By intradermal route:
. 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal region of the animals was clipped,
. intradermal administrations of the test substance formulation (0.1 mL) at different concentrations were performed in the interscapular region,
. cutaneous reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
By cutaneous route:
. 24 hours before treatment, both flank regions of the animals were clipped,
. a volume of 0.5 ml of the test substance formulation at the chosen concentrations was placed on a dry gauze pad (approximately 4 cm2) which was then applied to the skin and held in place by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours,
. cutaneous reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
Criteria for selection of concentrations
The following criteria were used:
. the concentrations should be well-tolerated systemically and locally,
. intradermal injections should cause moderate irritant effects (no necrosis or ulceration of the skin),
. cutaneous application for the induction should cause at most weak or moderate skin reactions or be the maximal practicable concentration,
. cutaneous application for the challenge phase should be the highest concentration which does not cause irritant effects.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal route:
On day 1, six injections were made deep into the dermis of a 4 cm x 2 cm clipped interscapular area, using a needle (diameter: 0.5 x 16 mm) mounted on a 1 mL plastic syringe (0.01 mL graduations).
Three injections of 0.1 ml were made into each side of this interscapular region as follows:
Anterior: FCA diluted at 50 % (v/V= with 0.9 % NaCl and the same in the control group
Middle: test substance at 5 % (w/w) in corn oil. In the control groul only vehicle
posterior: test substance at 5 % (w/w) in a mixture FCA /0.9 % NaCl 50/50 (v/v). The same in the control group but with vehicle instead of test substance.
The anterior and middle pairs of injections were performed close to each other and nearest the head, while the posterior pair was performed towards the caudal part of the test area.
Cutaneous route:
On day 7, the intrascapular area was clipped.
As the test substance was shown to be non-irritant during the preliminary test, the animals were treated with 0.5 mL of sodium lauryl sulphate (10%, w/w) in vaseline on order to induce local irritation.
On day 8, a cutaneous application to the region of the intradermal injections (4 cm x 2 cm) was performed as follows:
Control group: application of 0.5 mL of the vehicle.
Treated group: application of 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance.
The test substance or the vehicle was placed on a dry gauze pad, which was then applied to the interscapular region.
The pad was held in place for 48 hours by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive an allergenic waterproof plaster.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed.
Cutaneous reactions were recorded 1 hour after removal of the occlusive dressing.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
First challenge applivation: on day 22, the animals of both groups received an application of 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance to the posterior right flank and 0.5 mL of the vehicle to the posterior left flank. This application was performed using a 1 mL plastic syringe (0.01 mL) graduations). The test substance or the vehicle was placed on a dry gauze pad, which was then applied to 4 cm² (2 cm x 2 cm) clipped area of the skin.
The pads were held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by means of an occlusive, hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive an allergenic waterproof plaster.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed.
Second challenge application: on day 32, the animals of both groups received an application of 0.5 ml of the test substance at the concentration of 2 % (w/w) to the posterior left flank and 0.5 mL of the vehicle to the posterior right flank, under the same experimental conditions as for the first challenge application.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed. - Challenge controls:

- Executive summary:
The test substance was evaluated in guinea-pigs according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman and to OECD No. 406, and EC Method B.6 guidelines. Thirty guinea-pigs were allocated to two groups: a control group 1 (five males and five females) and a treated group 2 (ten males and ten females).
On day 1, intradermal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant mixed with the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) were performed in the interscapular region. On day 7, the same region received a topical application of sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline (10%, w/w) in order to induce local irritation. On day 8, the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) was applied to the same test site which was then covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. On day 22, after a rest period of 12 days, all animals of the treated and control groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test substance to the right flank. The left flank served as control and received the vehicle only. Test substance and vehicle were maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
As equivocal cutaneous reactions were noted, a second challenge application was performed under the same experimental conditions after a rest period of 9 days, except that the test substance and the vehicle were applied to the left and right flanks, respectively.
Test substance concentrations were as follows:
Induction (treated group)
- intradermal injections: test substance at concentration of 5 % (w/w) in corn oil
- topical application: test substance at concentration of 25 % (w/w) in corn oil.
First challenge (all groups)
- topical application: test substance at a concentration of 10 % (w/w) in corn oil.
Second challenge (all groups)
- topical application: test substance at a concentration of 2 % (w/w) in corn oil
Skin samples were taken from the challenge application sites of all the animals. No histological examination was performed.
The sensitivity of the guinea-pigs was checked with a positive sensitizer, 2,4-Dinitro Chlorobenzene (DNCB). During the induction period, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentrations of 0.1% (w/w) (day 1) and 1% (w/w) (day 8) in com oil. For the challenge application, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentration of 1 % (w/w) in corn oil.
Results
After the first challenge application, a very slight or well-defined erythema was noted in 5/10 animals of the control group and a very slight, well-defined or moderate erythema, sometimes together with dryness of the skin, was observed in 19/20 animals of the treated group.
After the second challenge application, a very slight or well-defined erythema was noted in all animals of both groups at the 24-hour reading; these cutaneous reactions, sometimes together with dryness of the skin, persisted in a few animals of both groups at the 48-hour reading.
As the observed cutaneous reactions were of similar intensity, incidence and duration in the animals of the control and treated groups, and as the preliminary assays showed that the test substance is a slight irritant, these cutaneous reactions were most probably attributable to the irritant properties of the test substance (not subject of classification) and not to delayed contact hypersensitivity.
The species and strain which were used showed a satisfactory sensitization response in 90% animals treated with DNCB.
Conclusion
Under the experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance is not a skin sensitizer.
