- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Range finding tests for induction were performed using 4 males. Due to the high pH value and the expected local irritancy the hightest concentration used in one animal was 25%.
For Induction:
- tested in one animal: 0.5 ml of 0%, 6%, 12% and 25% of the test item in saline were applied occlusively to the skin for 6 hours. Slight redness (grade 1) was seen 30 hours after treatment with 12%.
- tested in three further animals: 0.5 ml of 0%, 3%, 6% and 12% of the test item in saline were applied occlusively to the skin for 6 hours. Slight redness (grade 1) was seen 30 hours after treatment with 12% in one animal.
Based on the results of the range-finding study the concentration selected for inductions was 12%.
For Challenge:
Range finding tests for challenge were performed using 2 animals which were treated in the same manner als the control animals during induction.
- tested in two animals: 0.5 ml of 0%, 0.5%, 3%, and 6% of the test item in saline were applied occlusively to the skin for 6 hours. No signs of irritation occured.
Based on the results of the range-finding study the concentration selected for challenge was 6%.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- the animals were treated with the test item three times at intervals of seven days. The suitable areas of the body were shaved one day (24 hours) before each treatment. The volume applied per animal was 0.5 m on a hypoallergic patch and held in place on the skin with an adhesive plaster. After six hours the patches were removed and any remaining test item was washed off the skin with physiological saline solution. Treatment areas were vusally assessed 30 hours after initiation of exposure.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- the animals were treated with the test item four weeks after the first (two weeks after the last) dermal induction. Backs and right flanks were shaved one day before challenge. The test item (6% in saline) applied per animal was 0.5 m on a hypoallergic patch and held in place on the right flank with an adhesive plaster. Six hours after treatment the patches were removed and any remaining test item was washed off the skin with physiological saline solution. 24 hours later the treatment areas were shorn.
Skin reactions were assessed 30 and 54 hours after the beginning of the challenge.
OTHER:
In addition to the skin reactions the following data were recorded: Mortality/ Clinical signs once daily; Body weights prior to start, on day 30 and at termination of the study. - Challenge controls:
- As a control a patch loaded only with the vehicle was applied and fixed also to the right flank, cranial to the test item patch.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Reliability check of Buehler test with alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde in polyethylene glycol 400 revealed a sensitization rate of 65% (test substance concentration 40% for induction and 20% for challenge).

- Migrated information
- Executive summary:
A skin sensitization test according to OECD guideline 406 (Buehler Patch Test) was conducted on female guinea pigs with 12% AAS-Loesung in saline (60 mg/animal) for dermal induction. For challenge test a concentration of 6% in saline was applied. 30 and 54 hours after start of challenge exposure the treated sites were assessed. The challenge with the test item let to slight skin effects (grade 1) in 1 of 20 animals after 30 hours and in 0 of 20 animals after 54 hours. Under the conditions of the Buehler Test AAS-Loesung exhibits no skin sensitization potential.
Reference
The animals in the test item group and in the control group showed no clinical signs of toxicity.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
The substance did not show any skin sensitizing properties in Guinea pigs. There is no reason to believe that results obtained in Guinea pigs would not be applicable to humans.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
The substance showed no skin sensitizing properties in a Buehler Patch Test on Guinea pigs (OECD Guideline 406, GLP compliant).
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
only one study available
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
There is not any indication that AAS may cause respiratory sensitization. There is not any respective human evidence. An internally performed OECD Toolbox inquiry confirmed that based on the chemical structure of the compound there is no indication for a respiratory sensitization potential and no indication for a protein binding activity. In addition the compound was shown to be not sensitizing to Guinea pig skin in a Guideline- and GLP-compliant test system. Thus, there is no evidence for a skin sensitization potential and by that no evidence of a sensitization potential in general.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data and in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the substance is not classified for skin or respiratory sensitization.
