Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
No signs of contact sensitization were observed at 0.25% ICC and 10% ACC concentrations. Hence the test material Anisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5) was considered to be non-sensitizing to the skin of albino Hartley guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization study ofAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)was carried out in 10 Inbred Hartley strain albino the guinea pigs of to determine its sensitization potential according modified Draize sensitization test.

 

The preliminary irritation tests were done in guinea pigs to determine concentrations suitable for sensitization testing [injection challenge concentration(ICC) and application challenge concentration(ACC) ]

 

In the induction phase,the total dose was administered on one occasion as 4 intradermal injections, each 2.5 times the ICC (2.5X 0.25). Fourteen days later each animal was challenged intradermally in one flank and topically in the other with 0.1 ml aliquots of test substance at the respective ICC and ACC (0.25 and 10 respectively). Twenty-four hours later the reactions were observed.

 

In the absence of sensitization reactions at first challenge the induction and challenge procedures were repeated, andapparent sensitization reactions confirmed 7 days later by a second challenge with controls included.

 

Based upon the second challenge, it can be concluded that theAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)was considered to be non-sensitizingto the skin of albino Hartley guinea pigs at 0.25% ICC and 10% ACC concentrations.
