Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Reliability of the experimental technique is checked periodically in about six-month interval by the experiment with known sensitiser benzocaine. For intradermal application the 5% concentration in olive oil was used and the challenge exposure was performed by the same concentration in vaselina alba. The result of last experiment (March 2006): positive skin reaction – 4 animals (total number of animals = 10) i.e. 40%. According to the guideline the minimal number of animals with positive skin reaction is expected to be 30%. The result is satisfactory.
The results of reference study test are described in VUOS-CETA internal report No. 0643.

Body weight

The body weight of animals was recorded one day before the first application (day 0) and after observation of skin reaction (day 24). The average of group was counted from individual body weight values of animals.

Evaluation of skin reaction after induction

Intradermal injections

The skin reaction evaluation of the test area of all animals from the exposed group showed moderate erythema around the sites of intradermal injections puncture. These changes faded away after 48 hours.

The skin reaction evaluation of the test area of all animals from control group showed discrete erythema around first sites of intradermal injections puncture. These changes faded away after 24 hours.

 

Topical application The evaluation of skin reactions of exposed group showed in all animals a moderate confluent erythema without oedema in the test area with fade-out time 72 hours.The evaluation of skin reactions in control group with vaseline did not show any changes in skin of all animals.

 

Evaluation of skin reactions after challenge

Exposed group at 48 hours after the challenge

The evaluation of skin reactions in the exposed group carried out at 48 hoursafter the start of the challenge phase of study did not show any changes on skin of exposed left flank of animals. The other flank of the animals applied with the vaseline only, did not show any skin reactions in all the 20 animals.

 

Exposed group at 72 hours after the challenge

The evaluation of skin reactions in the exposed group carried out at72 hours after the start of challenge phase of study did not show any changes in skin of the exposed flank of all animals. The other flank did not show any changes in skin of all the 20 animals.

 

Control group at 48 and 72 hours after the challenge

   The evaluation of skin reactions in the control groupcarried out at 48 and 72 hours after the start of the challenge phase of study did not show any changes in skin of animals in both flanks.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
The exposed animals showed no pathological skin reactions and no other negative clinical symptoms throughout the experiment.
The body weight of animals increased throughout the study and it was not affected by the treatment. In the course of experiment the animals did not show any clinical symptoms of intoxication.
The test substance, Potassium permanganate, was not shown to be a contact allergen in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The test substance,Potassium permanganate,was tested for the assessment of skin allergic effects using albino guinea pigs (strain BFA).

 

      The test was performed according to the OECD Test Guideline No. 406, Skin sensitisation, which is analogous to the EU Method B.6, Skin sensitisation.

 

    The Magnusson and Kligman maximization procedure was followed. The test was performed on albino guinea pigs (12 males and 23 females).

    The experiment proceeded in three phases: two induction phases - topical application and the challenge phase. Potential skin reactions were evaluated at the end of experiment.

    The exposed animals showed no allergic skin reactions and no other negative clinical symptoms throughout the experiment.

    

     The test substance, Potassium permanganate, was not shown to be a contact allergen in guinea pigs.
