Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A skin sensitization test according to OECD 406 has already excisted since 1988 and is sufficient for evaluation of the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a guinea pig maximization test (according to OECD Guideline 406, positive control not required by 1981 guideline version), sensitization was not
observed in any of 20 female animals.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing properties of isophorone were conducted in a guinea pig maximation test according to OECD 406 (positive controls not required by 1981 guideline version). Twenty female guinea pigs were intradermally injected with a 10 % concentration of isophorone (in corn oil) and one week later epidermally exposed to a 100 % concentration of test substance. Ten control animals were similary treated, but with vehicle alone. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challegend with 100 % test substance and the vehicle.

Under the conditions of the test no sensitizing effects were observed in any of the 20 animals at all. Based on these results, isophorone should not be classified as contact sensitizer.
