Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Induction - Intradermal injections
- 0.1 ml 20 % test item in olive oil: discrete erythema= suitable
Induction - Topical application
- 50 % test item in vaseline: erythema = suitable
- 20 % test item in vaseline: no visible change = unsuitable
Challenge - Topical application
- 5 % test item in vaseline: very discrete erythema = unsuitable
- 1% test item in vaseline: no visible change = suitable
- 0.5 % test item in vaseline: no visible change = suitable
Note: before the topical induction it is necessary to apply sodium lauryl suphate in vaseline in order to induce a local irritation.

Guinea pig maximization test

The body weight of animals increased throughout the study and it was not affected by the test substance.

Body weight in grams - mean values ± SD

   number of animals  start of study  end of study  increment
 Exposed group  10 348.48 ± 44.31   480.61 ± 60.62  132.15
 Control group  5 355.96 ± 51.32  497.64 ± 96.38  141.68

Clinical observation: In the course of experiment the animals did not show clinical symptoms of intoxication. At the end of experiment, the animals were killed by ether anaesthesia.

Evaluation of skin reactions after challenge:

Exposed group at 48 hours after the challenge: The evaluation of skin reactions in the exposed group carried out at 48 hours after the start of the challenge phase of study did not show any changes in skin of exposed flank of all animals. The other flank of the animals applied with the vaseline only did not show any skin reactions in all the 10 animals.

Exposed group at 72 hours after the challenge: The evaluation of skin reactions in the exposed group carried out at 72 hours after the start of challenge phase of study did not show any changes in skin of the exposed flank of all animals. The other flank did not show any changes in skin of all the 10 animals.

Control group at 48 and 72 hours after the challenge: The evaluation of skin reactions in the control group carried out at 48 and 72 hours after the start of the challenge phase of study did not show any changes in skin of animals in both flanks.
