Details on study design:
PRELIMINARY STUDY TO SELECT DOSE CONCENTRATIONS
-Two selected animals were clipped on their dorsal skin and 0.1 mL of test material suspension (at 25, 10, 5 and 1 % w/w) was injected intradermally to sites A to D.
-Two animals were then clipped and shaved on the scapula area and 0.1 mL of 1:1 emulsion of physiological saline and Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was injected intradermally to the four corners of the area. Seven days later fur of 3 x 7 cm on the right and left flanks was clipped and shaved and 0.1 mL of each test material suspension (50, 25, 10, 5, 2.5 and 1 % w/w) was applied to a patch 1.5 cm in diameter. The patch was applied to the shaved skin and covered occlusively with a polyethylene film tape. The patch was removed after 24 hours and the site cleaned with absorbent cotton soaked with polyethylene glycol 300.
-Animals were observed for skin reactions at 24 and 48 hours after intradermal injection or patch removal.

MAIN STUDY

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
-Site: On the day before intradermal induction, fur of a 4 x 6 cm area above the scapula was clipped with an electric clipper and further shaved with an electric shaver as closely as possible.
- Intradermal induction: On the next day, 0.1 mL of each intradermal sensitiser used in this study was intradermally administered to the induction sites (A, B and C) within the 2 x 4 cm area.
- Topical induction: On day 6 after intradermal induction, the same area was clipped and shaved with an electric clipper and shaver and 0.2 mL of white petroleum containing 10 % SLS was applied (to D (2 x 4 cm)) between the intradermal induction sites. On the next day, this area was cleaned with absorbent cotton soaked with ether, 0.2 mL of each topical sensitiser was applied to a patch 2 x 4 cm and the patch was applied to the induction area (D) and covered occlusively with a polyethylene film tape for topical induction. The patch was removed 48 hours after application.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Site: Twenty days after intradermal induction, fur of the left flank (approximately 3 x 7 cm) of all animals was clipped with an electric clipper and further shaved with an electric shaver as closely as possible. On the next day, 3 sites (E to G) for challenge were provided for each animal and 0.1 mL of each substance for challenge test suspensions at 2 concentrations (50 and 25 % w/w) and polyethene glycol was applied via a patch 1.5 cm in diameter, which was fixed in place with a polyethylene film tape for 24 hours for occlusive application of challenge.
- Exposure period: 24 hours.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): Observations of the application sites were made 24 hours and 48 hours after removal of the application for challenge and skin reactions were scored and recorded.

OBSERVATIONS
-Animals were observed for clinical signs once daily for the duration of the study (Day 0 to Day 24).
-Animals were weighed on the starting day (Day 0), the day of topical induction (Day 7), the day of challenge (Day 21) and the final observation day (Day 24).
-Observations of skin reactions were performed at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the challenge application. Skin reactions were scored according to the following:
0 = No visible change
1 = Discrete or patchy erythema
2 = Moderate and confluent erythema
3 = Intense erythema and swelling

EVALUATION
-For each application challenge site the severity of skin reaction was scored, the mean score for each test group at each observation time point was calculated and the positive reaction rate [(the number of animals with a score of 1 or above) / (the number of animals used) x 100] was determined. The sensitisation potential of the test material was assessed by comparison of the mean score and positive reaction rate between the test material and control groups.
-The test material was judged to be positive if the mean score and the positive reaction rate were higher in the test material group.
Challenge controls:
50 and 25 % for 24 hours exposure.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
No positive control group was provided in this study but 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) study data has been conducted at the test facility. Clear sensitisation potential of MBT was observed and thus the experimental procedure used in the facility is appropriate.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Preliminary studies

-Intradermal injection: Erythema of score 2 or 1 was observed at concentrations 25 and 10 % w/w and erythema score of 1 was observed at concentrations 5 and 1 % at 24 and 48 hours post administration in 2/2 or 1/2 animals, however necrosis was not observed. As a result the concentration for intradermal induction was set at 25 % w/w (maximum concentration with no necrosis).

-Topical induction / challenge: No skin reactions were observed at 50, 25, 10, 5, 2.5 or 1 % w/w at 24 or 48 hours after patch removal. As a result the concentration was set at the maximum applicable concentration of 50 % w/w for the topical induction.

Main Study Treatment Group

There were no skin reactions in the observation at 24 or 48 hours after removal of the application in any animal at 50 or 25 % test material dose. The mean score was therefore 0 and the positive reaction rate was 0 %. There was no reaction in any animal to the vehicle so positive reaction rate for the vehicle group was also 0 %.

Control group

There were no skin reactions in the observation at 24 or 48 hours after removal of the application in any animal so reaction rate was 0 % for both 25 and 50 % test material dosage.

Observations:

- Clinical observations: Animals were observed for clinical signs once daily from the starting day of induction (Day 0) to the end of skin observation after challenge (Day 24). During the study period, there were no abnormalities in clinical signs observed.

- Body weight: all animals were weighed on the starting day of induction (Day 0), day of topical induction (Day 7), day of challenge (Day 21) and the final day of observation (Day 24). At the final day of observation (Day 24), a body weight decrease in comparison with previous value (Day 21) was observed in 3/10 animals in the test material group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitising in accordance with EU criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test material is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 406 using a guinea pig maximisation test.

The study was performed in female Hartley guinea pigs and a preliminary study was performed first to determine the test material concentrations suitable for use. For the intradermal injection the maximum concentration not causing necrosis was set at 25 % w/w and for the topical induction was set at 50 % which was the maximum physically applicable concentration. The challenge application was set at 50 % (the maximum non irritating concentration) and 25 % (half thereof). In the main study animals were subjected to intradermal application on Day 0 and on Day 6 they received a topical induction which was applied for 48 hours. The challenge was performed on Day 20 and was applied for 24 hours with observations at 24 and 48 hours post removal.

No skin reactions were observed in the test material treatment group after challenge at either 50 or 25 % w/w concentration, the mean score was 0 and the positive reaction rate was 0 %. The same results were seen in the control group. In clinical signs and bodyweight data there were no abnormalities that were thought to be attributable to application of the test material. The positive control data showed that the experimental procedure was valid.

Under the conditions of this study it was concluded that the test material had no skin sensitisation potential.
