Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
p-menthane hydroperoxide
IUPAC Name:
p-menthane hydroperoxide
Details on test material:
commercial sample which is a mixture of p-menthane-1-hydroperoxide and p-menthane-8-hydroperoxide

Method

Type of population:
other: patients with known turpentine oil allergy
Ethical approval:
confirmed, but no further information available
Subjects:
11 volunteers 27-64 year
8 males, 3 females
Clinical history:
no data except on turpentine oil allegy
Controls:
controls were not included in the experiment, but were stated to have been included to assess the irritant concentration of 1% test susbtance
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
Subjects were exposed to 0.1% and 0.4% of the test substance in parafin oil. 48 hours after exposure skin reactions were measured.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
0.4% challenge
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 1 (+ 2 marginally reactions)
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 8

0.1% challenge
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 11

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
very weak sensitizer under the conditions of the test
Executive summary:

Eleven subjects with known allegic reaction to turpentene oil were challenged with 0.1% and 0.4% test substance. With 0.4% very slight effects were seen. A challenge with 0.1% did not induce any effects. The test substance is considered a very weak sensitizer under the conditions of the test.
