. and Kligman, A. (1970): Allergic Contact Dermatits in the Guinea Pig, Charles C. Thomas, pp. 113-117, 120).

No statistical analyses were employed.
Challenge controls:
20 irritation control animals (for dinotefuran): exposed to the test substance only at challenge.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
hexylcinnamaldehyde
Positive control results:
The positive control study was conducted within six months of the conduct of this study. The positive reaction of the challenge skin of all 10 positive control (hexylcinnamaldehyde) animals was observed, whereas all scores in the negative control group were zero. Therefore, hexylcinnamaldehyde was considered to be an extreme dermal sensitizer.

Preliminary study:

No dermal irritation occurred at any concentration of dinotefuran administered by topical application, up to 25% w/v. Therefore, all dermal reactions were scored as zero. In the 4 animals treated by intradermal injection, dinotefuran produced mild erythema (grade 1) at 1% w/v, mild-moderate diffuse erythema (grade 1 - 2) reactions at 5% w/v and moderate-marked erythema (grade 2 - 3) at 10 and 15% w/v (Table 7.4.1).

Main study:

There were no treatment-related clinical signs or adverse effects on body weight with the exception of one animal in the test group that appeared thin from day 20.

None of the test and control group animals exhibited a dermal response to the challenge application of the test or control articles either 24 or 48 hours after patch removal. Therefore, all dermal reaction scores were zero.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on a skin reaction incidence of 0 %, which is below the 30 % threshold of significance specified in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, dinotefuran is not a dermal sensitiser in the guinea pig, and no EU classification is required (category IV according to EPA classification criteria and not classified according to GHS criteria). Dinotefuran does not induce skin sensitisation at concentrations ≤ 25%.
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
other:
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Justification for classification or non-classification

For dinotefuran, oral LD50 values of 2804, 2000 and 2450 mg/kg are identified in rats for

males, females and for the sexes combined, respectively. Similar values were identified in

mice. In oral gavage rabbit developmental toxicity studies, clinical signs of toxicity were

observed on the first day of dosing at 300 mg/kg and above; the NOAEL for acute effects in

NZW rabbits is 125 mg/kg. The rat dermal LD50 value is estimated to be >2000 mg/kg and the

4 h inhalation LC50 value is estimated be > 4.09 mg/L in males and females. These data do

not support classification of dinotefuran for acute toxicity. Dinotefuran is not a skin, eye or

respiratory tract irritant nor a skin sensitiser.
