RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration:
The following test concentrations were administered to the flanks of two guinea pigs:
25.0 % in deionised water
5.0 % in deionised water
1.0 % in deionised water
0.5 mL of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was fixed to the flank and covered occlusively for 24 h with a bandage and film. 24 h after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and edema.

Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections:
The following preparations were administered twice by intradermal injection to 2 guinea pigs:
Site 1. 2X0.1 mL 5.0 % in deionised water
Site 2. 2X0.1 mL 1.0 % in deionised water
Site 3. 2X0.1 mL 0.2 % in deionised water

24, 48, 72 and 96 h after administration the injection sites were examined for local tolerance.

OTHER:

The substance is considered to be sensitizing if 30 % or more of the animals in the treatment group definitely showed a positive skin reaction and at the same time no irritant effects have

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

Alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

Alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde was skin sensitiser and proved to be suitable for the determination of dermal sensitizers

Any other information on results incl. tables

Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration

No signs of irritation occurred after administration of the different test concentrations.

Based on these results, a concentration of 25.0 % test substance in deionised water was chosen for the challenge at Day 22.

Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections

The intradermal injections with the 5.0 % and 1.0 % preparation caused clear edema and erythema. The intradermal injections with the 0.2 % preparation caused slight edema and erythema.

Based on this preliminary test, a 5.0 % preparation was selected for the intradermal injections in the main test.

 

Main test for the sensitizing properties

Body weight gains and clinical signs: 

The body weight gains of the animals were not impaired.

The treated animals showed no clinical signs of intoxication throughout the study

Intradermal induction treatment

The intradermal injections with Freund's Adjuvant (with and without test substance) caused severe erythema and edema as well as indurations and encrustations. The administration sites treated with the test substance in deionized water showed clear erythema and edema as well as indurations and encrustations. Intradermal injections of the vehicle alone exhibited no signs of irritation.

Due to these strong irritation reactions of the skin, 10% sodium dodecylsulfate was not administered at Day 7.

 

Dermal induction treatment

After the removal of the patches at day 10, severe erythema and edema, indurated, scabbed and encrusted skin as well as necrosis were observed at the sites previously treated with Freund's Adjuvant. The administration sites treated with the test substance in deionized water showed dear erythema and edema as well as indurations and encrustations. Intradermal injections of the vehicle alone exhibited no signs of irritation.

Dermal challenge treatment

No skin reactions were observed in the control and the treatment group 24 and 48 h after removal of the occlusive bandage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test substance showed no evidence for sensitizing properties in guinea pigs.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the sensitizing potential of the test substance in female Pirbright-White guinea pigs (Magnusson & Kligman method) according EU Method B.6. and OECD guideline 406 in compliance with GLP.

Intradermal induction was performed using 5 % test substance in deionised water. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 25 % test substance in deionised water.

The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde for the maximization test.

Under the test conditions, the test substance showed no evidence for sensitizing properties in guinea pigs.
