Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Range finding studies were conducted to select the appropriate concentration for induction and challenge exposures.
Animals were inspected 24 and 48 h after dosing for signs of necrosis and ulceration. The concentration that produced only local necrosis (i.e., no extensive necrosis or ulceration) was used for the intradermal induction. The highest concentration that produced only mild irritation was appropriate for the epicutaneous induction, and the highest concentration that did not produce irritation was used for the epicutaneous challenge.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single
- Exposure period: epicutaneous induction – 48hours
- Test groups: 20 guinea pigs
- Control group: no data
- Site: shoulder
- Frequency of applications: single
- Duration: epicutaneous induction – 48 hours
- Concentrations: 0.1ml intradermal induction injections containing 50% (v/v) Freunds complete adjuvant (FCA) water emulsion, 5% test material, and the test material in FCA/water emulsion or FCA/water emulsion.
Epicutaneous induction - 0.2 ml of 50% test chemical

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single
- Day(s) of challenge: single
- Exposure period:24 hours
- Test groups: 20 guinea pigs
- Control group:
- Site: untreated site (right flank)
- Concentrations: 25% test chemical
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): The sites inspected for signs of irritation 24-48 h after removal of the occlusive dressings

OTHER: Irritation control animals, five male and five female guinea pigs, received the same challenge procedures as in the definitive sensitization study, but did not have preceding intradermal and/or epicutaneous induction procedures. This allowed differentiation between primary skin irritation due to the test material, and those produced by a hypersensitivity reaction.

Grading of Irritation:
Skin responses were evaluated according to a scale as follows:
Evaluation of Skin Responses:
No reaction = 0
Very slight (barely perceptible) erythema, usually non-confluent= 0.5
Slight (well-defined) erythema, usually confluent = 1
Moderate erythema = 2
Severe erythema, with or without edema, necrosis, or eschar formation = 3
Edema and necrosis or eschar formation was noted when present. Erythema or edema at the challenge site of any of the observations greater than that seen in the irritation control animals was considered an allergic response. In general, scores of 1 or greater were considered clearly indicative of sensitization. Scores of 0.5 were considered equivocal, although a high percentage of 0.5 scores with no response in irritation control animals would be considered suggestive of sensitization.
To compare the relative sensitizing potencies, the responses were normalized as follows:
normalized response = %response / [(epicutaneous induction concentration)*(challenge concentration)]
Challenge controls:
no data available

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Sensitizing
Conclusions:
The skin sensitization response for the test chemical was 2 5% when tested in 19 guinea pigs. The normalized skin sensitization response was 0.020.
The test chemical appeared to be moderate sensitizer based on the normalized response
Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be sensitizer to the skin of Dunkin Hartley Haz:(DH)fBR albino male and female guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The dermal sensation potential of the test chemical was evaluated in guinea pigs following the method described by Magnusson and Kligman. 10 male and 10 female Dunkin Hartley Haz:(DH)fBR albino male and female guinea pigs weighing 278-444 grams were used for the study.Range finding studies were conducted to select the appropriate concentration for induction and challenge exposures.

Animals were inspected 24 and 48 h after dosing for signs of necrosis and ulceration. The concentration that produced only local necrosis (i.e., no extensive necrosis or ulceration) was used for the intradermal induction. The highest concentration that produced only mild irritation was appropriate for the epicutaneous induction, and the highest concentration that did not produce irritation was used for the epicutaneous challenge.

The concentrations obtained for the test chemical were – 5% intradermal induction, 50% epicutaneous induction,25% epicutaneous challenge. In the main sensitization study,0.1ml intradermal induction injections containing 50% (v/v) Freunds complete adjuvant (FCA) water emulsion, 5% test material, and the test material in FCA/water emulsion or FCA/water emulsion were injected on 2 sites each of the clipped shoulder skin of guinea pigs. After 7 days of intradermal induction, epicutaneous inductions were performed. 0.2 ml of 50% test chemical was applied in saturation to a 2*4cm filter paper, which was then placed on the test site and secured with a tape. The patches were left in place for 48 hours and after removal of the patches, the skin was wiped free of the excess test material. During the challenge phase, 25% test chemical was soaked in 2*2 cm filter paper squares was applied to a previously untreated site(right flank) 14 days after epicutaneous induction. Patches were left in place for 24 hours, and the sites were inspected for signs of irritation and scored 24 -48 hours after removal of patches.

The skin sensitization response for the test chemical was 2 5% when tested in 19 guinea pigs. The normalized skin sensitization response was 0.020.

The test chemical appeared to be moderate sensitizer based on the normalized response

Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be sensitizer to the skin of Dunkin Hartley Haz:(DH)fBR albino male and female guinea pigs.
