Description of key information

In an in vivo GLP guideline study conducted according to US EPA Test Guideline OPPTS 870.2600 (2003) with 20 young adult male Hartley albino Guinea pigs, the test substance was non-irritating and produced no signs of a sensitization response in any of the animals tested. Therefore, the substance was determined to not meet the criteria for classification as a skin sensitizer.

There are no data on which to assess respiratory sensitisation. However, the absence of skin sensitization or reports of respiratory sensitization on related compounds, including Sevofllurane used as a surgical anesthetic, suggest that the potential for this substance to be a respiratory sensitizer is very low.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: A preliminary irritation test was peformed on 4 animials to determine the highest non-irritating concentration (HNIC). The HNIC selected for the challenge phase was 100%.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 1 group of 20 animals exposed once per week for 3 weeks.
- Control group: 1 group of 10 unexposed animals served as the naive control group.
- Site: left side
- Frequency of applications: Once per week
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 27 days after first induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 1 group of 20 animals exposed once
- Control group: 1 group of 10 animals
- Site: Right
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after challenge application

Challenge controls:
A group of 10 animals, unexposed during the induction phase, served as a naive control group. These control animals were exposed during the challenge phase the same as the test animals.
Positive control substance(s):
yes

Additional information:

There are no data on which to assess respiratory sensitisation. However, the absence of skin sensitization or reports of respiratory sensitization on related compounds, including Sevofllurane used as a surgical anesthetic, suggest that the potential for this substance to be a respiratory sensitizer is very low.
