601-327-7
Cas Number:
114772-54-2
Molecular formula:
C14H10BrN
IUPAC Name:
4'-(bromomethyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carbonitrile
Details on test material:
Test substance: SR 48941
Batch no. 5ARL002
Description: beige powder
Quantity and container: 60 g in one glass flask and 10 g in one glass flask
Date of receipt: 29 November 1995
Storage conditions: at room temperature

Preparation
The test substance was prepared at appropriate concentrations in the vehicule or Freund's complete adjuvant.
It was finely pulverised before being incorporated in the vehicle of adjuvant.
All preparations were made freshly on the morning of administration and any unused material was discarded that same day.

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:

Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Number: 30 animals ( 15 males and 15 nulliparous and non-pregnant females)
Allocation of the animals to the groups on day-1, the animals were weighted and randomly allocated to two groups; a control group 1 consisting of ten animals (five males and five females) and a treated group 2 consisting of 20 animals (ten males and ten females).
- Source: Centre d'Elevage Lebeau, 78950 Gambais, France
- Age at study initiation: approximately three months old
- Weight at study initiation: 413 +/- 26 g for the males and 402 +/- 32 g for the females.
- Housing: housed individually in polycarbonate cages ( 48 cm x 27 cm x 20 cm) equipped with a polypropylene bottle. The housing conditions (temperature, relative humidity and ventilation) were checked monthly.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): free access to "106 diet".
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Drinking water filtered by a F.G. Millipore membrane (0.22 micron)
Bacteriological and chemical analysis of the water and diet and detection of possible contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals and nitrosamines) are performed periodically. It was verified that no contaminants in the diet or water at levels likely to influence the outcome of the study were present.
- Acclimation period: at least five days before the beginning of the study.
- Identification of the animals: ear-tattoo

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- temperature: 21 +/- 2 °C
- relative humidity: 30 to 70 %
- light/dark cycle: 12h/12h
- ventilation: about 12 cycles/hour of filtered, non-recycled air.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of the test substance SR 48941 at a concentration of 10 % (w/w) were observed in all guinea-pigs.
