Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Basic Violet 2 was assessed for its skin sensitizing potential by Buehler test on Dunkin-Hartley guinea pig The test group consisted of 20 female Guinea pigs, two control groups of ten female Guinea pigs each. During the induction phase, the test group was treated with the test substance in sterile water at 75% at the left flank. The negative control groups were treated with the vehicle (sterile water) in the same manner. The gauze patches with test substance or vehicle under occlusive dressing were removed after 6 hours. Approximately 24 hours after removal of the patches, skin reactions were scored. These procedures were repeated at weekly intervals (days 8/9 and 15/16 of the study). On study day 29, sensitisation reactions were challenged in the test as well as in one negative control group by topical administration of the test substance in sterile water (50% on one side and vehicle alone on the contralateral flank) under occlusive dressing for 6 hours.

Twenty-four and 48 hours after removal of the patches the skin reactions were scored. Following the 48 hour examination at challenge, skin fold thickness of the treated sites was measured using a digital micrometer. Body weights were recorded on days 1 and 31 (termination of the study). Body weights were not affected by the test compound.

Basic Violet 2 was considered skin non sensitizing  when tested on Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs.
