RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Primary irritation screens were carried out to determine the concentrations for the main test. To assess the reactions after intradermal injection, two animals were administered 0.1 ml at 10, 30 and 50% in vehicle and the same doses in Freund's Complete Adjuvant (6 injections/animal) and two animals were administered 1, 3 and 5%. Irritation after occluded topical application was assessed in two animals administered 0.25 ml at 10, 30, 50 and 100% (4 test sites/animal). Skin reactions were assessed 1, 2 and 7 days after removal of the dressings. Irritation after topical challenge was assessed by occluded application of 0.03 ml of 5, 10, 30 and 50% to the skin of three animals (4 test sites/animal) and reactions examined at 24 and 48 hr.

RESULTS OF THE RANGE-FINDING STUDY: 

Intradermal administration resulted in slight erythema which had regressed by day 7.

Some animals developed eschar by day 7 and pallor, skin discoloration was also reported. There was no obvious dose relationship although concentrations from 1 to 50% were tested. Following topical induction eschar was observed at sites receiving undiluted Linevol 79, concentrations of 10 -30% resulted in exfoliation only, erythema was not observed. The topical challenge resulted only in discoloration in one animal and exfoliation in several.

 

RESULTS OF THE MAIN TEST:

After the intradermal induction phase, Freund's Complete Adjuvant either alone or with the test substance caused moderate erythema in the majority of animals.

 

After topical induction one male and one female had slight erythema and all 20 animals showed exfoliation on removal of the occlusive dressing. No reactions were observed in the ten control animals.

 

- Sensitization reaction: Challenge application of 30% v/v Linevol 79 in propylene glycol gave rise to eschar in 9 test and 3 control animals. A further 10 test and 5 controls showed slight erythema. Exfoliation was present in 2 test animals. Challenge application of 5% Linevol 79 resulted in eschar formation in 1 test animal and slight erythema in 1 test animal, exfoliation was observed in 3 test animals. No dermal reaction was evident following challenge application of propylene glycol alone. Irritation in the main test was obviously more marked than in the pilot study. While there was a slight increase in the incidence of significant responses in the test group this was attributed to primary irritation. Total significant responses in the test group were 19/20 for the 30% challenge and 8/10 for controls. Following challenge with 5% Linevol 79 in propylene glycol 2/20 test and 0/10 controls showed a significant response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In a reliable study, conducted according to OECD guideline 406 (Magnusson and Kligman method) Linevol 79 was not a skin sensitiser in the guinea pig maximisation test. A slight increase in significant reactions in the test group was attributed to primary irritation. The study was performed in compliance with GLP.

Classification: not sensitizing
