Route:
epicutaneous, open

Initial application: undiluted; following daily applications: 50 % dilution in acetone

5 times per week, 2 weeks
Challenge
Route:
epicutaneous, open
Vehicle:
other: undiluted or in acetone
Concentration / amount:
5 % dilution in acetone
No. of animals per dose:
12 animals were used
Details on study design:
10 guinea pigs were shaved on the right and left flank. The area was about 25cm². After 4 hours, the left flank was defatted with ether. The undiluted test substance was then painted three times to the shaved skin. The subsequent daily (5 times per week) applications (10 paintings) were carried out with a 50 % solution of the test substance in acetone. During the course of this treatment, all 10 animals developed bloody crusts on the site of the application. The animals were then left untreated for 12 days and the skin changes on the left flank were able to heal. The 10 guinea pigs were then shaved again on the right and left flank. After 4 hours, the right so far untreated flank was defatted with ether and then treated with a 5 % solution of the test substance in acetone. The area was judged 12 hours after the treatment and no skin reaction was observed. 2 previously untreated animals served as controls and showed that the treatment with the 5 % solution of the test substance in acetone was not irritating to the skin.
Challenge controls:
2 previously untreated animals were used as challenge controls

Conclusions:
The repeated application of a 50 % dilution to the flank skin of 10 guinea pigs led to severe irritation of the skin resulting in necrosis formation after several days. The animals were then left untreated for 12 days and the skin changes on the left flank were able to heal. The 10 guinea pigs were then shaved again on the right and left flank. After 4 hours, the right so far untreated flank was defatted with ether and then treated with a 5 % solution of the test substance in acetone. The area was judged 12 hours after the treatment and no skin reaction was observed. 2 previously untreated animals served as controls and showed that the treatment with the 5 % solution of the test substance in acetone was not irritating to the skin.
