Any other information on results incl. tables

Appearance and behaviour of the test substance group were not different from the control groups. At the end of the study, the body weight development of the treatment group animals corresponded to that of the control group animals.

The incidence of skin reactions (number of animals exhibiting skin effects) following the challenge is summarized in the following table:

               Test substance group (10 animals)              Control group (5 animals)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

To determine the skin-sensitizing properties of methyl 3 -aminocrotonate the guinea pig maximization test was performed on female guinea pigs according to OECD guideline 406. The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

intradermal induction: 5%

topical induction: 12%

first and second challenge: 1%

Under the condition of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria methyl 3 -aminocrotonate exhibited no skin-sensitization potential.
