MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 intradermal and topical
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 ml volume are given in the shoulder region which is cleared of hair so that one of each pair lies on each side of the midline.
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: 7 days
- Concentrations:
Day 0: Intradermal application:
Test animals (20): 0.1 ml mixture (1:1) FCA and H2O ; 0.1 ml 0.5% test substance in corn oil ; 0.1 ml 0.5% test substance in FCA:H2O (1:1).
Control animals (10): 0.1 ml mixture (1:1) FCA and H2O ; 0.1 ml corn oil ; 0.1 ml FCA:H2O (1:1).
Day 7: Topical application:
Test group: A filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was fully-loaded with test substance applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Control animals: Corn oil was applied in the similair manner

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 7 & 21
- Exposure period: 2 days
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Concentrations: All animals: A patch loaded with the test substance is applied to one flank of the animals and a patch with the vehicle only was applied to the other flank. The patches are held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours (1st challenge) and 24 hours (2nd challenge)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24h and 48h

OTHER: Approximately twenty-four hours before the topical induction application, the test area was treated with 10% SDS in vaseline, in order to create a local irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
Titanium 2,2´,2´´-nitrilotrisethanolate demonstrated no sensitizing effect on the skin of female guinea pigs in the Magnusson-Kligman maximization test.
Executive summary:

Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 ml were given in the shoulder region of animals (20 animals).

Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

Injection 2: the 0.5% test substance in corn oil

Injection 3: the 0.5 % test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

 

Control animals were treated with similar manner

Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

Injection 2: corn oil

Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/corn oil

 

At day 6 before the topical induction application, as the substance was not a skin irritant, the test area, after shaving was handled with 10% SDS in vaseline in order to create a local irritation. At day 7 a filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was fully-loaded with 100% test substance and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. Control animals were exposed to corn oil in a similar manner.

At day 21 second challenge was conducted. A patch loaded with the 30% test substance was applied to one flank of the animals. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. At 24 hours and 48 hours skin reactions were observed and recorded according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.

At challenge no skin reactions were observed in any animals tested.
