Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Due to technical error, animal #25820 (test group) was inadvertently dosed on a naive site on the right flank rather than on the left flank for the 1st, 2nd abd 3rd inductions an over all induction then dosed on the left flank for the challenge phase
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 870.2600 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The study was conducted prior to the LLNA method becoming the default approach for skin sensitisation under EU chemical control legislation. At the time of conducting this study, the Buehler method was considered the most appropriate test to assess skin sensitisation potential.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A group of animals (x4) was used to determine the highest non-irritating concentration (HNIC) of the test substance prior to dosing. The fur was removed by clipping the dorsal area and flanks of each guinea pig. This area was divided into four test sites on each animal. The test substance was applied neat (100 % w/w) and also diluted with mineral oil to yield w/w concentrations of 75 %, 50 % and 25 %. Each concentration was applied (0.4 mL) to a test site using an occlusive 25 mm Hiltop Chamber. The sites were wrappes with non-allergenic Durapore adhesive tape. After 6 hours of exposure, the chambers were removed and the test sites were cleansed of any residue substance. Approximately 24 hours after application, each site was evaluated for erythema.

Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA). Testing completed on 04 March 2005.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Induction Phase (HCA applied Undiluted): Very faint to faint (0.5 - 1) erythema was noted for all positive control test sites during the induction phase.
Challenge Phase Positive Control (75:25 HCA:Mineral Oil): 4/9 positive control animals exhibited signs of sensitisation response (faint erythema [1]) 24 and 48 hours after challenge. Very faint erythema (0.5) was noted for four other sites after challenge.
Challenge Phase Naive Control (75:25 HCA:Mineral Oil): Very faint erythema (0.5) was noted for three of five positive control naive test sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at one of these sites through 48 hours.

Induction Phase - Test Animals (100 % w/w test item)

Very faint to faint erythema (0.5 -1) was noted at all test sites during the induction phase. An increase in irritation was evident at all sites after each successive application with desquamation present at most sites following the third and sixth inductions. Due to the severity of irritation, the dose sites were relocated to naive sited at various intervals throughout the induction phase.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

A dermal sensitisation test was conducted with guinea pigs (OECD 406 - Buehler Method, 1992).  The undiluted test substance was topically applied to twenty healthy test guinea pigs, three times per week, for a three week induction period.  Twenty-eight days after the first induction dose, a challenge dose of the test item at its highest non-irritating concentration (50 % w/w) was applied to a naive site on each guinea pig.  A control group was treated with the test substance at challenge only.  Twenty four and 48 h after each induction and chellenge dose, the animals were scored for erythema.

Induction Phase (100 % test item): Very faint to faint erythema (0.5-1) was noted at all test sites during the induction phase.  Due to cumulative increase in irritation, the dose sites were relocated to other sites throughout the induction phase.

Challenge Phase (50 % test item):  Very faint erythema (0.5) was noted for five of twenty test sites after challenge.  Irritation persisted at one of these sites through 48 hours.   No positive responses evident.

Induction Phase (Control): Very faint erythema (0.5) was noted at six of the ten control sites 24 hours after challenge.  Irritation cleared from all affected sites by 48 hours. No positive responses evident.

The study met all relevant validation criteria.
