RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration:
The following test concentrations were administered to the flanks of 2 guinea pigs:
25.0 % in deionized water; 5.0 % in deionized water; 1.0 % in deionized water

0.5 mL of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was fixed to the flank and covered occlusively for 24 h with a bandage and film. 24 h after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and edema.

Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections:
The following preparations were administered twice by intradermal injection to 2 guinea pigs:
Site 1. 2X0.1 mL 5.0 % in deionized water
Site 2. 2X0.1 mL 1.0 % in deionized water
Site 3. 2X0.1 mL 0.2 % in deionized water

24, 48, 72 and 96 h after administration the injection sites were examined for local tolerance.

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 25 %

The intradermal injections with FCA (with and without test substance) caused well-defined up to severe erythema and
oedema as well as indurations and encrustations. The administration sites treated with the test substance in
deionized water showed well-defined up to severe erythema and oedema. Intradermal injections of the vehicle alone
exhibited no signs of irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Testing for sensitizing properties of Diamantechtrot BT was performed in female guinea pigs according to the method of MAGNUSSON & KLIGMAN.
Based on the results of this study Diamantechtrot BT showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.
Executive summary:

Testing for sensitizing properties of Diamantechtrot BT was performed in female guinea pigs according to the method of MAGNUSSON & KLIGMAN.

Intradermal induction was performed using 5 % Diamantechtrot BT in deionized water.

Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 25 % Diamantechtrot BT in deionized water.

The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde for the maximization test (report number 99.0220, dated May 14, 1999; Hoechst Marion Roussel Deutschlang GmbH, ProTox).

Under the conditions of the present study, none of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure.

Based on the results of this study Diamantechtrot BT showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.
