Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The test material produced a 0% (0/19) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pigs.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material, GBS-5, in the albino guinea pig. Twenty test and ten control animals were used for the main study. Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:
lntradermal lnduction: 1% w/v in distilled water
Topical Induction: 50% w/w in distilled water
Topical Challenge: 50% and 25% w/w in distilled water.
A concurrent study, using groups of ten animals, was performed with the known contact sensitiser, 2,4 -dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The concentrations used were as follows:
lntradermal lnduction: 0.1% w/v in arachis oil B.P.
Topical Induction: 0.75% w/v in absolute ethanol
Topical Challenge: 0.5% and 0.25% w/v in absolute ethanol.
The results are summarised as follows:
GBS-5: 0% animals showed positive skin responses
DNCB: 80% animals showed positive skin responses
The test material, GBS-5, was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material was also classified as a non-sensitiser according to OECD-GHS classification. No symbol or risk phrases are required.
The results of the positive control study were consistent with the known sensitising properties of DNCB.
