Description of key information
In a Guinea pig skin sensitization test (Maximization test), a
sensitizing potential of the test item was evident. Although a Buehler
test revealed only ambigious results, the test article is considered to
be a mild sensitizer.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The concentration for the epidermal applications was selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article.
The following concentrations of the test item were examined in pretest animals in duplicate to determine the maximum subirritant concentration: 30 and 50 % (w/v) in vaseline.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Day 0 Induction, intradermal
- No. of exposures: Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection)
- Site:o n the left and right side of the shaved neck
- Frequency of applications: consecutively
- Concentrations:Test group: - adjuvant/physiological saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- 5% test item in oleum arachidis
- 5% test item in the adjuvant/physiological saline mixture (w/v)
Control group: - adjuvant/physiological saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- adjuvant/physiological saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- oleum arachidis
DAY 8: INDUCTION, epidermal
In the test group the test item was suspended in vaseline and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g per patch; occlusive dressing for 48 hours).
The control group was treated with the vehicle only.
Test group: - 50 % test item in vaseline
Control group: - vaseline
Induction reactions
- Irritation was examined on day 10, 1 hour after removal of the dressing.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Amount: approx. 0.35 mL per chamber
- Dressing: occlusive
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Site: both flanks
- Concentrations: Test and control group: - 30% test item in vaseline
- vaseline
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): The challenge reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings according to the Draize scale - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- once or twice a year with a known mild to moderate sensitiser, such as mercaptobenzothiazole, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or potassiumdichromate
- Positive control results:
- Reference Values with 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole: The reliability check resulted in positive response in 13 (6 males and 7 females) of 20 (appr. 60 %) challenged guinea pigs. There were no irritant skin reactions in control groups. Based on results, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is graded as a moderate sensitizer according to Magnusson and Kligman.

- Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- The test article was graded as a moderate sensitiser according to the Magnusson and Kligman maximisation scale.
- Executive summary:
A guinea pig maximisation test was initiated to determine sensitising properties of the test material after challenge exposure by skin contact. The procedure of Magnusson and Kligman for adjuvant tests was followed. Epidermal challenge of 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs (test groups) resulted in positive responses in 3 female guinea pigs after 24 hours and in 3 male and 5 female guinea pigs after 48 hours, corresponding to a sensitisation rate of 40%. No irritant skin reactions were recorded for control animals. Body weights at start and on conclusion of the test were unaffected by the treatment. The test article was graded as a moderate sensitiser according to the Magnusson and Kligman maximisation scale.
Reference
After, removal of the occlusive dressing on day 10 after epidermal induction, irritation at the application site was seen in 19 of 20 guinea pigs of the test groups.
Body weights were not affected by the treatment.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
- Additional information:
In a GLP-compliant guinea pig maximization test following OECD guideline No. 406 the test article's potential to cause skin hypersensitivity was assessed in 30 albino guinea pigs (10 control group, 20 test group). Test substance concentrations were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, 20 experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 5% concentration (in peanut oil) and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration (in vaseline). Three pairs of injections were given (adjuvant/saline; test item in vehicle; test item in vehicle plus adjuvant/saline). The control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle replacing the test article. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 30% test substance concentration (in vaseline) and the vehicle for 24 hours. Positive responses were recorded in 3 female guinea pigs after 24 hours and in 3 male and 5 female guinea pigs after 48 hours, corresponding to a sensitisation rate of 40%. No irritant skin reactions were recorded for control animals.
A Bühler study yielded ambiguous results with skin reactions in both the test and control group animals, probably related to irritation properties of the test article.
Overall, the test article is considered to be a mild sensitizer.
