RANGE FINDING TESTS:

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
One day 1, 6 intradermal injections (0.1 ml) were made per animal
Controls: Freuds complete adjuvant (FCA) (50 % in aqueous NaCl 0.9 %)); Vehicle; FCA + Vehicle + 50 % aqueous NaCl (0.9 %)

On day 7, 0.5 % sodiumlauryl sulfate in vaseline (10%) was applied dermally to provoke irritation
On day 8, 0.5 ml of the undiluted isobornyl methacrylate was applied dermally to the 6 injection areas

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
After day 22, 0.5 ml of the undiluted test substance (maximum non-irritant concentration) was applied and kept occluded
Scoring was performed after 24hrs and 48 hrs.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Dinitro-2,4-chlorobenzene

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of a fully valid Guinea pig maximisation test (OECD 406, GLP), Isobornyl methacrylate is not considered to be a skin sensitizer.
EU-GHS classification: not sensitizing
Executive summary:

Isobornyl methacrylate was tested for it's sensitising potential in Guinea pigs in an OECD 406 GLP study. In the test group, 10 male and 10 female animals were treated via intradermal injection with 0.1 ml of isobornyl methacrylate (50 % in paraffin oil) in presence of Freuds complete adjuvant. At day 8, 0.5 ml of the undiluted test substance was applied cutaneously to the injection sites for 48 hours (occlusive dressing). After a period of 12 days without treatment, a 24 hr-challenge occlusive cutaneous application of 0.5 ml of the vehicle (left flank) and 0.5 ml of the undiluted isobornyl methacrylate was performed. The cutaneous reactions were scored 24 hrs and 48 hrs after removal of the dressing.

No cutaneous reactions were recorded in all test animals.

The sensitivity of the test animals was confirmed by use of 2,4-Dinitrobenzene (0.1 % and 0.5 %). The sensitisation response was 100 %.

Based on the results of this study, Isobornyl methacrylate is not considered to be a skin sensitizer.
