Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Undiluted test sample (0.3 ml) was applied to two regions of clipped rabbit skin for 1 h under occlusion (Hill Top Chamber, held in place with impervious tape). Within 1 h of removal of the chambers, one site was irradiated with UV A light (320-400 nm; 10 J / square cm) while the other site was protected from irradiation (aluminium foil). Regions of negative (untreated) and positive (1% 8-methoxypsoralen) control skin were exposed concurrently to UV A radiation, and all skin reactions recorded using Draize criteria. Results were presented as the photoirritation index (reflecting the mean irritative response for UV-irradiated skin in the presence or absence of test sample).
GLP compliance:
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The sample had a moderate potential to evoke photoirritation.
Executive summary:

In a photoirritation study, 0.3 mL of the test material (F-136, heavy thermocracked distillate; CAS# 64741-81-7) was dermally administered (undiluted) to the clipped dorsal skin of 5 New Zealand White rabbits and covered under occlusive dressing for a period of 1 hour. The animals were subsequently observed for a period of 3 days.

 

The mean photoirritation index was determined to be 2.8.

 

It was concluded that the heavy thermocracked distillate has a moderate potential to evoke photoirritation.
