- PRELIMINARY TESTS:
-Determination by intradermal injection of the Maximal Non Necrotizing Concentration (MNNC):
This test was conducted for the purpose of defining a MNNC of the test material which, on intradermal injection during the induction phase, does not risk causing too great a lesion (non-necrotizing concentration), should be well-tolerated systemically and should be the highest to cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation.
Two animals received a volume of 0.1 mL of the test material, on both sides of the spine, at 4 concentrations: diluted at 60, 40, 20 and 5% in physiological saline in view to determine the MNNC. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 hours after the injections. Due to the necrosis observed in the animals, the same animals received a volume of 0.1 mL of the test material, on both sides of the spine at 4 new concentrations: diluted at 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.2% in physiological saline in view to determine the MNNC. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 hours after the injections. Due to the necrosis observed in the animals, the same animals received a volume of 0.1 mL of the test material, on both sides of the spine at 4 new concentrations: diluted at 0.1, 0.05, 0.02 and 0.01% in physiological saline in view to determine the MNNC. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 hours after the injections.
- Determination by topical application of the Pre-Maximal Non Irritant Concentration (Pre-MNIC):
This test, which allowed evaluating the irritancy potential of the test material, defined whether an application of sodium lauryl sulphate would be needed during topical induction phase.
The test material was applied on the dorso-lumbar zone of two guinea pigs shorn beforehand, with occlusive dressing for 24 hours, at 4 different concentrations: diluted at 80, 50, 30 and 20% in distilled water. After the removal of the occlusive dressing, the treated areas were rinsed with distilled water. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 hours after removal of the dressing.
- Determination by topical application of the Maximal Non Irritant Concentration (MNIC):
This test was carried out for the purpose of determining the MNIC of the test material without risk of an irritant effect during the challenge phase.
Three guinea pigs were treated according to the same treatment as animals from GROUP 1 (control) for the induction phase (i.e. physiological saline and distilled water). During the challenge phase, the animals were treated with the test material placed onto the selected treatment sites and covered with an occlusive dressing for a period of 24 hours at 4 different concentrations: diluted at 80, 70, 60 and 50% in distilled water. After the removal of the occlusive dressing, the treated areas were rinsed with distilled water. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing. Due to the results, the same animals were treated with the test material placed onto the selected treatment sites and covered with an occlusive dressing for a period of 24 hours at 4 new different concentrations: diluted at 40, 20, 10 and 5% in distilled water. A macroscopic evaluation of the cutaneous reactions was conducted 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Intradermal induction
Day 0: After shearing the scapular zone, three pairs of intradermal injections (ID) of 0.1 mL were performed on the scapular zone in such a way as an injection on each pair is placed to either side of the spine as follows:
GROUP 1 (control):
2 ID: Freund’s Complete Adjuvant diluted at 50% in physiological saline
2 ID: physiological saline
2 ID: a mixture with equal volumes v/v:
- Freund’s Complete Adjuvant at 50% and physiological saline
GROUP 2 (Treated):
2 ID: Freund’s Complete Adjuvant diluted at 50% in physiological saline
2 ID: test material at 0.02% in physiological saline
2 ID: a test mixture in equal volumes v/v:
- Freund’s Complete Adjuvant at 50 % and the test material at 0.04% in physiological saline
- Topical induction
Day 7: The scapular zone of all the animals in each group, shorn beforehand, was brushed with a solution of sodium lauryl sulphate at 10% in thick Vaseline, in order to create a local irritation.
Day 8: A topical application under occlusive dressing (25 mm x 25 mm non-woven swab of 4-layer patch held in contact with the skin by means of 50 mm wide hypoallergenic adhesive tape) for 48 hours was performed on the injection sites of each animal:
GROUP 1 (control): 0.5 mL of distilled water.
GROUP 2 (treated): 0.5 mL of the test material at 80% in distilled water.
Day 10: Removal of the semi-occlusive dressing.
- Rest phase: The animals of both groups were left for 10 days.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Day 21: The experimental procedure of this phase was identical for both groups submitted to this experimentation: on the previously shorn dorso-lumbar zone, an application, under occlusive dressing, was applied for 24 hours:
- 1 sample cup saturated with the test material at 20 % (MNIC) and 1 sample cup saturated with the test material at 10% in distilled water (1/2 MNIC).
Day 22: After the removal of the occlusive dressing, the treated areas were rinsed with distilled water.
Day 23: 1st reading time – 24 hours after the patch removal.
Day 24: 2nd reading time – 48 hours after the patch removal.

Necrosis in all animals was observed at the tested concentrations of 60, 40, 20 and 5%. In view of these results, another MNNC determination was carried out at the tested concentrations of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.2%.
24 hours after the injections, necrosis was observed in all animals at the tested concentrations of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.2%.
In view of these results, another MNNC determination was carried out at the tested concentrations of 0.1, 0.05, 0.02 and 0.01%.
24 hours after the injections, necrosis was observed in one animal (1/2) at the tested concentration of 0.1% and slight necrosis was observed in the other animal. Slight necrosis was observed in all animals at the tested concentration of 0.05%. Discrete erythema was noted in the animals at the tested concentrations of 0.02 and 0.01%. The first induction of the Group 2 was carried out by intradermal injection at the maximal non necrosing concentration of 0.02%.
- Pre MNIC determination:
24 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, no cutaneous reaction was observed whatever the tested concentration. In view of these results, the concentration selected was 80% for the 2nd induction of the Group 2 and the MNIC determination began at the concentration of 80%.
- MNIC determination:
24 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, moderate to intense erythema was notedat the tested concentrations of 80, 70, 60 and 50%.
48 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, discrete to moderate erythema associated with dryness of the skin was notedat the tested concentrations of 80, 70, 60 and 50%.
In view of these results, another MNIC determination was carried out at the tested concentrations of 40, 20, 10 and 5%.
24 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, discrete erythema was noted in the animals at the tested concentrations of 40% and no cutaneous reaction was noted at the tested concentrations 20, 10 and 5%.
48 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, no cutaneous reaction was noted whatever the tested concentration. In view of this result, the concentrations selected were 20% (MNIC) and 10% (1/2 MNIC) for the challenge phase.
MAIN STUDY
-Induction phase Group 2: Discrete erythema was noted in four animals (4/10) and no cutaneous reaction was noted in six animals (6/10) 24 hours after the first induction. Discrete erythema associated with dryness of the skin was noted in all animals (10/10) after the second induction.
- Induction phase Group 1: No cutaneous reaction was noted 24 hours after the first induction. Dryness of the skin was noted in all animals (5/5) after the second induction.
