Challenge
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: Arachis oil (first induction); vaseline (second induction and challenge)
Concentration / amount:
5 % in arachis oil for intradermal injection
50 % (w/w) in vaseline for epicutaneous induction
30% in vaseline for challenge (highest non-irritant concentration)
No. of animals per dose:

5 males and 5 males in control group
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: determination of the maximum subirritant concentration: 1, 5, 10, 30, and 50 % in vaseline. Erythema reactions were observed with 50 % TK 10594 in vaseline.

The highest dose for intradermal injection was chosen based on solubility and systemic tolerance.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (one intradermal and one epicutaneous)
- Exposure period: 48 h for epicutaneous induction

Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows:
- adjuvant (FCA)/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- test article in Oleum arachidis (w/v)
- test article in the adjuvant (FCA)/saline mixture (w/v)

In the second week of induction the test item was incorporated in vaseline and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g paste per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours).

- Control group: FCA and vehicle
- Site: Neck
- Frequency of applications: Weekly
- Duration: 0-14 d


During weeks 3 and 4 no treatments were performed.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test item in vaseline or vaseline alone
- Control group: test item in vaseline or vaseline alone
- Site: Flank
- Concentrations: 30 %
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 after removing the dressing
Challenge controls:
No re-challenge performed.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Potassium dichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
After 48 h challenge, 7 out of 10 animals were positive. After 72 hours 6 out of 10 animals were still positive .
