Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A pretest with 6 animals (intradermal: 2 animals, epidermal: 4 animals) was conducted to identify a maximally tolerated concentration of the test article suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application.
All animals were sensitized with intradermal application of a 1:1 suspension of FCA/physiological saline one week before the treatments.
Intradermal injections: 1, 3, and 5% in bidistilled water
Epidermal application: 10, 15, 25, 50% in bidistilled water
Reactions were evaluated 24h (intradermal injection) and 24 and 48h (epidermal application) after beginning of the treatment.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
ALPHA-HEXYLCINNAMALDEHYDE
In the positive control study 65% (at 24-hour reading) and 60% (at 48-hour reading) of the animals of the test group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 15% alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde in PEG 400.
No skin reactions were observed in the control group.

2- MERCAPTOBENZOTHIAZOLE
In this positive control study 90% (at the 24-hour reading) and 100% (at the 48-hour reading) of the animals of the test group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 50% in mineral oil.
No skin reactions were observed in the control group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The substance applied at a concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water is considered to be a non-sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the substance, the Maximization-test in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 92/69 EEC B.6 was carried out in 30 (20 test and 10 control) male albino guinea pigs.

The intradermal induction of sensitization was carried out with a 5% dilution of the test article in bi-distilled water and in an emulsion with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epicutaneous induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with the test article at 50% in bi-distilled water. Two weeks after the epicutaneous induction application the challenge was completed by epicutaneous application of the test article at 25% in bi-distilled water under occlusive dressing. The animals of the control group were induced with bi-distilled water and FCA/physiological and challenged similarly as those of the test group. Cutaneous reactions, i.e erythema and eschar, as well as oedema formation were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

No reactions were observed 24 and 48h after the challenge period.

In this study 0% of the animals of the test and control group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water.

Therefore, the substance applied at a concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water is considered to be a non-sensitizer when used under the described test conditions.
