Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Although the study was conducted according to GLP and well documented methods, " Practical guide 10: How to avoid unnecessary testing on animals", Section 3.3.2 states it is important that the reliability indicator (Klimisch score) reflects the assumptions of similarity. Thus, a score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) should normally not be used for results derived from read-across.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: Guinea Pig Maximizatoin Test described by Magnusson B. and Kligman A.M, 1969
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Doses: concentrations of 5% intradermally (Day 1) and 10% epicutaneously (Day 8)

On day 32, all animals were sacrificed by overdose of barbiturate. Skin samples restricted to flank application sites (ie-sites given rechallenge doses) were taken and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin.

Hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections from all sampled sites of all animals were evaluated microscopically.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test

MAIN STUDY.
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 exposures (Day one-intradermal, Day 8-epicutaneous) Two 0.1 ml intradermal injections were given to each animal, one on each side of the dorsal midline.
- Exposure period:
- Test groups:
- Control group: Freund’s Complete Adjuvant diluted with an equal volume of distilled water.
- Site:
- Frequency of applications: weekly
- Duration:(injection)
- Concentrations: 5% in an emulsion formed by the mixing of the oil phase of Freund’s Complete Adjuvant with an equal volume of distilled water.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: Days 22, 29
- Exposure period:24 h
- Test groups:
- Control group:
- Site: 2x2 cm patch on right (negative control) and left flank (treatment)
- Concentrations: 10% in petrolatum. A factor of 1.09 was used in preparing doses.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48h

Any other information on results incl. tables

Post-mortem evaluation: epidermal and dermal changes typifying a contact dermatisis (slight acanthosis with very slight diffuse mononuclear cell infiltration of the upper dermis were seen in the left application sites of three animals from the treatment group. In two animals, it was associated with intraepithelial vesicle formation and positive skin reactions were recorded grossly for these two animals.

Very slight acanthosis was occasionally noted in other animals of this group as well as animals from the control group. Very slight acanthosis was judged as the result of non-specific irritation due to occlusive applications of petrolatum (vehicle).

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Losartan potassium and therefore, losartan free acid by read-across, is considered as a mild sensitiser.
Executive summary:

L-158, 086 (losartan potassium), and therefore, losartan free acid by read-across, is a considered a mild sensitizer at the concentrations tested in this study.
