Summary
Skin sensitization of Phenothiazin D Prills was performed in female guinea pigs according to the method of Magnusson & Kligman.
Intradermal induction was performed using 5% Phenothiazin D Prills in sesame oil. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 25% Phenothiazin D Prills in sesame oil.
The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using Alpha-hexylcinnamaledhyde for the maximization test (report number PT03 -0397, dated 23 -Feb-2004; Aventis Pharma Deutschland GmbH, ProTox).
Based on the results of this study Phenothiazin D Prills may cause sensitization by skin contact according to the classification criteria of Directive 2001/59/EC, and ECETOC-Monograph No. 29 (Brussels, Sept. 2000).
Reference
Results: Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections
- Intradermal injections with the 5.0% preparation caused slight erythema and edema.
- Based on this preliminary test, a 5% preparation was selected for the intradermal injections in the main test.
Results: Determination of the primary non-irritating concentration
- No signs of irritation occurred after administration of the different test concentrations.
- Based on these results, a concentration of 25% Phenothiazin D Prills in sesame oil was chosen for the challenge at day 22.
Intradermal induction treatment
The administration sited treated without test substance showed severe erythema and edema. Intradermal injections with Freund's Adjuvant (with test substance) caused severe erythema and edema as well as encrustations. The administration sites treated with the test substance in sesame oil showed slight erythema and edema. Intradermal injections of the vehicle alone exhibited no signs of irritation.
Due to these strong irritation reactions of the skin, 10% sodium dodecylsulfate was not administered at day 7.
Dermal induction treatment
After removal of the patches at day 10, severe erythema and edema, indurated, scabbed and encrusted skin as well as necrosis were observed at the site previously treated with Freund's Adjuvant. The administration sites treated with the test substance or the vehicle alone showed no signs of irritation.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
- Additional information:
One study on skin sensitisation according to OECD 406 (Magnusson & Kligman) was available. As a result weak skin sensitising properties of phenothiazine were found. However, there is no dose-response information available from the present study. Based on ECHA Guidance (R.8 and Part E) and the present study result, a moderate incidence of sensitization can be assumed for phenothiazine. Based on this categorisation a qualitative approach for choosing appropriate RMMs and OCs as described in ECHA Guidance Part E - Risk Characterisation, p15ff can be applied. In this guidance, moderate sensitizers are allocated to the moderate hazard category on the basis that exposure to these moderate skin sensitizing substances should be well controlled.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
- OECD 406 (Magnusson & Kligman)
- Weak sensitising properties under the conditions of the test
- Result: sensitising
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
To date, there is no test method available to reliably identify respiratory sensitizers. Phenothiazine showed only a weak sensitizing potential in GPMT, while no LLNA is currently available. However, in the literature review conducted no evidence for respiratory sensitization was found.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
- No validated method is available to assess respiratory sensitisation
- Phenothiazine is a weak skin sensitizer according to the study on skin sensitizing properties (Magnusson & Kligman)
- No evidence for respiratory sensitization found as part of the literature review
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the present study on skin sensitization a classification as R43: May cause sensitisation by skin contact (according to 67/548/EEC) or H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction (according to 1272/2008/EC) is appropriate.
Based on the fact that phenothiazine exhibited only a weak skin sensitizing potential in the guinea pig test and that no evidence for respiratory sensitization was found as part of the literature review, no classification as a respiratory sensitizeraccording to 67/548/EEC or 1272/2008/EC is proposed.
