- Preliminary Test
A preliminary test was performed to define the concentration to be tested in the main study.
By intradermal route
Determination of the Minimum Irritant Concentration (M.I.C.):
24 hours before treatment, the dorsal region of the animals was clipped, the test substance was prepared in an appropriate vehicle, intradermal administration of the test substance (volume 0.1 ml) at increasing concentrations was performed in order to determine the minimum concentration which does causes an irritation, evaluation of the potential cutaneous reactions, 24 and 48 hours after injection.
By cutaneous route
Determination of the Minimum Irritant Concentration (M.I.C.) and Maximum Non-Irritant Concentration (M.N.I.C.):
24 hours before treatment, the dorsal region of the animals was clipped, 0.5 ml of the test substance undiluted was applied to a gauze pad of approximately 4 cm2 and then held in place by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours, potential cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the gauze pads.
Main Study
Preparation of the animals
For all animals and before each treatment, the application sites were:
clipped on days -1 and 7 (scapular area 4 cm x 2 cm), clipped again on days 21 and 25 (each flank 2 cm x 2 cm) and shaved on day 21 (each flank
2 cmx 2 cm).
Induction phase by intradermal and cutaneous routes
Intradermal route
On day 1, 6 intradermal injections were made into a clipped area (4 em x 2 em) in the scapular region, using a needle (diameter: 0.50 x 16 mm, Terumo: e.M.L., 77140 Nemours, France) mounted on a 1 ml glass syringe (0.01 ml graduations, Record: Carrieri, 75005 Paris, France).
Three injections of 0.1 rnl were injected into each side of the animal, as follows:
Control group
Freund's complete adjuvant diluted to 50% (v/v) with a sterile isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl), vehicle,a mixture of 50/50 (w/v) Freund's complete adjuvant diluted to 50% (v/v) with a sterile isotonic aqueous NaCl solution and the vehicle.
Treated group
Freund's complete adjuvant diluted to 50% (v/v) with a sterile isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl), test substance at a concentration of 25% (w/w) in the vehicle, a mixture 50/50 (w/v) of Freund's complete adjuvant diluted to 50% (v/v) with a sterile isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl), and, the test substance at a concentration of 25% (w/w) in the vehicle.
Cutaneous route
On day 7, the scapular area was clipped. As the test substance is shown to be non-irritant after occlusive cutaneous treatment during preliminary test, the animals were treated with 0.5 ml of sodium laurylsulphate (10%) in vaseline to provoke local irritation. On day 8, a cutaneous application on the 6 injection areas (4 em x 2 em) of the scapular region was performed.
Control group -- application of 0.5 ml of the vehicle.
Treated group -- application of 0.5 ml of a non-irritant concentration of the test substance i.e. in its original form.
The test substance and the vehicle were prepared on a dry gauze pad (Semes France, 54183 Heillecourt, France), which was then applied to the scapular region and held in place for 48 hours by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic dressing (Laboratoires de Pansements et d'Hygiene, 21300 Chenove, France) and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster (Laboratoire des Professions Medicales, 92240 Malakoff, France). No residual test substance was observed at removal of the dressing.
One hour after removal of the occlusive dressing, cutaneous reactions were recorded.
Challenge phase
At the end of the rest period on day 22, the test substance was applied at the Maximum NonIrritant Concentration (M.N.I.C.) i.e. in its original form.
On day 22, the animals from both groups received an application of 0.5 ml of the M.N.I.C. of the test substance on the posterior right flank, and 0.5 ml of the vehicle on the posterior left flank. This application was performed using a 1 ml plastic syringe (0.01 ml graduations, Terumo: e.M.L., 77140 Nemours, France). The test substance and vehicle were prepared on a dry gauze pad (Semes France, 54183 Heillecourt, France), then applied to a 4 cm2 (2 cm x 2 cm) clipped area of the skin. The gauze pad was held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by means of an occlusive, hypoallergenic dressing (Laboratoires de Pansements et d'Hygiene, 21300 Chenove, France) and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster (Laboratoire des Professions
Medicales, 92240 Malakoff, France). No residual test substance was observed at removal of the dressing.
