Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control experiment (most recent in July 1994) was carried out to check the sensitivity of the test system as used by NOTOX, in
accordance with the test method described in the report.
Concentrations selected for this study were:
- Intradermal induction: 5% solution in physiological saline (w/w)
- Epidermal induction: undiluted test substance: 100%
- Challenge: 10, 5, 2 and 0% solution in distilled water (w/w)

Taking into account the intensity if the skin reactions noted in the control animals, it was considered that positive reactions, indicative of sensitisation, were observed in all experimental animals in response to one or more of the test substance concentrations. These results lead to the maximum
sensitisation rate of 100%, which indicates that Alpha-Hexylcinnamidecaldehyde has extreme sensitising properties in this test applying the rating if
allergenicity described by Kligman A. M. (1996). (See table 7.4.1 a.)

Any other information on results incl. tables

PRELIMINARY STUDY (See Table 7.4.1 b.)

No signs of systemic toxicity were observed.

The test substance concentrations used in the main study were based on the findings in the preliminary study and in accordance with Magnusson and Kligman (1969).

The highest concentration inducing skin irritation used for induction is 100%

The non-irritant highest concentration is 50%.

MAIN STUDY - INDUCTION (See table 7.4.1 c.)

All experimental and control animals showed a marked area with necrosis and erythema around theses areas, 24 hours after the intradermal injections. Four experimental animals showed slight erythema after the 48 hours occluded epidermal induction exposure. The control animals showed no skin irritation.

MAIN STUDY - CHALLENGE

Control group: (See table 7.4.1 e.)

Two animals showed discrete or patchy erythema and scaliness in response to the 50% test substance and one of these two animals showed a similar skin reaction in response to the 25% concentration. No skin reactions were evident in response to the 10% concentration.

Exeprimental group: (See table 7.4.1 d.)

Nine, eight and seven animals of a total of nine experimental animals showed a skin reaction in response to 50%, 25% and 10% test substance concentrations, respectively. These reactions were characterised by redness (grade 1 and 2) and scaliness and in three animals eschar/crust formation (grade 4) in response to the 50% concentration.

TOXICITY Symptoms / MORTALITY

No mortality occured and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study during the study period.

However, one experimental animal (No.584) was killed in extremis on Day 14. One paw of this animal was jammed in the wire-mesh floor of the cage and had become severely injured.

BODY WEIGHTS

The average body weight gain of experimental and control animals was considered to be similar.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, DESMODUR BL 3175 is classified as sensitizing for the skin according to the criteria of the Annex VI to the Directive
67/548/EEC and to the criteria of the Annex I to the CLP Regulation (EC) N°( 1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In a sensitising study, performed according to the OECD guideline N°406 ( Maximization test of Magnusson and Kligman) in compliance with GLP, 10 females albino guinea-pig per doses were exposed to DESMODUR BL 3175 in a preliminary test in order to select the concentrations for the main study. The highest dose inducing skin irritation is 100% and the non-irritant highest dose is 50%, respectively used for induction and challenge in the main study.

Nine, eight and seven animals showed a skin reaction in response to the 50, 25 and 10% test substance concentrations in the main study, respectively.

Therefore, DEMSODUR BL 3175 is classified as a sensitising to the skin according to the criteria of the Annex VII to the Directive

67/548/EEC and to the criteria of the Annex I to the CLP Regulation (EC) N°( 1272-2008).
