Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
1981, page 57 ff.
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
(no pretreatment with sodium lauryl sulphate)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Test concentration used for induction was the highest non-irritating concentration and not the lowest concentration which causes mild-to-moderate skin irritation. The animals were not pretreated with sodium lauryl sulphate, as required by recent guidelines for testing of non-irritating substances. Furthermore, no positive control substance was tested in parallel and no periodically performed sensitivity and reliability check of the experimental technique is reported.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test

Any other information on results incl. tables

Range finding: 100%: 24h and 48h : slightly erythema; 75%: 24h : very slightly erythema; 50% and 10%: no primary dermal irriatation

 Main test: Test group:24h after retesting (50% solution): 1 animal with moderate erythema. 48h after retesting all 20 animals of the test group had no reaction.                   

 Control group: after 24h no reaction on test site or on control site. At 48 h 1/20 animals showed a slight erythema (score 1) at the test substance treated skin area.

19 of the 20 test animals had no reaction, thus the test substance [Trade name] (50% solution) can be classified as “probably not sensitising”. The significant irritation in one test animal can still be assigned to chance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: probably not sensitizing
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Based on current study, the test item can be classified as “probably not sensitising” as 19 of the 20 test animals had no reaction to the test substance (50% solution) according to the method of Magnusson and Kligman (OECD 406) and the distinct irritation in 1 test animal can still be assigned to chance.
Executive summary:

After an acclimation period of at least 7 days, 2 groups (test and control group) of 20 animals each were tested. Before treatment the animals were shaved in the shoulder area (approx. 8 x 5 cm). In order to exclude primary dermal irritation, 2 guinea pigs were tested in a single dermal (occlusive) application (0.5 mL (g) /animal) with following concentrations: 100% undiluted, 75%, 50% and 10% solution in deionised water of a test formulation containing 40% active ingredient (=range finding test).

In Attempt A (intradermal induction) each animal was injected in 2 injection sites (pairs) bilaterally to the spine (starting in the cranio-dorsal area) with 0.05 mL as follows:

Test group:1 pair (2) injections of test substance 10% solution in deionised water; 1 pair (2) injections of test substance 10% solution in FCA and 1 pair (2) injections of FCA undiluted.

Control group:1 pair (2) injections of FCA undiluted; 1 pair (2) injections of dionised water 10% solution in FCA and 1 pair (2) injections of deionised water undiluted.

In Attempt B , 7 days after intradermal induction, the first dermal induction started with 0.5 mL of the test substance (50% solution= maximal concentration with no primary irritation in range finding) on the left flank and 0.5 mL vehicle (deionised water) on the right flank in a closed patch test. After 48 hours the dressing was removed.

In Attempt C (Challenge), 3 weeks after intradermal treatment, the second single dermal application or challenge was executed with “Hill-Top” –Chambers, with 0.5 mL of the test substance (50% solution) on the left flank and 0.5 mL vehicle (deionised water) on the right flank. After 24 hours the dressing was removed. 24 Hours and 48 hours after removal evaluation was done.

The range finding showed no primary irritation in the 50% and 10% solution group.

 In Attempt C (Challenge) there was 1 animal in the test group (50% solution) with slightly erythema at 24h evaluation. At 48h after challenge none of the 20 animals of the test group had any reaction. In the control group after 24 and 48h there were no reactions on the test site or the control site. In 19 of the 20 test animals no reaction was observed, thus the test substance (50% solution or 20% active ingredient) can be classified as “probably not sensitising”. The significant irritation in 1 test animal can still be assigned to chance.
