Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Primary irritation:
To determine the highest non-irritating concentration of the test material to be used in both the challenge and rechallenge phases of the test, a group of guinea pigs was treated with various concentrations of the test article.
Hair was removed from the entire back of 3 uncommitted guinea pigs using electric clippers. On the following day, patches were applied using a Hill Top Chamber System with a 25 mm Webril swatch moistened with 0.4 mL of either 100.0 (neat) or 75.0, 50.0, and 25.0 (w/w) test substance in Squibb Mineral Oil.
An irritant response was elicited by the 100.0, 75.0, 50.0, and 25.0% concentrations. Since even the lowest concentration of 25.0% (w/w) in mineral oil caused an irritant response, an additional group of 4 animals was used for a second primary irritation test. These animals were treated according to the procedure mentioned above. The concentrations of the test substance used were 50.0, 25.0, 10.0, and 5.0% (w/w) in Squibb Mineral oil.

The positive control material (DNCB) was administered in the same manner as for the test substance Irritation groups. DNCB was administered at a concentration of 0.5, 0.1, or 0.05% (w/v) in acetone. These positiive control irritation animals were also administered acetone via the chamber system.

The guinea pigs were wrapped with a piece of rubber dental dam (approx. 3"x4") that was placed over the patch site and secured with Elastoplast in order to ensure occlusive conditions. After an exposure period of approx. 6 h, the patches were removed and the treated sites wiped with cotton gauze wet with saline.
On the day following application of the test material, the clipped areas were depilated with Neet Cream Hair Remover. The depilatory was allowed to remain on the sites for 5-10 min and then wiped with cotton towels moistened with warm tap water. The patch sites were scored for erythema approx. 2 hours later (24-h reading) and approx. 24 h later (48-h reading) using the Draize scoring system.

Primary Irritation Tests:

 

1. Test:

In the evaluation of the primary irritation potential of the test substance, the 100.0% (neat) as well as the 75.0, 50.0, and 25.0% (w/w) concentrations produced significant irritant responses.

2. Test:

In the second test, significant dermal responses were observed at the highest concentration of 50.0%, but not at the lower concentrations. Based on these data, the 25.0% (w/w) concentration was determined to be the highest non-irritating concentration for challenge.
