RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intradermal: two guinea pigs injected with 1% and 5% test substance in arachis oil BP. Highest concentration at which only mild to moderate skin irritation was observed and which was well tolerated systemically is selected for the main study: 5%.
Epicutaneous induction: two guinea pigs treated with 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% test material in arachis oil BP (48 hours). Highest concentration at which only mild to moderate skin irritation was observed is selected for the main study: 100%.
Epicutaneous challenge: two guinea pigs treated with 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% test material in arachis oil BP (24 hours). Highest non-irritating concentration and one lower were selected for the main study: 100% and 75%.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Effects noted after induction:

- Discrete or patchy moderate and confluent erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of test and control group animals

- Discrete or patchy erythema noted at topical induction sites of test group animals. Bleeding from intradermal injection sites was noted in 9 test group animals after 1 hour. Control animals: discrete or patchy erythema at topical induction site

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not a skin sensitiser
Remarks:
according to EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its amendments)
Conclusions:
Cyclobutanate is not a skin sensitiser: Under the conditions of this study, a positive skin reaction was seen in 8 out of 20 guinea pigs 24 hours after challenge. These reactions were not considered sensitising, as they were not apparent after 48 hours (sensitisation rate: 0%).
Executive summary:

This Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) was performed according to OECD guideline 406. The sensitising potential of Cyclobutanate was determined. Intradermal induction was performed with 5% Cyclobutanate in arachis oil BP, epicutaneous induction with 100% test material and epicutaneous challenge with concentrations of 100 and 75%. After induction injection discrete/patchy moderate and confluent erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of test and control group animals. Discrete or patchy erythema was also noted after topical induction of test group animals on the induction sites. Bleeding from intradermal injection sites was noted in 9 test group animals after 1 hour. The control animals showed discrete or patchy erythema at topical induction site. At challenge, 8 and 0 out of 20 test group animals (100% Cyclobutanate) showed a positive skin reaction at the 24 and 48 hour reading, respectively. For the control group, this was 1 and 0 out of 10, respectively. In the 75% Cyclobutanate group, 6 and 0 out of 20 animals responded positive after 24 and 48 hours, respectively. In the control group 2 and 0 positive skin reactions were observed, respectively. Under the conditions of this study, a positive skin reaction was seen in 8 out of 20 guinea pigs 24 hours after challenge. These reactions were not considered sensitising, as they were not apparent after 48 hours (sensitisation rate: 0%).
