One female animal of the test group was found dead on day 2. The animal had possibly died from stress (due to the bandage) during the first induction.

After the first challenge and the rechallenge 1 or 2 of a total of 9 animals showed very slight to slight reddenings on the treated area only 24 hours after the end of challenge. Very slight to slight reddenings each occurred in 3 control animals (first challenge 3/10, rechallenge 3/6).

Executive summary:

In a modified guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) according to OECD TG 406 no skin sensitizing potential of the test substance could be observed based on the results after the first challenge and the rechallenge with 25 % ZK 9340.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In a guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) according to OECD TG 406 the test substance ZK 9340 (M-DOC) revealed an ambiguous result after an intradermal induction concentration of 1.25 % ZK 9340 followed by a topical induction concentration of 25 % (Schöbel, 1996a). Based on this study it is not possible to come to any clear conclusion as to whether ZK 9340 possesses a sensitizing effect in the guinea-pig.

In a modified guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) according to OECD TG 406 no skin sensitizing potential of the test substance ZK 9340 (M-DOC) could be observed based on the results after the first challenge and the rechallenge with 25 % ZK 9340 (Schöbel, 1996b). In this test the animals were topically induced with a concentration of 25 % test substance.

Therefore, regarding the results of the previous study (Schöbel, 1996a) and the present study (Schöbel, 1996b) ZK 9340 was proved to have no sensitizing effect in the guinea-pig using the maximization test as weil as the modified maximization test with higher concentrations for induction.

Under consideration of the molecular structure similarity of M-DOC and M-DOCA the results on skin sensitisation of M-DOC has been accepted for M-DOCA (read-across approach).


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Guinea pig maximation test: not sensitising [Schöbel 1996b]

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
First GPMT (Schöbel, 1996a) revealed an ambiguous result since intradermal induction concentration of 1.25 % was to low.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results a classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is not required.
