Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The dorsal areas of two male and two females were closely short and shaved with an electric razor. 0.1 ml of several test dilutions were then injected. The concentrations tested were 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 %(m/v) of test substance in corn oil. These animals were observed for the next few days for toxicity. An additional two males and two females were exposed to 0.3 ml of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 50.0% of test substance in corn oil dermally for 24 hrs. At 24 and 48 hrs the animals were examined for signs of skin irritation.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: two
- Test groups: The test group was first exposed by intradermal injection in the shoulder region. They were each given two injections of 0.1 ml each of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA), 0.05% test substance in corn oil, and 0.05% of test substance in 50:50 FCA/corn oil. One week later, these same animals were given a dermal induction. The same area of skin was shaved. 0.3 ml of 5% test substance in corn oil was applied to a 4x4 cm2 patch of filter paper. This was applied to the skin and covered with Sleek dressing, which was then covered with Poroplast elastic adhesive bandage. Exposure was for 48 hrs.
- Control group: Control animals were treated in similar fashion with vehicle only.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after the topical induction
- Exposure period: 24 hrs
- Test groups: 0.1 ml of 2.5% test substance in corn oil was placed on a 3x3 cm2 piece of filter paper. A similarly sized piece of adhesive tape was used to cover it, and secured with Poroplast elastic adhesive bandage. Patches were removed after 24 hrs.
- Control group: Control group was exposed in a similar fashion.
- Site: flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): Sites were evaluated immediately after removal, and at 24 and 48 hrs after removal. Sites were scored using the Draize scale.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not sensitising to skin.
Executive summary:

A group of 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs were used to determine the potential of the test substance to be sensitising to skin. The animals were first given an intradermal induction of 0.05% of test substance in corn oil. One week later, they were given a dermal induction of 5% test substance in corn oil. A group of 5 male and 5 female guinea pigs were used as controls. These animals were treated in a similar fashion with vehicle only. Two weeks after the dermal induction, a challenge was performed via dermal exposure to 2.5% test substance in corn oil. The control group was exposed as well. The animals were exposed for 24 hrs. Skin irritation readings were made at 24 and 48 hrs after the end of exposure. No positive responses were seen in either the test or control group. The test substance is not sensitising to skin.
