- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- A valid guinea pig maximisation test is available and therefore no in vitro test is necessary.

- Route:
- intradermal and epicutaneous
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Concentration / amount:

Challengeopen allclose all
- Route:
- epicutaneous, open
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Concentration / amount:
- 10% w/v
- No. of animals per dose:
- 20 for test material, 10 as control group
- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS: The dose-levels for each of the three stages of this study were determined by a sighting study in which groups of two or four guinea pigs were used and up to four dose-levels were tested on each group of animals.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 48h for topical
- Test groups: Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus corn oil in the ratio 1:1; 10% w/v preparation of the test sample in corn oil; 10% w/v preparation of the test sample in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus corn oil
- Control group: Identical procedure to that used for the test animals without the test substance
- Site: Intradermal: on each side of the midline of the animals back; topical: scapular area
- Frequency of applications: Day 1 intradermal, day 7 topical
- Concentrations: Intradermal: 10%; Topical: Undiluted
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 21
- Exposure period: 24h
- Test groups: Filter paper with test substance on shaved skin
- Control group: Filter paper with test substance on shaved skin
- Site: Right flank undiluted, left flank 30% in corn oil
- Concentrations: Undiluted and 30%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72h
OTHER: The day prior to topical induction the application site was clipped and 0.5ml of a 10% w/v preparation of sodium lauryl sulphate (CTL Ref:Y00076/005, Sigma Chemical Company) in paraffin wax was applied in order to provoke a mild inflammatory response - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Hexylcinnamaldehyde
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Following challenge of previously-induced guinea pigs with undiluted hexylcinnamaldehyde, scattered mild redness or moderate diffuse redness was
seen in fourteen of the twenty test animals. The net percentage response was calculated to be 50% and hexylcinnamaldehyde was classified as a moderate skin sensitiser under the conditions of the test.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Diisobutyl Ketone (DIKB) is not a skin sensitiser to guinea pig skin and has therefore not to be classified according to DSD and CLP.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Diisobutyl Ketone (DIKB) is not a skin sensitiser to guinea pig skin (0% sensitization rate). Hence, no classification is required according to DSD and CLP.
