FAT 11127/C was to be evaluated for Skin sensitization potential according to Guinea pig Maximization test as described in OECD Guideline 406. For the intradermal induction application at the start of the study, a 5 % suspension of FAT 11127/C in NaCl (0.9 %) was used. After this application, a moderate skin reaction was observed, as had previously been seen in a pretest performed in two animals. However, within one week of the intradermal induction, the skin of the neck region and therefore limbs became bluish and on day 9 severe ulceration was observed in most animals of the test group. One male of the test group died on day 8. On day 9, the Study Director decided to terminate the study for animal welfare reasons. Two animals were sent to histopathology. Hence, it was concluded that intradermal injection of FAT 11127/C resulted in severe ulcerative effects in this test. A pretest with epidermal application of FAT 11127/C showed only mild skin reactions. Therefore, a Buehler test is recommended instead of the Maximisation test.

Pathology

The results of the gross pathological and histopathological examination of the skin and axillary lymph node in the two animals sacrificed in moribund condition on study day 9 are presented below.

 

Macroscopical findings:Ulceration and a scab formation of the skin of animals sacrificed.

Additionally, in the female no. 96, the axillary lymph node was reported as enlarged. The spleen was reported as large in both animals, but, upon request of the sponsor, no histopathological examination was performed.

 

Microscopical findings:

The skin was found to be moderately ulcerated in both animals. Furthermore, the subcutaneous tissue revealed a marked abscess formation, accompanied by a moderate chronic inflammation of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue in both guinea pigs and a dermal necrosis in the male no. 89. The epidermis was moderately acanthotic and showed a minimal to moderate paraketosis in both animals, in the female no. 96 also associated with a moderate epidermal hyperkeratosis.

 

Axillary lymph node:

The axillary lymph nodes were found to be activated and were given the diagnosis of a 'chronic reactive hyperplasia' which was minimal in male no. 89 and moderate in female no. 96.

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Executive summary:

FAT 11127/C was to be evaluated for Skin sensitization potential according to Guinea pig Maximization test as described in OECD Guideline 406.

 

For the intradermal induction application at the start of the study, a 5 % suspension of FAT 11127/C in NaCl (0.9 %) was used. After this application, a moderate skin reaction was observed, as had previously been seen in a pretest performed in two animals. However, within one week of the intradermal induction, the skin of the neck region and therefore limbs became bluish and on day 9 severe ulceration was observed in most animals of the test group. One male of the test group died on day 8.

 

On day 9, the Study Director decided to terminate the study for animal welfare reasons.

Conclusion

Intradermal injection of FAT 11127/C resulted in severe ulcerative effects in this test.

A pretest with epidermal application of FAT 11127/C showed only mild skin reactions. Therefore, a Buehler test is recommended instead of the Maximisation test.

Conclusions:
FAT 11127/C did not show skin-sensitizing potential in albino guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The test substance FAT 11127/C was tested for skin sensitization potential according to Buehler test as described in OECD Guideline 406. The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively.

 

Epidermal induction consisted of three epidermal occlusive substance applications on the same skin site for 6 hours each (weeks 1 to 3) at concentration of 50 % test substance in distilled water, a rest period of 13 to 15 days, followed by a challenge period (at test substance concentration of 30 % in distilled water) with epidermal occlusive application of the test article for 6 hours (week 5).

 

No animal of the test group was sensitized by FAT 11127/C under the experimental conditions employed. Hence, FAT 11127/C is considered to have not shown skin-sensitizing potential in albino guinea pigs.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

FAT 11127/C was to be evaluated for skin sensitization potential according to Guinea pig Maximization test (OECD Guideline 406). However, intradermal injections of FAT 11127/C resulted in severe ulcerative effects in this test. Hence, the study was terminated. A pretest with epidermal application of FAT 11127/C showed only mild skin reactions. Therefore, a Buehler test was carried out. In this Buehler test, epidermal induction consisted of three epidermal occlusive applications on the same skin site for 6 hours each (weeks 1 to 3) at concentration of 50 % test substance in distilled water, a rest period of 13 to 15 days, followed by a challenge period (at test substance concentration of 30 % in distilled water) with epidermal occlusive application of the test article for 6 hours (week 5). No animal of the test group was sensitized by FAT 11127/C under the experimental conditions employed. Hence, FAT 11127/C is considered to have not shown skin-sensitizing potential in albino guinea pigs.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

FAT 11127/C is considered to have not shown skin-sensitizing potential when tested in the Buehler assay, hence it does not need to be classified for sensitisation as per the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
