Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for fatty alcohols. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Challenge
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:

Concentration / amount:
intradermal induction: 0.1%
epicutaneous induction: 5%
epicutaneous challenge: 2.5%
No. of animals per dose:
20 in test group; 10 in control group
Details on study design:
Sensitization potential in guinea pigs was evaluated using the Magnusson and Kligman method, which involves injection of 2x0.1 ml Freund's complete adjuvant, intradermal induction with 2x0.1 ml test material in corn oil (0.1%) and 2x0.1 ml test material in 50:50 Freund's complete adjuvant/solvent (0.1%), then epicutaneous induction with 5% in corn oil and epicutaneous challenge with 2.5% in corn oil.

RANGE FINDING TESTS: A preliminary screen used groups of 2 male and 2 female guinea pigs to determine concentrations of test material to be used for intradermal and topical inductions, and topical challenge. No details were given.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a reliable study performed using a protocol similar to OECD guideline 406, Dobanol 25 was not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs after a topical challenge with 2.5% when tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman.
