Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not sensitising

Conclusions:

No sensitization effects were observed after 72 hours post challenge exposure. Hence, the test chemical can be considered as non -sensitizing to the female guinea pigs.

Executive summary:

Modified FCA method and Guinea pig maximization test was performed to evaluate the dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical. 20 female Pirbright White guinea pigs were used for the study.

.In the induction phase, the test compound was dissolved in FCA, 15 mg in 4 ml physiological saline and an emulsion was prepared by mixing the material by mean of a 5ml syringe, until emulsification was completed. The intradermal injections of 6 X 0.10-0.15 ml of this emulsion was applied in a semi circle arc on clipped and shaved shoulder from left to right in such a way that whole quantity of emulsion was used up for 10 animals. This procedure was repeated on 5^thand 9^thday, leaving a gap of 2-3 cm between the rows of injection. After induction phase of 11 days, animals were challenged by applying 0.05ml of test chemical in a sub irritant concentration, with further dilution to the clipped and shaved skin of the right flank of the treated animals, allowing 5 mins for drying. Control animals were also used. Mean Observations were made after 24, 48 and 72 hours.

No sensitization effects were observed after 72 hours post challenge exposure. Hence, the test chemical can be considered as non -sensitizing to the female guinea pigs.
