RANGE FINDING TESTS:
1 animal/sex was treated epicutaneously (at two sites) with 1, 50 or 100% Neodol 91 (where applicale dissolved in absolute ethanol) under occlusion for 6 hours. Only the 1% solution did not elicit a reaction indicative of irritation.

MAIN STUDY - Non-adjuvant Buehler test
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 3 weeks
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2 (vehicle and positive controls)
- Site: back/trunk
- Frequency of applications: one day/week, on 3 consecutive weeks
- Duration: 6 hours
- Concentrations: 1.01 % (volume 0.5 ml)
- Reactions were scored approximately 24 and 48 hours after treatment (Draize grading system)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 28 (i.e. 2 weeks after final induction)
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 3 (vehicle, positive and irritation controls)
- Site: back/trunk (two patches, on sensitized and virgin application sites)
- Concentrations: 1.01% (volume 0.5 ml)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 (Draize grading system)

No rechallenge.

OTHER: Exposure sites were shaved (48 hours) and depilated (24 hours) prior to exposure.

Each treatment involved dispensing the appropriate dose on a 1"x1" gauze pad attached to a 2" wide strip of Blenderm (R) surgical tape (Minnesota mining and Manufacturing, Saint Paul, Minnesota), then applying the patch to the anterior central portion of the back/trunk and securing with Saran wrap (Dow Chemical co., Indianapolis, Indiana). Animals were placed in a stainless steel wire restrained for the six-hour application duration for the first and second applications (for the 3rd and challenge applications, they had outgrow n the restrainers and so these were not used; nevertheless the patches and wraps remained in situ). Excess test material was removed with a moisterned gauze pad.
Challenge controls:
yes
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (0.1% solution in diethyl ether)

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Statistics:
none

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive controls showed a significant response at challenge  with all test sites showing an increased degree of irritation. However, reactions were similar to those seen during induction and so were not unambiguously indicative of sensitization.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF TEST 

There was slight irritation in the  test group during the induction period. The average Draize score was 0.38 at week  1, 0.5 at week 2 and 0.28 at week 3. By week 5 the score was zero (no irritation seen).


Average irritation at challenge for the treated group was 0, positive  controls were 1.55, vehicle controls 0.08 and irritation controls 

 (challenge application only) 0.13.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In a reliable study, conducted to a protocol similar to OECD guideline 406, Neodol 91 (1% in ethanol) was not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs when tested using the Buehler non-adjuvant method. The study was performed in compliance with GLP.

Classification: not sensitizing
Executive summary:

[In view of the structural and chemical similarities, it is considered that the results of this study can be used for read-across to Undecanol, linear and branched.]
