Executive summary:

The maximization test of Magnusson and Kligman was performed on male guinea pigs to determine whether aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate exhibits skin sensitization properties.

This GLP study was performed according to OECD Guideline No. 406.

 

The study was conducted with the following test concentrations.

intradermal induction: 5%

topical induction: 50 %

first challenge: 50 and 25 %

second challenge: 50 and 25 %

Aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate was formulated in sterile physiological saline solution to yield a suspension.

 

After the first challenge the 50 % and 25% aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate formulations led to skin redness in 20 % and 40 % of the test animals respectively There were no skin reactions in the control group.

After the second challenge the 50 % and 25 % aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate formulations led to skin redness in 70 % and 45 % of the test animals, respectively. There were no skin reactions in the control group.

 

Aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate thus exhibits a definitive skin-sensitization potential under the conditions of the maximization test.

 

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)

The study was conducted with the following test concentrations.

first challenge: 50 and 25 %

second challenge: 50 and 25 %

Aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate was formulated in sterile physiological saline solution to yield a suspension.

 

After the first challenge with 50 % and 25% aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate skin redness was recorded in 20 % and 40 % of the test animals, respectively. There were no skin reactions in the control group.

After the second challenge the 50 % and 25 % aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate formulations led to skin redness in 70 % and 45 % of the test animals, respectively. There were no skin reactions in the control group.

 

Aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate thus exhibits a skin-sensitization potential under the conditions of the maximization test.

 


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate is a skin sensitizer in the Maximization Test in guinea pigs.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Study performed according to the respective guideline and GLP and evaluated with Klimisch score 1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate has to be allocated to category 1B of the sensitizing substances according to Regulation 12072 (2008), 2. ATP. With respect to Regualation (EC) 67/548/EWG aminoguanidinium hydrogen carbonate is classified as sensitizer and labelled with R43.
