Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 10 %
Signs of irritation during induction:
No irritation was noted following intradermal injections or
the topical induction.
No irritation was observed in the control animals.
Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
92% - Not a Skin Sensitiser. Net response 0%
75% - Not a Skin Sensitiser. Net response 0%
Executive summary:

The sensitisation potential of Dienone was assessed using a method based on the maximisation test described by Magnusson and Kligman (1970). The study involved the treatment of guinea pigs using two procedures: the potential induction of an immune response and a challenge by assessing the degree of erythema.

Following challenge of previously induced guinea pigs with a 92% or a 75% w/v preparation of the test substance in corn oil, no erthematous response was seen on any of hte test or control animals. A positive control study using hexylcinnamaldehyde demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system.

Dienone is not a skin sensitiser under the conditions of the test.

By read across, delta-6 -nandrolone is also not a skin sensitiser under these conditions.
