Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 09 May 1984 - 29 May 1984
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- The study report did not cite any specific test guideline, and the claim of GLP compliance does not refer to a particular GLP standard (such as the OECD guidelines for GLP, etc.), however the methodology used is consistent with one of the methods noted in OECD test guideline 406, and the study report is well detailed. The study was concluded to be essentially reliable.

- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Various concentrations of test material in ethanol were applied topically or injected into groups of female guinea pigs which had been pre-treated with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA). SKin reactions to the topical and intradermal applications were assessed.
Concentrations for the main test were determined as follows;
Intradermal injection - the maximum concentration resulting in reaction at or below the severity defined as acceptable.
Topical induction - the maximum concentration giving a slight irritant response (pre-treatment with sodium lauryl sulphate s required when no irritancy is produced by the neat material)
First challenge - the highest level corresponding to the maximum concentration giving no irritant response on topical application and mid and low level doses of test material at lower concentrations.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (Intradermal then topical)
- Exposure period: Intradermal injection, then 48-hour topical exposure, 7 days after the intradermal induction.
- Test groups: Single 0.1 mL intradermal injections of the following: 50:50 FCA in water; 100% test substance; 25% test substance in 50:50 FCA in water. 0.25 mL test substance used in topical induction.
- Control group: Single 0.1 mL injection of 50:50 FCA in water. An untreated patch was held in place over the injection sites during the topical induction phase of the test.
- Site: Scapula.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: Single
- Day(s) of challenge: One challenge, 14 days after the appliaction of the topical induction patches.
- Exposure period: Patches were applied for 24 hours, followed by observations at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches.
- Test groups: 3 patches applied to the backs of each animals. Patches were saturated wth 0.03 mL of test material solution - 100%, 50%, and 25% in ethanol.
- Control group: Challenge procedure was the same for the control group as for the test group.
- Site: Back.
- Concentrations: As described in "Test groups"
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches.

Fluctuations in the temperature of the animal room were recorded during the study (18°C - 25°C); these were not considered to have influenced the outcome.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- No reactions were recorded following challenge at concentrations up to 100%. Since the result was so unequivocal, no further challenge was deemed neccesary. The material is concluded to have no allergenic potential in the guinea pig.
