RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Intradermal injections: 100%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, and 1% v/v in light liquid paraffin. 1 guinea-pig pre-treated 7 d before with 4 intradermal injections of 1:1 FCA/water. The highest concentration which produced an acceptable localised response at each injection site was 25%.
- Topical induction and challenge: 100%, 50%, 25% and 12.5% v/v in ethanol. 4 guinea-pigs pre-treated with FCA/water as described above. Undiluted test article was found to be non-irritant when applied topically and was therefore selected for the topical induction phase of the main study. Undiluted test article and a 50% v/v concentration of the test article in ethanol were selected for the challenge concentrations.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2, intradermal injections and topical application
- Exposure period: 48h for topical application
- Test groups:
INTRADERMAL: 3 pairs of intradermal injection (0.1 mL) on Day 0 as follows:
- 1/ 50% v/v FCA/distilled water
- 2/ test substance 25% in light liquid paraffin
- 3/ test substance 25% in 50:50 distilled water/FCA
Six days after the intradermal induction, as the undiluted test material was non-irritant, the test area of all test and control animal was treated topically with 0.5 mL of 10 % sodium lauryl sulphate in light liquid paraffin in order to produce irritation.
TOPICAL: 7 days after intradermal injections, the test substance (100%) was applied (patches of Whatman No. 3 filter paper, 4cm x 2cm) and covered with a strip of "Blenderm" surgical tape secured in place and wrapped with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive bandage (occlusive tape).
- Control group: similarly treated with the exception that the ethanol was topically applied instead of the test substance
- Site: shaved dorsal area between the shoulders

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 d after the topical induction application, i.e. 21 d after study initiation
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: 100% on the anterior aspect of the left flank, 50% v/v in ethanol on the posterior aspect of the left flank. Similarly treated than topical induction (patches 2cm x 2 cm)
- Control group: similarly treated with the exception that the test substance was omitted
- Site: left flanks
- Concentrations: 100% and 50% v/v in ethanol
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): approximately 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.
Challenge controls:
None
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Benzocaine

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Ethyl p amino benzoate (Benzocaine) was used as a positive control as this is known to be a mild to moderate sensitiser. The material was administered as a 1 % concentration in propylene glycol for the intradermal injections and a 4 % concentration in acetone for the topical induction. Challenge was conducted at concentrations of 4 % and 3 % in acetone. This positive control study took place during the period from 1993-07-07 to 1993-07-31.
Three animals in the test group gave positive response to 4 % benzocaine resulting in a response incidence of 30 %. Neither challenge concentration elicited a response in any control animal at any of the observation times during the study. These results confirm that benzocaine is a mild to moderate sensitizer under the conditions of this study and the test system is therefore considered to be validated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, ST 06 C 93 is not classified as a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitisation study performed according to the EU test method B.6 and in compliance with GLP, ST 06 C 93 was tested in female Hartley guinea-pigs using the Guinea-Pig Maximisation Test method (20 treated animals + 10 controls).

The preliminary study determined the concentration to be used for the induction and challenge phases of the main study.

 

ST 06 C 93 diluted in light liquid paraffin at 25% (v/v) was administered by injection for intradermal induction. As the substance was not a skin irritant, 24 hours prior to the topical application, the site was pre-treated with 0.5 mL 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in light liquid paraffin. Topical induction was performed with the test material as supplied, 7 days after intradermal injections. For the challenge, 21 days after study initiation, it was tested at 100% and 50 % v/v in ethanol.

 

ST 06 C 93 produces evidence of skin sensitisation in one animal at 100 %, resulting in a response incidence of 5 %.

 

No response was exhibited by any animal of the control group.

 

The historical positive control, benzocaine, produces evidence of skin sensitisation in three of ten animal at 100 %, resulting in a response incidence of 30 %.These results confirmed that benzocaine is a mild to moderate sensitiser under the conditions of this study and the test system was therefore considered to be validated.

 

Under the test conditions, ST 06 C 93 is not classified according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for sensitisation endpoint.