SCORING OF CUTANEOUS REACTIONS
Twenty-four and 48 hours after removal of the dressing from the challenge application site, the both flanks of the treated and control animals were observed in order to evaluate cutaneous reactions, according to the following scale:
Erythema and eschar formation
· No erythema 0
· Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
· Well-defined erythema 2
· Moderate to severe erythema 3
· Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Oedema formation
· No oedema 0
· Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
· Slight oedema (visible swelling with well-defined edges) 2
· Moderate oedema (visible swelling raised more than 1 millimetre) 3
· Severe oedema (visible swelling raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4
Any other lesions were noted.
CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS
The animals were observed twice a day during the study in order to record clinical signs and to check for mortality.
BODY WEIGHT
The animals were weighed individually on the day of allocation into the groups, on the first day of the study (day 1), then on days 8, 15 and 25.
PATHOLOGY
Necropsy
On day 25, after the 48-hour observation period, the animals were killed by CO2 inhalation in excess.
Cutaneous samples
On day 25, a skin sample was taken from the treatment sites of the posterior left and right flanks of all animals. The samples were preserved in 10% buffered formalin.
Microscopic examination
Tissues taken for microscopic examination were embedded in paraplast, sectioned at approximately 4 microns in thickness and stained with hemalum-eosin. At the request of the study monitor, a histological examination was performed on the right flank of treated female Nos. 112, 113, 114, 117 and 119. No histological examinations were performed in all other animals.
DETERMINATION OF THE ALLERGENICITY LEVEL
The treated animals show a positive reaction if macroscopic cutaneous reactions are clearly visible (erythema and/or oedema >= 2) and more marked than the most severe reactions of the control animals, or, if "doubtful" macroscopic reactions are confirmed at microscopic examination as being due to the sensitization process. Sensitization reactions are characterized at microscopic examination by basal spongiosis, reactional acanthosis of the epidermis and infiltration of mononucleated cells into the dermis.
Determination of the allergenicity level
The allergenicity level of the test substance is calculated by comparing the number of animals showing positive reactions with the number of surviving treated animals at the end of the study.
% of animals Allergenicity Classification showing a reaction level
o - 8 I very weak
9 - 28 II weak
29 - 64 III moderate
65 - 80 IV strong
81 - 100 V very strong
According to the E.E.C. directive 931211E.E.C. published in the Journal Officiel des Communautes Europeennes, when the reactions are positive in at least 30% of the treated animals, the test substance has sensitization properties and the sentence "R 43: May cause sensitization by skin contact" must be applied. - Positive control substance(s):
- no

Any other information on results incl. tables
Skin of the treated right flank (test substance at 100% concentration) was examined in 5/10 females showing cutaneous reactions. Slight to moderate acanthosis was noted in all 5 females, together with minimal hyperkeratosis in 3 females. Minimal mononuclear cell infiltration of the upper dermis was noted in 5/10 examined females, together with minimal granulocyte infiltration in 2 females. No treated skin from the 5/10 examined females showed spongiosis and in absence of the classical association of spongosis, acanthosis and mononuclear infiltration of dermis, the above-mentioned lesions reported in 5/10 examined females were equivocal.
Acanthosis can be seen in cases of irritative inflammatory reaction and the minimal microscopic changes noted in the 5/10 examined females might have been related to application of the test substance at 100% concentration and/or shaving.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions used in this study and according to the maximization method established by Magnusson and Kligman, no cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of iso-propyl bromide in its undliuted form were observed in guinea pigs. iso-Propyl bromide is, therefore, non-sensitizing.
- Executive summary:
In a CoR 1 dermal sensitization study with 2-bromopropane in paraffin oil, Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. No cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of iso-propyl bromide in its undliuted form were observed in guinea pigs.
In this study, 2 -bromopropane is not a dermal sensitizer.
