Although a concurrent positive control assay was not performed, the laboratory had obtained a positive result in a Buehler test using α-hexylcinnamaldehyde within 6 months of this test, thus validating the sensitivity of the assay protocol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test material 1-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one (CAS No: 88-12-0) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs in a Buehler test.
Executive summary:

The Buehler test was performed in guinea pigs to determine the sensitization potential of test chemical 1-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one (CAS No: 88-12-0) according to contemporary regulatory protocols under an occlusive condition.

 

During induction, 20 guinea pigs received undiluted 0.25 ml of 1-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one on the flanks under an occlusive dressing and held in place for 6 hours. The treatment occurred once per week on three successive weeks. Since 1-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one was applied without use of a vehicle, the control group of 10 guinea pigs remained untreated.

 

After 14 days of the final induction application, animals were challenged on opposite flanks to the for 6 hours under occlusive condition and application sites scored 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches.

 

No signs of irritation and no systemic toxicity were observed during the induction and challenge phase. Therefore the chemical 1-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one (CAS No: 88-12-0) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs.
