No. of groups / animals: 2 groups

Control Group - 10 (5 Males + 5 Females)
Treatment Group - 20 (10 Males + 10 Females)
Note: The results of Historical positive control data of G6951 is included

Age : Young adults (10 – 12 weeks)
Body weight : < 500g body weight at intra-dermal injection
Identification : Guinea pig accession number. Identification of individual animals is by cage card and body markings using turmeric solution / crystal violet solution.

Acclimatization : After physical examination for good health and suitability for the experiment, the animals were acclimatized for 5 days before start of the treatment. Females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. At the end of acclimatization period, the animals procured for the study were weighed and the body weights are arranged in ascending order. The animals were distributed to each of the study groups with in the ratio of 1:2 for G1 and G2 groups respectively. Example: The first animal in the order was allotted to G1 group and the second and third animal is allotted to G2 group and continued similarly with G1 and G2 groups to attain the required number of animals for the respective groups.

Conditions
Animals were housed under standard laboratory conditions, air conditioned with adequate fresh air supply (12-15 air changes/hour). Environment: temperature 20 - 22°C relative humidity 56-65%, with a 12 hour light and 12 hour dark cycle. The maximum and minimum temperature and relative humidity in the experimental room was recorded once daily. The relative humidity in the experimental room was calculated from dry and
wet bulb temperature recordings.

Housing
Guinea pigs were housed individually in standard polysulfone cages (Size: approximately L 425 x B 266 x H 175 mm), with stainless steel top grill having facilities for pelletted food and drinking water; bedding: steam sterilized clean paddy husk was used and changed along with the cage twice a week.

Diet ad libitum
Guinea pig feed manufactured by Pranav agro Industries Ltd, Sangli, Maharashtra, India was provided ad libitum to the animals. The procured feed was subjected to analysis of composition.

Water ad libitum
Deep bore-well water passed through activated charcoal filter and exposed to UV rays in Aquaguard on-line water filter-cumpurifier manufactured by Eureka Forbes Ltd., Mumbai - 400 001, India, was provided. The water bottles were replenished once daily and the water bottles changed once a week.

Solution-2: Distilled water.
Solution-3: 10 mL of solution 1 with 10 mL of solution 2 was mixed as a 1:1 mixture and vortexed.

Treatment group:
Solution-4: 3% v/v of test substance in distilled water : 0.6 mL of test substance was made up to 20 mL in distilled water and vortexed.
Solution-5: 0.6 mL of test substance made up to 10 mL with distilled water (i.e., 6% v/v) and added to 10 mL of solution 1 (10 mL of 1 : 1 mixture of solution-1 and solution-2) to achieve the final concentration of 3 % v/v and vortexed.

Boosting
75% v/v – of the test substance in distilled water: 11.25 mL of the test substance was dissolved and made up to 15 mL with disilled water.

Challenge
50% v/v – of the test substance in distilled water: 7.5 mL of the test substance was dissolved and made up to 15 mL with distilled water.

The main test comprised of 3 phases, viz.,
1) INDUCTION: Intradermal injection
2) INDUCTION (BOOSTING): Topical application
3) CHALLENGE: Topical application

1. INDUCTION
Intradermal injection
The hair of all the animals was removed from the shoulder region (at least an area of 2 x 4 cm) using an electric clipper (Aesculap ® Germany), approximately 24 hours before administration.
Day 1: The animals were injected using sterile 1 mL tuberculin syringe fitted with 26 x ½" gauge needle at the shoulder region with 0.1 mL each of 3 pairs of intradermal injections, so that one injection of each pair is on either side of the midline. Injections 1 and 2 were given near the head region 1 cm apart and injection 3 towards caudal part of the body.

2. INDUCTION (BOOSTING)
TOPICAL APPLICATION
On day 7, the intra dermal injection site (approximately 2 x 4 cm area) was closely clipped. Approximately 24 hours after clipping, ie., on day 8, the test item at the concentration of 75% v/v in distilled water was added drop by drop to the filter paper (2 x 4 cm) until it was fully loaded and applied on to the skin (site of intradermal injection) and covered with cotton gauze (size: 3 x 4 cm - 6 ply). This was held in place for 48 hours by adhesive tape (for occlusion) and crepe bandage wound around torso over which a clean cotton cloth (many tailed bandage) was tied to anchor the crepe bandage.
Control group: Handled similar to treatment group animals but without test substance.

3. CHALLENGE
TOPICAL APPLICATION
The treatment group and control group animals were challenged on the 22nd day of the test (the day of intradermal injections to animals was reckoned as day '1' of the test), by topical application of the test item at the concentration of 50% v/v in distilled water to the control and treatment group animals.
i. One day before the challenge application on day 21, the hair on both the flanks of the animal approximately 80 sq. cm (8 x 10 cm) was closely clipped.
ii. A fully loaded filter paper strip (size; 2 x 4 cm) with the test item at the concentration of 75% v/v in distilled water was applied to the prepared (clipped) area of skin of the left flank. The patches applied on the skin was covered by a cotton gauze (size: 3 x 4 cm – 6 ply). Similarly, a fully loaded filter paper strip with distilled water was applied on to the right flank. The applications were held in place with the help of adhesive tape and crepe bandage wound around torso over which a clean cotton cloth (many tailed bandage) was tied to anchor the crepe bandage. These challenge patches were kept in contact with the skin for a period of 24 hours. On day 23, the patches were removed and the area of skin where the patch was applied was cleaned with mild soap solution and dried.
iii. 24 hours after the removal of patches (viz 48 hours after challenge application), the skin was examined for skin reaction which was scored using Buehler method (1975).
iv. Skin was observed again at 48 hours after the removal of the patch or on day 25 (72 hours after the challenge application) in order to confirm the previous day’s observations. All the observations were recorded.
9.5 OBSERVATIONS
9.5.1 TOXIC SIGNS AND PRE-TERMINAL DEATHS
Test animals were observed for toxic signs and pre-terminal deaths at approximately 2, 4 and 6 hours post administration on treatment days, twice daily on evaluation days and once daily on other days till the termination of the experiment.
9.5.2 BODY WEIGHTS
The body weights were recorded at the start of the treatment (pre-administration), at weekly intervals thereafter and at termination.
9.5.3 SKIN SCORING
i. Observations for skin reactions were made at 24 and 48 hours after the Induction (intradermal administration). Scoring of the administration sites were recorded according to the scheme originally developed by Buehler and Griffin (1975).
ii. Induction patch sites were observed at 1 and 24 hours post removal of the test patch (topical application). Scoring of the administration sites were recorded according to the scoring scheme originally developed by Buehler and Griffin (1975).
iii. Challenge sites were observed at 24 and 48 hours, post removal of the test patch (topical application), at both the right and left flank. Scoring of the administration sites were recorded according to the scoring scheme originally developed by Buehler and Griffin (1975).

EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTIONS
BUEHLER SENSITIZATION SCORING SYSTEM
Skin Reaction Value
0 = No reaction
0.5 = Very faint reaction, usually confluent
1 = Faint erythema, usually confluent
2 = Moderate erythema
3 = Strong erythema with or without edema

9.5.4 NECROPSY AND HISTOPATHOLOGY
All the surviving animals were subjected to gross necropsy at the end of the observation period. Guinea pigs were euthanized via isoflurane anaesthesia. External surface of the body, all orifices, tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities of all animals were examined. All necropsy observations were recorded.
