Version / remarks:
(adopted 1981)

yes
Remarks:
(BASF AG, Department of Toxicology )
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The Guinea Pig Maximazitation Test met the previous requirements before the entry into force of REACH. The GPMT is suitable and reliable to cover this endpoint. For this reason and for animal welfare reasons, no further in vivo study (LLNA test) needs to be performed.

MAIN STUDY

INDUCTION
Intradermal Application
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal
- Exposure period: 24h
- Test groups: 20 animals
- Control group: 10 animals
- Site: Shoulder
- Frequency of applications: one time
- Concentrations: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with water (1:1) followed by 2 injections each of 0.1 ml of the test substance formulation, followed by 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant/water (1:1) with test substance in the test group. Control group were given the same injections but without test substance, only with the formulating agent.

Percutaneous Application
- Time of application: one week after intradermal application
- No. of exposures: single dermal application
- Exposure period: 48h
- Test groups: 20
- Control group: 10
- Site: Shoulder, same area as preceding intradermal application
- Frequency of applications: one time
- Concentrations: The test animals were exposed to about 50% test substance formulation in aqua dest (0.3 g of the test substance formulation) under an occlusive dressing. The control animals were treated since with distilled water in similar manner.

CHALLENGE
Two challenges were conducted:
- First challenge: treatment of the test group and of control group 1 with the test substance formulation (control group 2 remained untreated);
- Second challenge: treatment of the test group and of control groups 1 and 2 with the test substance formulation
- Day(s) of challenge: (first challenge: 14d after percutaneous exposure, second challenge: 7d after first challenge)
- Exposure period: 24h
- Test groups: 20
- Control group: 10
- Site: Intact clipped flank
- Concentrations: The test animals were exposed to about 50% test substance formulation in aqua dest under an occlusive dressing.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 and 72h after begin of application
Challenge controls:
10 guinea pigs
Positive control substance(s):
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

Skin irritation findings during induction:

After intradermal induction, distinct erythema and edema were observed at the injection sites of both control and test animals, at which only Freund's adjuvant/aqua dest. (1:1) was applied. Injection of test substance preparation in aqua dest caused distinct erythema in the test animals. The application areas which were injected with test substance preparation in Freund's adjuvant/aqua dest. (1:1) exhibited distinct erythema and edema. The control animals injected with aqua dest. (vehicle) did not show any skin reactions.

 

Result of the maximization test:   

No skin reactions could be observed in the control and treated groups after both, the first and the second challenge.
