Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Amount applied: 2 x 2 cm filter paper strips were applied to the skin of the flanks under an occlusive dressing (the bandage consists of rubberized linenpatches 4 x 4 cm from Russka and Fixomull®& Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG). The test filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation.
- Exposure period: 2 times for 24 hours within a period of 96 hours in order to detect non-specific phenomena that are not caused by a sensitization reaction but could possibly be attributed to a shift in the irritation threshold.
- Site of application: flank, on the same area respectively
- Number of test animals: 4 per test concentration
- Readings: 24 and 48 h after the beginning of application

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (day 0 intradermal injections + day 7 epicutaneous exposure)
- Intradermal induction: A row of six intradermal injections in groups of two per animal was made. These injections were: A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1:1, B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of the test substance formulation, C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant/ 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) with test substance.
- Epicutaneous exposure: 2 x 4 cm filter paper strips were applied to the skin of the shoulder under an occlusive dressing (the bandage consists of rubberized linenpatches 6 x 4 cm from Russka and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG). The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation.
- Exposure period (epicutaneous): 48 hours
- Site: shoulder
- Evaluation: 24 h after intradermal injections, and 48 h after epicutaneous exposure.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure: 2 x 2 cm filter paper strips were applied to the skin of the flank under an occlusive dressing (the bandage consists of rubberized linenpatches 4 x 4 cm from Russka, patches of Idealbinde (5 x 5 cm from Pfälzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik) and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG). The test filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation.
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after the percutaneous induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: intact flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48
Challenge controls:
Identical procedure. A row of six intradermal injections in groups of two per animal A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1:1, B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml of the vehicle, C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant/ 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) with vehicle. Epicutaneous exposure not performed, since the distilled water used as formulating agent was not expected influence the result of the study.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
In a positive control test with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, performed two years before this study, in 85% of the animals sensitisation was observed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

- Intradermal induction: After the intradermal induction well-defined erythema and slight oedema were observed at the injection sites of all control group animals and all test group animals, at which only Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 :1) was applied. Injections of 5% test substance preparations in 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution or in Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 :1) caused well-defined erythema and slight oedema in all test group animals. The injection sites of all control group animals, at which 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution was applied, did not show any skin reactions.

 

- Percutaneous induction: After the percutaneous induction with a 50% test substance preparation incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to well-defined erythema and slight oedema in all test group animals.

 

- Body weights: The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study.

- Mortality: 1 animal of control group 1 and 4 animals of the test group died 13, 17, 20 or 21 days after the beginning of the study. Macroscopic examination revealed that the animals suffered from pneumonia. The cause of death was not related to the test substance treatment.
