Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A. Intradermal induction pilot study in two animals
- Test concentrations: 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, 3.1 and 3.9% a.i.
- Results: 3.9% of the test substance was chosen for the main study, since it was well tolerated systemically and the highest concentration causing slight to mild skin irritation in the animals 24 h after application.

B. Epicutaneous induction and challenge pilot study in two animals (tested on the same animals as in the intradermal induction pilot study)
Test concentrations: 19.7 and 78.7% a.i. (undiluted) (animal 1); 39.4 and 59% a.i. (animal 2)
-Results: 1 mL of the undiluted test substance was chosen for the topical induction because it was well tolerated systemically and the highest concentration causing slight to mild skin irritation in the animals 24 h after application. One mL of the test substance at 19.7% was chosen for challenge, since it was well tolerated systemically and the highest dose causing no skin reaction.

MAIN STUDY

Injection 2: test substance at 3.9% a.i in deionised water
Injection 3: 3.9% a.i. formulation of the test substance on a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/deionised water
Epicutaneous: undiluted test substance (78.7% a.i.)

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/deionised water
Injection 2: deionised water
Injection 3: 50% v/v formulation of vehicle (deionised water) on a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/deionised water
Epicutaneous: sham exposure (empty patches)

- Site: shoulder region (intradermal and epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: 7 days (Day 0 and Day 7)
- Duration: Days 0-9
- Concentrations: intradermal 3.9% a.i., epicutaneous 78.7% a.i. (undiluted)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance in deionised water
- Control group: test substance in deionised water
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 19.7% a.i.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72 (i.e. 24 and 48 h after removal of patches)
Challenge controls:
The control group actually serves the purpose of a challenge control. No true challenge control included.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The reliability check with the positive control substance alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (85%, technical grade) was performed in April 2012. In this study, alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (intradermal induction: 5% v/v; topical induction: 100% v/v; challenge: 25% v/v) induced discrete or patchy erythema (grade 1) and moderate and confluent erythema (grade 2) in 45% of the treated animals that persisted at both 48 and 72 h observation time points after challenge application. Therefore, treatment with the positive control alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde met the reliability criteria for the GPMT (≥ 30% positive responses).

Any other information on results incl. tables

Only treated animals presented skin reactions (moderate and confluent erythema) in the intradermal induction application. However, the observed skin reactions were due to skin irritation rather than sensitisation. Treated and control animals presented no skin reactions in the topical induction and challenge applications. No behavioral alterations were observed in the treated animals.

Conclusion:

The epidermal application of the test substance using deionised water as vehicle did not cause skin sensitisation in guinea pigs according to the Magnusson & Kligman Test Method.
