In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
Dunkin-Hartley
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Species: Albino guinea pig, Dunkin Hartley strain, (SPF-quality). Recognized by international guidelines as the recommended test system
(e.g. OECD, EC).
Source: Charles River France, L’arbresle Cedex, France
Number of animals: Experimental group: 10 females. Control group: 5 females. (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant).
Age: Young adult animals (approx. 4-6 weeks old) were selected.
Identification: Ear tattoo.
Health inspection: At least prior to dosing. It was ensured that the animals were healthy and
that the skin to be treated was intact and free from any abnormality.

Environmental controls for the animal room were set to maintain 18 to 24°C, a relative humidity of 40
to 70%, approximately 15 room air changes/hour, and a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Any
variations to these conditions were maintained in the raw data and had no effect on the outcome of the
study.
Accommodation
Group housing of maximally 5 animals per labeled Noryl cage (Tecniplast; 74 cm x 54 cm x 25 cm
height) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Litalabo, S.P.P.S., Argenteuil, France and
from 27th November 2013 onwards: Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG,
Rosenberg, Germany) and shelters (CS3B02A Play tunnels (90 mm x 5 mm x 125 mm), Datesand,
Manchester, UK) as cage enrichment. The acclimatization period was at least 5 days before the start
of treatment under laboratory conditions.
Diet
Complete maintenance diet for guinea pigs (SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany). In
addition, hay (TecniLab-BMI BV, Someren, The Netherlands) was provided at least twice a week.
Water
Free access to tap water.

Diet, water, bedding and cage enrichment evaluation for contaminants and/or nutrients was performed
according to facility standard procedures. There were no findings that could interfere with the study.

Details on study design:
The test substance formulations (w/w) were prepared within 4 hours prior
to each treatment. No adjustment was made for specific gravity of the
vehicle. Homogeneity was obtained to visually acceptable levels. No
correction was made for purity/composition of the test substance.
A preliminary irritation study was conducted in order to select test substance concentrations to be
used in the main Study. Ffive animals were selected. The starting- and subsequent concentrations were
taken from the series: 100% (undiluted), 50%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2%, 1% in corn oil as vehicle.
The test system and procedures were identical to those used during the main study.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Alpha- Hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The skin reactions observed in all experimental animals in response to the 20% positive control substance
concentration in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitisation, since these
responses were absent or less severe in the control group. These results lead to a sensitization
rate of 90 per cent to the 20% positive control substance concentration.
From these results, it was concluded that the female guinea pig of the Dunkin Hartley strain is
an appropriate animal model for the performance of studies designed to evaluate the sensitizing
potential of a substance in a Maximization type of test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on these results N-(2-Ethylhexyl)-isononan-1-amide does not have to be classified as sensitizer and has no
obligatory labelling requirement for sensitization by skin contact according to the:
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United
Nations (2007) (including all amendments),
- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures
(including all amendments).
Executive summary:

Assessment of potential contact hypersensitivity to N-(2-Ethylhexyl)-isononan-1-amide in the albino guinea pig was carried out based on OECD test guideline 406 using the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman in its most recent revision. The test substance concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 50% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 100% concentration. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (corn oil). Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 100% test substance concentration and the vehicle. Scaliness was observed on the test substance treated skin area for one experimental animal at 48 hours after removal of the dressing. No skin reactions were evident in the other experimental animals and in control animals. The skin reactions (only scaliness) observed in response to a 100% test substance concentration in one (of the ten) experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitization, based on the absence of any response in the control animals. These results indicate a conservatively judged sensitization rate of 10 per cent. Based on these results N-(2-Ethylhexyl)-isononan-1-amide does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for sensitization by skin contact according to the: - Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007) (including all amendments), - Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (including all amendments).
