Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
Magnussen and Kligmann Method
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A non-LLNA test is available that was performed prior to the current data requirements, stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In accordance with the same Regulation, the data was included to avoid unnecessary testing.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Yes (intradermal: October 1st 1996 - October 3rd 1996; topical: October 1st 1996 - October 4th 1996)
2 animals were pre-treated with 2 intradermal injections of FCA/water emulsion (1:1) approx. 1 week prior to test material administration.
0.1 mL of the test substance (5% w/v) solved in propylene glycol was injected on either side of the spinal column and animals were observed for dermal irritation 24 h and 48 h after injection.
For the topical range-finding study, animals (3 per sex) were dosed with 0.1 mL test substance at 4 different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% in ethyl alcohol) at different sites, 2 on either side of the column. Substance application occured for over 24 h under occlusive conditions. Skin reactions were observed 24 and 48 h thereafter.



MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2 (positive and irritation control)
- Site: A row of three injections was made on each side in the shoulder region.
- Frequency of applications: Days 1 and 8
- Duration: 25 days
- Concentrations: intradermal induction: 5%, topical induction: 100%


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 d after last induction application
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2 (positive and irritation control)
- Site: Flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the patches
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Hexylcinnamic aldehyde (HCA)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Treatment with 50% HCA resulted in 30% positive response.
Treatment with 100% HCA resulted in 20% positive response (not sensitising, by definition). This lower effect might be due to decreased dermal absorption at high substance concentration.
