Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

Niacinamide (CAS No: -98-92-0) was considered to be not-irritating on guinea pigs in the preliminary irritation tests performed for the sensitization study.

Executive summary:

Preliminary irritation test was performed for Niacinamide(CAS No: -98-92-0) in guinea pigs to determine the concentration suitable for the sensitization study [injection challenge concentration (ICC) and application challenge concentration(ACC)].

In the preliminary test, the guinea pigs were treated intradermally and dermally.8 previously untreated guinea pigs were (4/SEX) were injected intradermally in the clipped and shaved flanks with 0.1ml aliquots of a range of concentration of test substance in physiological saline. 24 hours later, the skin was examined for erythema and edema.The concentration giving slight but perceptible irritation with no oedema was selected as the injection challenge concentration (ICC).

Aliquots of 0.1ml using a range of concentration of the test substance in distilled water were applied in small circular areas to the shaved flanks of 4 previously untreated guinea pigs.24 hours later, the skin was examined for erythema and the highest concentration which caused no irritation was selected as the application challenge concentration (ACC).

As a result of preliminary studies, the concentration of Niacinamide at which no irritation was observed were 5% for the ICC and 20% for ACC.

Since the test chemical did not induce any cutaneous effects at these concentrations, Niacinamide(CAS No: -98-92-0) was considered to be not irritating to the skin of guinea pigs.
