RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For the intradermal injection, the test article was diluted with aqua ad injectabilia and Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA; batch No. 054K8931, SIGMA, Steinheim) to a final concentration of 5.0%. Two animals were treated, skin reactions were recorded 48 h and 72 h after treatment. For the dermal application, the liquid article was used undiluted. A closed patch exposure was effected by means of an occlusive bandage using cellulose swabs (Pur-Zellin®, Hartmann AG, Heidenheim/Brenz), Leukosilk® (Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg) and non-irritating tape Elastoplast® (Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg), which enveloped the whole animal's trunk. Two animals were employed and skin reactions were recorded 48 and 72 h post application.

According to the results obtained in the preliminary test, the concentrations of the test article used in the main test were 100% (undiluted) for dermal application and 5% for intradermal injection.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: test substance in vehicle (peanut oil)
Injection 3: test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/peanut oil

Epicutaneous: seven days after intradermal induction the previous injection sites were covered occlusively for 48 h with a patch carrying the test article (100%)

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: vehicle (peanut oil)
Injection 3: vehicle (peanut oil) in FCA

Epicutaneous: seven days after intradermal induction the previous injection sites were covered occlusively for 48 h with a patch carrying the vehicle

- Site: either side of spine (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications and duration:
intradermal induction: single application at test start
epidermal induction: seven days after intradermal induction, for 48 hours
- Concentrations: three pairs of intradermal injections 5%, epidermal 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after end of epidermal induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance and vehicle only
- Control group: test substance and vehicle only
- Site: right flank (vehicle) and left flank (test substance)
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (benzocaine, CAS: 94-09-7, Batch 044K0697) in vaseline

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control substance (50% 4-aminobenzoic acid in vaseline) induced positive reactions in 5/10 animals (50%), thus meeting
the reliability criteria for the GPMT test (≥ 30% positive response).
