Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C11-C14, n-alkanes, < 2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

A Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test was conducted on 30 guinea pigs with MRD-83-206. Following a preliminary irritation test, 15 guinea pigs were treated by intradermal injection (5.0% (v/v) vehicle or adjuvant/ MRD-83-206) to induce sensitization and then further sensitized by dermal application of 100.0% (v/v) MRD-83-206. Guinea Pigs were challenged by topical application (0.5% (v/v) MRD-83-206 in corn oil). All animals survived to termination of study displaying an increase in weight over the initial values.  There was a very low incidence of clinical in-life observations noted throughout the test period.  Following topical challenge with 0.5% MRD-83-206, four out of 15 animals in both the treated and control groups displayed minimal irritation.  Based on the scores of dermal irritation, test substance MRD-83-206 would not be considered a dermal sensitizer under the EU GHS guidelines or under the EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations guidelines.

Details on study design:
Followed Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test (1969).
Briefly,
Day 0 – Induction of Sensitization by Intradermal Injection with and without adjuvant
A pair of 0.1 mL injections of the following solutions was intradermally administered to each of 3 sites in the clipped backs of the test animals. Site 1 –diluted FCA to both treated and control group; Site 2 – 5.0% MRD-83-206 in vehicle (treatment group) and undiluted vehicle (control group); Site 3 – 5.0% MRD-83-206 in diluted FCA (treatment group) and undiluted FCA (control group).

Day 7 – Induction by Occlusive Topical Application
0.5 mL of neat MRD-83-206 (or vehicle for control animals) was topically applied over the injection sites on the shoulder of the treated group animal under an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.

Day 21 – Challenge by Occlusive Topical Application
0.5 mL of 0.5% MRD-83-206 in vehicle was topically applied to the animals under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.

Animals were monitored for viability twice a day. Dermal reactions were scored according to the Draize methodology.

Challenge controls:
Vehicle controls were used for each of the induction treatments and for the challenge treatment.
Positive control substance(s):
no
