Effects noted after induction:

- Discrete or patchy moderate and confluent erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of test and control group animals

- Discrete or patchy erythema noted at topical induction sites of test group animals. Bleeding from intradermal injection sites was noted in 9 test group animals after 1 hour. Control animals: discrete or patchy erythema at topical induction site

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, a positive skin reaction was seen in 8 out of 20 guinea pigs 24 hours after challenge. These reactions were not considered sensitising, as they were not apparent after 48 hours (sensitisation rate: 0%). Based on these results, Cyclobutanate does not need to be classified as sensitising according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.
Executive summary:

This Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) was performed according to OECD guideline 406. The sensitising potential of Cyclobutanate was determined. Intradermal induction was performed with 5% Cyclobutanate in arachis oil BP, epicutaneous induction with 100% test material and epicutaneous challenge with 100 and 75% concentrations.

After induction injection discrete/patchy moderate and confluent erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of test and control group animals. Discrete or patchy erythema was also noted after topical induction of test group animals on the induction sites. Bleeding from intradermal injection sites was noted in 9 test group animals after 1 hour. The control animals showed discrete or patchy erythema at topical induction site.

At challenge, 8 and 0 out of 20 test group animals (100% Cyclobutanate) showed a positive skin reaction at the 24 and 48 hour reading. For the control group, this was 1 and 0 out of 10. In the 75% Cyclobutanate group, 6 and 0 out of 20 animals responded positive. In the control group 2 and 0 positive skin reactions were observed.

Under the conditions of this study, a positive skin reaction was seen in 8 out of 20 guinea pigs 24 hours after challenge. These reactions were not considered sensitising, as they were not apparent after 48 hours (sensitisation rate: 0%). Based on these results, Cyclobutanate does not need to be classified as sensitising according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.
