RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To identify irritant concentrations for induction phase of main study and non-irritant concentration by topical route for challenge application.
Intradermal injection - 5, 3 and 1% in ethanol. Dermal reactions assessed after 24 hours. 5% test substance in ethanol was selected for intracutaneous induction in the main study.
Epidermal application - 25, 15, 10 and 5%. Assessed for erythema and oedema 24 hours and 48 hours after exposure. 25% test substance in ethanol was selected for the main study.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal
- No. of exposures: 6 exposure sites (3 pairs) per animal
- Exposure period: 7 days

- Test groups:
i)) Freund's complete adjuvant 50:50 with physiological saline.
ii) The test article, diluted to 5% with ethanol
iii) The test article diluted to 5% by emulsion in a 50:50 mixture of Freund's complete adjuvant and physiological saline.

- Control group:
1) Freund's complete adjuvant 50:50 with physiological saline.
2) Ethanol.
3) Freund's complete adjuvant 50:50 with physiological saline.

- Site: scrapular region
- Frequency of applications: 1
- Duration: 7 days
- Concentrations: 5 % test substance in ethanol

Epidermal
On day 7 of the test and approximately 24 hours prior to the epidermal application the scapular area (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped, shaved free of hair and the test areas were pre-treated with 10% Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfate (SLS) in petrolatum oil because no primary irritation concentration could be determined in the corresponding pre-test. The SLS was massaged into the skin with a glass rod without bandaging. This SLS-concentration enhances sensitization by provoking a mild inflammatory reaction.

On day 8 a 2 x 4 cm patch of filter paper was covered with a thin layer of the selected test article concentration (25% in vaselinum album) and placed over the injection sites of the test animals. The patch was covered by aluminum foil and firmly secured by an elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk of the animal and secured with impervious adhesive tape. The dressings were left
in place for approximately 48 hours. The epidermal application procedure described ensured intensive contact of the test article.

The guinea-pigs of the control group were treated as described above with the omission of test article (vaselinum album only).
Reaction sites were assessed for erythema and oedema 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, using the numerical grading system according to Draize.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after epidermal exposure
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups:
i) non-irritant concentration of the test article (25% in vaselinum album
ii) vaselinum album only
- Control group: treated in the same way as the test groups described above.
- Site: 5 x 5 cm area on the left and right flank
- Concentrations: 25%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours
