Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
1981
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The described guinea pig sensitisation test (Buehler test) according to OECD 406 was conducted in 1988 before the guidance for the LLNA (OECD429, first adopted in 2002) was available, and before the method was fully established and validated. And since the result of the Buehler test is considered to be scientifically valid, the test was not repeated also taking into account exposure and animal welfare considerations.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Site: scapular region
- Test groups: 12 animals
- Immunostimulation: Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA)
- Control group: 8 animals, treated only with vehicle
- Day 1: first induction, intradermal application
- clipping of an area of 4 cm x 6 cm of the scapular region
- three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL) in the neck of the animals:
mixture of adjuvant and PEG 400 (1:1) (treatment group and control group)
test compound 0.01 % in PEG 400 (treatment group) OR PEG 400 alone (control group)
test compound 0.01 % in a mixture of FCA:PEG 400 (1:1) (treatment group) OR FCA:PEG 400 (1:1) alone (control group)

- Day 7:
- clipping of an area of 4 cm x 6 cm of the scapular region

- Day 8: second induction, epicutaneous application
- test compound 0.01 % in PEG 400 (treatment group) OR PEG 400 alone (control group)
- exposure to the clipped skin area of the injection sites and coverage with an occlusive patch, secured by elastic bandage (Paso, Poland)
- exposure duration: 48 hours

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Site: flank
- Test groups: 12 animals
- Control group: 8 animals, challenged identically as the test group
- Day 21:
- clipping of an area of 5 cm x 5 cm at both flank regions
- Day 22: challenge, epicutaneous application
- application of 0.01 % of the test compound in PEG 400 with an occlusive patch (Polovis, Poland) to the left flank and PEG 400 alone with an occlusive patch to the right flank
- exposure duration: 24 h
- Day 24 and 25: evaluation
- 24 h and 48 h after removal of the dressing the reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring
- Grading according to Draize scoring:
Erythema and Eschar Formation Value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation
injuries in depth 4

Oedema formation
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond
the area of exposure 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Skin sensitizer Category 1A
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this skin sensitization study all animals showed positive reactions at 24h and 48 h (slight to severe erythema at both time points, slight oedema in two animals at the first time point). No deaths occurred during the study period. Based on the results it can be concluded that the test substance is a skin sensitizer.
