Title:
Acute toxicity of 1,4-butanediol in laboratory animals.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
1992
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
according to Magnusson and Kligman: Allergic contact dermatitis in the guinea pig. Thomas Publ. Springfield, 1970
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The presence of a publication of a guinea pig maximisation test with 1,4-butanediol made the performance of an LLNA test superfluous.

Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Thirty albino male and female Hartley guinea pigs, body weight 358 ± 36 g, were kept in stainless-steel cages (3 - 4 animals per cage), and had free access to food (LSK, Fodder Plant, Motycz, Poland) and tap water with the addition of vitamin C (400 mg/I).

Details on study design:
The animals were randomly divided into sensitized animals (20) or control group animals (10). In induction procedure, on the basis of preliminary studies, BAD (1,4-butanediol) was applied at a concentration of 10% (intradermal injections) and 30% (topical application). The challenge procedure was done with 10% and 30% BAD (1,4-butanediol).
