RANGE FINDING TESTS:

Selection of Concentration for Intradermal Induction:

Four animals were intradermally injected with preparations of the material (25%, 10%, 5% or 1% w/v in dried arachis oil B.P). The highest concentration that caused only mild to moderate skin irritation and was well tolerated systemically, was selected for the intradermal induction stage of the main study.

Selection of Concentration for Topical Induction:

Two guinea pigs (intradermally injected with Freund's Complete Adjuvant nine days earlier) were treated with the undiluted test material and three preparations of the test material (75%, 50% and 25% w/v in dried arachis oil B.P). The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation after a 48-hour occlusive exposure, was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study.

Selection of Concentration for Topical Challenge:

The undiluted test material and three preparations of the test material (75%, 50% and % 25% w/v in dried arachis oil B.P.) were applied occlusively to the flanks of two guinea pigs for a period of 24 hours. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test material and one lower concentration were selected for the topical challenge stage of the main study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated produced a sensitization rate of 0% (0/20). Based on the results of this study, 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated is not considered to be a skin sensitizer in the guinea pig.
Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test (Driscoll, R., 1995; Klimisch score = 1), 38 albino female Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were dermally exposed to 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated. Following a preliminary screening study, concentrations of 25% w/v in dried Arachis Oil B.P. were selected for the intradermal injection during the induction phase. Topical induction was also conducted in this study and the test material was administered as supplied. For the challenge phase concentrations of 100% (undiluted) and 50% w/v in dried Arachis Oil B.P. were topically administered to the guinea pigs two weeks post topical induction. Animals were observed daily for signs of ill health and toxicity. Body weights were recorded individually and dermal reactions to intradermal injections and topical applications during induction and challenge were also observed for. Challenge sites were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of patches.

 

There was no adverse treatment-related effect seen in the animals through the study period. Bodyweight gains of guinea pigs in the test group, between Day 0 and Day 24, were comparable to those observed in the control group animals over the same period. Well-defined erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of seven control group animals at the 24-hour observation and persisted at the intradermal induction sites of six control group animals at the 48-hour observation. Post topical induction, well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of three test group animals with very slight erythema noted at the induction sites of seventeen test group animals at the 1-hour observation. Bleeding at the intradermal injection sites was noted in three test group animals. Very slight erythema was noted at the induction sites of six test group animals at the 24-hour observation. No skin reactions were noted at the treatment sites of the control group animals at the 1 and 24-hour observations. At challenge, for the undiluted test material, no skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at the challenge site of one control group animal at the 24-hour observation. No skin reactions were noted in the control group animals at the 48-hour observation. At challenge, for the 75% w/v concentration, no skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test and control group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations.

 

1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated produced a sensitization rate of 0% (0/20). Based on the results of this study, 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated is not considered to be a skin sensitizer in the guinea pig.
