RANGE FINDING TESTS:
1st screening group: Four males treated intradermally, at a shaved site, with 0.1ml of DEIPA at 0.5, 1, 5 and 10% w/v in sterile water, each animal receiving all four concentrations. Injection sites evaluated for erythema and edema reactions at approx. 24-hours and 48-hours after injection.

2nd screening group: Four males received two 0.1ml intradermal injections of a 1:1 dilution of FCA and sterile water on the shoulder area. Twelve days after, all animals received a topical application of DEIPA at 1, 10, 25 and 50% w/v in sterile water covered with an occlusive patch. The patch was removed after 24 hours and the test site washed. Each animal received all four concentrations. Application sites were observed for dermal reactions at 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.

- Test groups: Undiluted DEIPA
- Control group: Undiluted DEIPA
- Site: Right and left side
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48
Challenge controls:
10 males in control group, undiluted DEIPA used for challenge topical application
Positive control substance(s):

hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
All 10 animals in the test group within this study exhibited mild to severe dermal reactions following challenge applications of undiluted HCA or a 50% mixture of HCA in mineral oil. None of the animals in the test group exhibited a dermal reaction to the vehicle at challenge. From these results, HCA is considered to be an extreme dermal sensitizer in guinea pigs by the maximization test. The positive control study was conducted within 6 months of the DEIPA sensitisation study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 406, DEIPA was determined to be non-sensitising in the guinea pig maximisation test.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 406, the dermal sensitising potential of DEIPA was assessed in a guinea pig maximisation test. Following the initial screening phase, 20 animals were assigned to the test group and 10 to the control group. On day 1, animals in the test group received duplicate 0.1 ml intradermal injections either side of the midline over the shoulder region, of a 1:1 dilution of Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) in sterile water, 1% w/v suspension of test material in sterile water and 1% w/v suspension of test material in sterile water in FCA. Concurrently, the control group received duplicate 0.1 ml injections of a 1:1 dilution of FCA in sterile water, sterile water alone and a 1:1 dilution of sterile water in FCA. On day 7, the animals in both groups were pre-treated with 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolatum applied topically at the injection sites. One day later, undiluted test material or vehicle (sterile water) was applied topically over the injection sites to animals in the test and control group respectively, and covered with an occlusive dressing for 48 hours before removal of the material with a damp cloth.

All animals received a challenge dose 2 weeks after the topical application. The undiluted test material and vehicle were applied to the right and left side of the animal and covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours before removal with a damp cloth. The challenge sites were examined for dermal reaction at 24 and 48 hours following patch removal.

None of the animals in either the test or control group exhibited a dermal reaction to the challenge application of the test or control substances. There were no significant changes in body weights or treatment-related clinical signs of toxicity reported.

In this study, DEIPA can be considered as non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.
