Day(s)/duration:

No. of animals per dose:

Control: 5 animals.
Musk R1: 10 animals.

Details on study design:

Intradermal injections of the test substance were given both after mixing with Freunds adjuvant and also after diluting with propylene glycol (PG),. An area of 4x6 cm of the shoulder region was shaved with electric clippers. Then within a few minutes the 6 intradermal injections were given in an area of 2x4 cm in 2 rows of 3.

Induction: Control animals:
1). 2 injections with Adjuvant.
2). 2 injections with PG.
3). 2 injections with PG + Adjuvant (1:1).

Induction: Test Substance animals:
1). 2 injections of 0.05 ml Freund's Adjuvant.
2). 2 injections of 0.05 ml of a 2% Musk R1 dilution in PG.
3). 2 injections of 0.05 ml of a 2% Musk R1 dilution in PG and Adjuvant (1:1).

One week later:
The same area was shaved again. A patch of 2x4 cm Whatman 3mm filter paper was spread with a 10% dilution of Musk R1 in vaseline and then placed on the shaved skin covered by paraplast which was kept in place by adhesive bandage. This in turn was firmly secured bu self sticking tape and left in place for 48 hours.

Challenge:
The animals were challenged at day 14 after the topical induction on the right flank of which an area of 5x5 cm was shaved. For this treatment Musk R1 was mixed with vaseline. A concentration of 10% (w/w), which proved to be non-irritationg in a preliminary test, was used for the challenge.
A small amount of the 10% mixture was applied to the shaved area of each animal and gently massaged in with a glass rode for 30 seconds. The material was applied to an area of 2x2 cm and was covered by a patch of 2x2 cm Whatman 3mm filter paper and paraplast, kept in place by adhesive bandage and firmly secured by self sticking tape. At the same time the the challenge treatment was applied to the 5 control animals.
Skin readings were made 24 hours after the challenge treatment in both control and test animals.
Skin reactions were judged by the method of Draize, as decribed in J. Pharmacol. 82 (1944) 377-390.

Challenge controls:

At the same time the the challenge treatment was applied to the 5 control animals.

Positive control substance(s):

no

Remarks:

No required for this assessment as not ethitically appropriate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The 10% dilution of Musk R1 in vaseline induced neither erythema nor edema upon topical application in the induction phase of the study.
The challenge dose of 10% provoked no positive reactions in the 10 test substance animals. At the same time none of the 5 control animals reacted positively either.

Executive summary:

On the basic of the results obtained , the test substance Musk R1 exhibited no sensitisation properties according to the classification of Magnusson and Kligman (1970).
