Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Primary skin irritation screen. Concentrations chosen for use in induction and challenge were to be well-tolerated locally and systemically. They were selected on the following criteria: intradermal injections were not to cause necrosis or ulceration of the skin, topical induction was to cause, at most, a weak or moderate inflammatory response and the concentration used at challenge was to be at the highest sub-irritant level. In the primary skin irritation screen, 4 guinea pigs were used in the intradermal administration, 2 guinea pigs were used in the topical induction, and 3 guinea pigs were used in the challenge administration.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Intradermal injection of 50% v/v SHOP C134 in propylene glycol gave rise to slight or moderate erythema and discolouration; a similar administration of 50% v/v SHOP C134 in FCA casued moderate erythema, discolouration and occasional pallor. Occluded topical induction application of SHOP C134 as supplied gave rise to exfoliation and loss of flexibility.

Challenge application of 1% v/v SHOP C134 in propylene glycol gave rise to eschar formation in 3 test and 3 control animals and slight erythema in further 3 test animals. Fifteen test and 5 control animals showed exfoliation. Challenge application of 0.3% v/v SHOP C134 in propylene glycol gave rise to exfoliation in 3 test and the only reaction to treatment. Challenge application of propylene glycol alone gave rise to exfoliation in 2 animals; no other dermal reaction was evident.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, repeated applications of SHOP C134 did not cause delayed contact hypersensitivity in the guinea-pig.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study using SHOP C134 in propylene glycol, albino guinea-pigs of the Dunkin-Hartley strain (10 male/10 female) were tested by the Magnusson-Kligman Maximisation Test. Twenty guinea pigs (10 male; 10 female) received an intradermal injection of 50% SHOP C134 in propylene glycol. Seven days later the animals were dermally treated in the same area with 100% SHOP C134 (as supplied) and the site was covered with an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. A challenge dose of either 1% or 0.3% SHOP C134 in propylene glycol was dermally administered on day 22, again with occlusive dressing. Test sites were then assessed 24 and 48 hours later. 

 

The intradermal injection of 50% SHOP C134 in propylene glycol caused slight to moderate erythema and discoloration. Undiluted SHOP C134 applied dermally caused exfoliation and loss of flexibility. After the challenge dose, 3 of 10 controls and 6 of 20 test animals treated with 1% SHOP C134 had slight erythema. There were no reactions after challenge with 0.3% SHOP C134 or propylene glycol. Under the conditions of this study, repeated applications of SHOP C134 did not cause delayed contact hypersensitivity in the guinea-pig.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified asreliable without restrictions because it closely followed OECD 406 guidelines and was GLP compliant.
