OTHER: - Challenge controls:
- On day 22, the animals of both groups received an application of 0.5 ml of the undiluted
test substance to the posterior right flank, and 0.5 ml of the vehicle to the posterior left flank.
This application was performed using a 1 ml plastic syringe (0.01 ml graduations,
Térumo: CML, 77140 Nemours, France). The test substance or the vehicle was placed on a dry
gauze pad (Coopérative Pharmaceutique Française, 77000 Melun, France), which was then
applied to a 4 cm2 (2 cm x 2 cm) clipped area of the skin.
The pad was held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by means of an occlusive, hypoallergenic
dressing (Laboratoires de Pansements et d'Hygiène, 21300 Chenove, France) and an adhesive
anallergenic waterproof plaster (Laboratoire des Professions Médicales, 92240 Malakoff,
France).
On removal of the dressing, no residual test substance was observed. - Positive control substance(s):

- Conclusions:
- Under our experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance BUTYLAL does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.
- Executive summary:
At the request of Société Lambiotte, Bruxelles, Belgium, the potential of the test substance BUTYLAL to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity was evaluated in guinea-pigs according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman and to OECD (No. 406, 17th July 1992) and EC (92/69/EEC, B6, 31st July 1992) guidelines. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.
Methods
Thirty guinea-pigs were allocated to two groups: a control group 1 (five males and five females) and a treated group 2 (ten males and ten females).
On day 1, intradermal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant mixed with the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) were performed in the interscapular region.
On day 7, the same region received a topical application of sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline (10% w/w) in order to induce local irritation.
On day 8, this same test site received a cutaneous application of the test substance (treated group) or the vehicle (control group) and was then covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
On day 22, after a rest period of 12 days, all animals of the treated and control groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test substance to the right flank. The left flank served as control and received the vehicle only. Test substance and vehicle were maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing.
Test substance concentrations were as follows:
Induction (treated group)
⋅ intradermal injections: BUTYLAL at the concentration of 10% (w/w) in paraffin oil
⋅ topical application: BUTYLAL undiluted.
Challenge (all groups)
⋅ topical application: BUTYLAL undiluted.
At the end of the study, animals were killed without examination of internal organs.
No skin samples were taken from the challenge application sites.
The sensitivity of the guinea-pigs in CIT experimental conditions was checked with positive sensitizers DNCB and Mercaptobenzothiazole.
During the induction period, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentrations of 0.1% (w/w) (day 1) and 1% (w/w) (day 8). The reference substance Mercaptobenzothiazole was applied at the concentrations of 1% (w/w) (day 1) and 20% (w/w) (day 8).
For the challenge application, the reference substance DNCB was applied at the concentration of 1% (w/w). The reference substance Mercaptobenzothiazole was applied at the concentration of 20% (w/w).
The interpretation of results was carried out according to the classification criteria laid down in Council Directive 93/21/EEC (27th April 1993) adapting to technical progress for the eighteenth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC.
Results
No clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study.
No well-defined cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application.
The species and strain which were used showed a satisfactory sensitization response in 90% animals treated with DNCB and in 30% animals treated with Mercaptobenzothiazole.
Conclusion
Under our experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance BUTYLAL does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.
According to the classification criteria laid down in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, the test substance should not be classified as sensitizing to the skin.
Reference
No clinical signs and no mortality were observed during the study.
The body weight gain of the treated animals was normal when compared to that of the control animals
On day 10, after the cutaneous application of the induction period, signs of irritation were observed at the interscapular test site in the control and treated groups.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:

Justification for classification or non-classification
BUTYLAL does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.therefore it doesn't trigger a classification
