Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- The paper provides a comparison of GPMT and LLNA designs for assessment of sensitising potential rather than a method for assessing the sensitisation potential of succinic acid. Succinic acid is included as one of the range of test materials under consideration but the results are used to compare the relative merits of the two study designs.

Any other information on results incl. tables
No signs of systemic toxicity were observed. Succinic acid caused skin reactions in two animals of the treatment group, one showing a reaction only at 24 h after patch removal and another only at 72 h. One animal of the control group showed a skin reaction of the same grade and time course, i.e., a grade 1 reaction at 24 h, but not at 48 and 72 h.
Neither of the two animals of the treatment group displayed a skin reaction upon re-challenge, supporting the conclusion that the reactions in these animals (as that of the control group) were non-specific, i.e., not caused by a specific immune reaction.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Succinic acid was non-sensitising in the guinea pig maximisation test.
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of one saturated and eight unsaturated lipid biochemicals was tested in a LLNA and guinea pig Maximisation test for comparative purposes to test the hypothesis that chemicals with unsaturated carbon-carbon double bonds may give a higher false positive rate in LLNA results than in the GPMT.
Succinic acid was non-sensitising in the GPMT.
The relative merits of the two assays are further discussed in the paper but are not directly relevant to the assessment of succinic acid sensitising potential.
