Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The data requirements as laid down in the REACH regulation Annex VII, foresee “the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) as the first choice method for in vivo testing. Only in exceptional circumstances should another test be used. Justification for the use of another in vivo test (e.g. Guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT)) shall be provided.

The poor solubility (see water solubility) and the granulometry of the test item manganese phosphate, topical application to the mouse ear was difficult to achieve. Due to the difficult feasibility of the LLNA assay, it was decided to perform the GPMT assay, which allows to assess the skin sensitising properties of difficult to test substances.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The appropriate test material concentrations for intradermal and epicutaneous induction and epicutaneous challenge exposures were determined in a preliminary test using 6 additional FCA-treated animals.
For intradermal exposure, animals were given the test material at 5, 2.5, 1 and 0.5% suspensions in water by intradermal injections (0.1 mL). Animals were examined for signs of skin irritation at 24 and 48 h post-injection according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.
For topical exposure, animals were treated with the test material at 100, 50 and 25% in distilled water for 24 h under occlusive conditions. Irritation responses were assessed at 24 and 48 h after patch and substance removal.
Based on the results of the preliminary test (see Table 1), in the main test, 0.5% test material in water and 100% test material moistened with water were selected for intradermal and topical treatment, respectively.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections 0.1 mL)
Injection 1: 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: 0.5% test substance in water
Injection 3: 0.5% test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
- Negative control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections, each 0.1 mL)
Injection 1: 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: water
Injection 3: 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

Epicutaneous:
Test group: test substance at 100%
Negative control: water

- Site: scapular region (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: single
- Duration: Days 0-8 (on Day 6, one day prior to epicutaneous induction, the shorn skin of all animals in each group was treated with 0.5 mL of 10% sodium lauryl sulphate vaseline, in order to create a local irritation).

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 (challenge)
- Day(s) of challenge: 21 (challenge)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 100% test substance moistened with water
- Control group: 100% test substance moistened with water
- Site: flank region
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72 h
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
hexyl cinnamic acid (CAS No 101-86-0, routinely evaluated every 6 month at challenge concentrations of 55% in vaseline)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Hexyl cinnamic acid (at challenge concentration of 55% in vaseline) induced skin sensitisation reactions in 90% of the treated animals.
