- Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- No skin sensitisation data are available for S261A. However, in a reliable study with the structurally-related material, benzyl butyl phthalate, no skin sensitisation was seen in guinea pigs after intradermal induction and epicutaneous challenge.
- Executive summary:
No skin sensitisation data are available for S261A. However, in a skin sensitisation study with the structurally-related material, benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), induction involved intradermal injection of a 200 µl volume of BBP (1 mM) with Freunds Complete Adjuvant into the four footpads (50 µl/footpad) of each of 4 guinea pigs. Fourteen days later, epicutaneous challenges with 50 µl volumes of three concentrations of BBP (3.6, 36 and 360 mM) and of the vehicle (acetone/corn oil) were applied to the shaved abdominal skin of each animal. The skin was washed after 18 hours and skin reactions were read 24 and 48 hours after the start of the challenge exposure. Approximately 5 weeks later, a rechallenge using the highest concentration was made and skin reactions read at 48 hours. Four guinea pigs were treated with a positive control substance, 2,4 -dinitrofluorobenzene, in the same way.
No skin sensitisation reactions were seen at any of the challenge sites in any of the BBP animals at either challenge or rechallenge. Clear positive responses were seen in the positive controls animals.
In a reliable study, no skin sensitisation was seen in guinea pigs after intradermal induction and epicutaneous challenge with benzyl butyl phthalate.
No positive skin reactions were seen at 24 or 48 hours after challenge in the groups of 4 animals treated with concentrations of 3.6 or 36 mM Santicizer 160.
