PREPARATION OF ANIMALS
- Seventy albino guinea pigs of Dunkin-Hartley strain, supplied by ENVIGO (Kreuzelweg 53, 5961 NM HORST The Netherlands) and 3 or 4 weeks old at the beginning of the main test were used.
- Prior to the test, the animals were kept for a minimum acclimatisation period of 5 days, under housing and diet conditions identical to those of the test.
- Before the experimentation process, animals were identified individually by marking with picric acid and by means of a numbered ring on the edge of one ear.
- The animals were carefully shorn before each test item application:
(a) On the inter-scapular zone for the induction phase,
(b) On the dorso-lumbar zone for the challenge phase.
- At least 3 hours before the first reading (challenge phase) animals were shorn a second time in this dorsolumbar zone.
- The animals were weighed at the beginning of the study, before the second induction and at the end of the study.
ANIMAL WELFARE
- The animals were provided with suitable environmental enrichment (Tunnel).
- The study was designed and was conducted to cause the minimum of suffering or distress to the animals, according to the guidelines and to our internal animal welfare's procedure. In particular, in case of suffering, the animal could be euthaniSed after decision of the Study Director.
- At the end of the test, the animals were euthanized with sodium pentobarbital (Dolethal).

- PREPARATION OF TEST ITEM
- For the purpose of the study, the test item was prepared immediately prior to dosing in liquid paraffin for the topical applications (pretests). This vehicle was chosen as it produced the most suitable formulation at the required concentration.
- The preparation of the test item at 75% in liquid paraffin (w/w) was a brown thick solution and the preparation at 50% in liquid paraffin (w/w) was a brown solution.
PRELIMINARY STUDY – MAXIMUM NON-IRRITANT CONCENTRATION (MNIC) DETERMINATION
- This test was carried out with a reduced number of animals, for the purpose of determining the maximal non-irritating test item concentration to be used for the challenge phase. Furthermore, this test evaluates the irritant potential of the test item, and defines, if possible, a mild to moderate irritant concentration to be used for the topical induction phase.
- Two female and two male guinea pigs were treated with the test item placed onto the selected treatment sites and covered with an occlusive dressing (25 mm x 50 mm non-woven swab of 4-layer patch from MEDISTOCK held in contact with the skin by means of 50 mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M) for a period of 6 hours at 4 different concentrations: 100%, and diluted at 75 %, 50 % and 25 % in liquid paraffin.
- The animals treated at the concentrations of 100 %, and diluted at 75 %, 50 % and 25 % received 0.5 mL of the corresponding preparation.
- A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressings. The skin reaction was observed and recorded according to the grades described hereafter.

- The experimental procedure of this phase was identical for Group 1-bis (Naïve control) and Group 1-ter (Naïve control). On the previously shorn dorso-lumbar zone, an application was made on either side of the spine, under occlusive dressing (25 mm x 50 mm non-woven swab of 4-layer patch from MEDISTOCK held in contact with the skin by means of 50 mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M), was performed for 6 hours: one area containing 0.5 mL of liquid paraffin on each flank area.
SECOND CHALLENGE (DAY 35)
- The experimental procedure of this phase was identical for Group Ibis (Control) and Group 2 (test item treated). On the previously shorn dorso-lumbar zone, an application was made on either side of the spine, under occlusive dressing (25 mm x 50 mm non-woven swab of 4-layer patch from MEDISTOCK held in contact with the skin by means of 50 mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M), was performed for 6 hours: one area containing 0.5 mL of the test item diluted at 75 % (MNIC = maximal non-irritant concentration) on the left flank and one area containing 0.5 mL of liquid paraffin on the right flank.
- The experimental procedure of this phase was identical for Group 1 (Control) and Group 4 (HCA treated). On the previously shorn dorso-lumbar zone, an application was made on either side of the spine, under occlusive dressing (25 mm x 50 mm non-woven swab of 4-layer patch from MEDISTOCK held in contact with the skin by means of 50 mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M), was performed for 6 hours: one area containing 0.5 mL of HCA diluted at 50% (MNIC = maximal non-irritant concentration) on the left flank and one area containing 0.5 mL of liquid paraffin on the right flank.

MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATIONS AND EVALUATION OF CUTANEOUS REACTIONS
- A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions (erythema and oedema) was conducted and all the local or systemic reactions were recorded for animals of Group 1 (Control) and Group 2 (Treated):
(i) Approximately 24 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing, the cutaneous reactions were observed and graded according to the scale, given below.
(ii) Approximately 24 hours later (i.e. 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing), a second observation was made.
- The grading scale used was 0 = no visible change; 1 = discrete or patchy erythema; 2 = moderate and confluent erythema; 3 = intense erythema and swelling.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
- All animals with scores above or equal to 1 during the challenge phase, were considered positive.
- The percentage of animals that showed a sensitivity contact potential is calculated 24 and 48 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings.
- A comparison of the intensity and persistence of reactions at the test item challenge sites in the test and control animals permits identification of sensitisation reactions. If the test item at the maximum non-irritant concentration produces reactions in test group animals at the 24 or 48 -hour readings, these reactions are attributed to skin sensitisation. This pre-supposes that no similar reactions are observed in the test material challenge sites of any of the control group animals. If irritation is observed in the control group animals, only reactions in the test group animals that exceed the most severe reaction seen in the control group animals are attributed to skin sensitisation. The results are expressed in terms of incidence and severity of responses.
- Incidence Score: The number of test group animals showing skin reactions greater than the most
severe reaction observed in the control group animals, expressed as a fraction of the total number of test group animals.
- Severity Score: The sum of the values assigned to the skin responses at the test item challenge sites of the test and control group animals, at each evaluation, divided by the number of animals in the relevant group.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
- The experimental sensitising potential of the test item is established according to the attached scale.
- A response in at least 15% of animals is regarded as positive. - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- alpha Hexylcinnamaldehyde
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- - In the treated group with positive control, a slight to well defined erythema was noted in 50 % (5/10), 40 % (4/10) and 20 % (2/10) of the.animals, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the re-challenge phase, on the area challenged with alpha Hexylcinnamaldehyde at 50 %. These reactions were significant of a skin sensitising response and the study was considered valid.

GUIDELINE
The experimental protocol was established from the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline 406 dated July 17th1992, Method B.6 of the Council Regulation No. 440/2008 and US EPA OPPTS 870.2600 (March 2003).
METHODS
The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible allergenic activity of the test item after topical administration in guinea pigs. According the results of the pre-tests, the induction phase (3 topical applications at 100 %) under occlusive dressing was conducted with the test item to 20 Guinea pigs and a 13-day rest phase. The challenge phase conducted under occlusive dressing for 6 hours, consisted of a single topical application of the test item diluted at 75% in liquid paraffin and of a negative control (liquid paraffin). At the request of sponsor, a positive control group treated with a reference allergen alpha Hexylcinnamaldehyde was selected.
RESULTS
In the treated group with test item (treatment dose of 75%), no macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy were observed during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing. In the control group oftest item (associated with the treatment dose of 75%), no cutaneous intolerance reactions were observed during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing. No cutaneous reaction was recorded in animals from the treated and control groups after the challenge phase, on the treated area with liquid paraffin. In the treated group with positive control, no cutaneous reaction was noted on the area challenged with alpha Hexylcinnamaldehyde at 50%.
Due to the absence of reaction in the positive control group, a rechallenge was performed under the same experimental conditions after a rest phase of 7 days. In the treated group with test item (treatment dose of 75%), no macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy were observed during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing. In the control group of test item (associated with the treatment dose of 75 %), no cutaneous intolerance reactions were observed during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing. No cutaneous reaction was recorded in animals from the treated and control groups after the challenge phase, on the treated area with liquid paraffin. In the treated group with positive control, a slight to well defined erythema was noted in 50 % (5/10), 40 % ( 4/10) and 20 % (2/10) of the animals, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the rechallenge phase, on the area challenged with alpha Hexylcinnamaldehyde at 50%. These reactions were significant of a skin sensitising response and show the study to be valid.
CONCLUSION
The test item was determined to be non-sensitising under the conditions of the study.
