Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Guinea pig topical sensitisation test
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
other: guinea pig topical sensitisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Study was carried out before LLNA was considered a requirement. It is considered sufficient for the endpoint, so there was no need for an additional LLNA study, which would involve more animals.

Benzyl penicillin

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
At 24 hours, only 2/9 animals treated with Benzyl Penicillin gave positive results. This increased to 5/9 animals at 48 hours. This is a low result for the positive control substance, as sensitisation usually occurs in >80% of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Skin sensitising potential of 1132/4 DMF (CQ Intermediate) is low, but cannot be ignored.
Over 20% of the animals showed positive responses to the challenge after 48 hours, which is sufficient to classify the substance as a Skin Sensitiser Category 1, according to the criteria set for animal studies in section 3.4.2.2.4.1 of Annex I of the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of 0/4 dihydrochloride dihydrate, 1132/4 DMF and 1132/4 bis hydrochloride was assessed in the guinea pig topical sensitisation test. The results indicate that repeated contact of the human skin with 0/4 dihydrochloride dihydrate might produce contact dermatitis. The contact allergenic potential of 1132/4 DMF although low, cannot be ignored, and that of 1132/4 bis hydrochloride, if any, is very low.
