Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The chemical 4-amino-3-nitrophenol (CAS no: 610-81-1) was considered to be not sensitizing on female Hartley albino guinea pigs skin.
Executive summary:

The sensitizing potential of 4-amino-3-nitrophenol (CAS no: 610-81-1) was studied in a guinea pig maximization study on female Hartley albino guinea pigs (5 in a control group, 10 in the test group).

 

During induction, the test group received 3 symmetrical intradermal injections of 0.1 mL that consisted of Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) and distilled water (1:1 vol/vol), 4-amino-3- nitrophenol diluted to 10% in distilled water, and 4-amino-3-

nitrophenol diluted to 10% in mixture 1:1 (vol/vol) with FCA and distilled water. Adequate controls were used.

 

The guinea pigs were not treated for a period of 6 days and then were reclipped at the injection sites. Because the material did not produce local irritation, the test areas of both the control and treated animals were coated with 0.5 mL of sodium lauryl sulfate at 10% in liquid petrolatum to produce irritation. After 24 hours, the treated group was patched with 0.5 mL of 4-amino-3-nitrophenol diluted to 50% for 48 hours. The control group was patched with 0.5 mL of distilled water.

 

After an 11-day rest period, both groups of guinea pigs were clipped on the dorsolumbar region. Occlusive patches with 0.2 mL of 4-amino-3-nitrophenol at the maximal nonirritant concentration and a lower concentration were applied to all animals for a period of 24 hours. At 24 and 48 hours after challenge patch removal, the skin was observed for cutaneous reactions.

 

Because of the dyeing properties of the test substance, assessment of erythema was impossible. No edematous reactions were observed. The researchers concluded that 4-amino-3-nitrophenol was not sensitizing by contact with guinea pig skin.

 

Therefore the chemical 4-amino-3-nitrophenol (CAS no: 610-81-1) was considered to be not sensitizing onfemale Hartley albino guinea pigs’ skin.
