Details on study design:
MAIN STUDY: A group of 30 guinea pigs was used for the main study, twenty test and ten control. The bodyweight of each animal was recorded at the start and end of the study.
Two main procedures were involved in the maximisation test; (a) an induction of a response and (b) a challenge of that response.

a) INDUCTION OF A RESPONSE
Day 0: A row of 3 injections (0.1mL each)
a) Freund´s complete adjuvant plus distilled water in ratio 1:1
b) A 1% (w/v) dilution of test material in distilled water
c) A 1% dilution of test material in a 1: a preparation of Freund´s Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water
On day 7:
Same area on shoulder region used previously for intra dermal injections was clipped again and treated with topical application of the test material formulation
(50% W/W in arachis oil B.P.)
The test material formulation (0.2 – 0.3 mL) was applied on filter paper (WHATMAN No. 4: approx. 40mmx20mm) which was held in place by a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approx. 60mmx25mm) and covered with overlapping length of aluminium foil. Patch and oil were further secured by a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal.
This occlusive dressing was kept in place for 48 hours.


Erythematous reactions were quantified 1 and 24 hours following removal of the patches using a 0 – 3 scale.

INDUCTION OF THE CONTROL ANIMALS:
Same procedure for that used for the test animals except that injections were:
i) Freund's complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1
2i) distilled water
3i) Freund's complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1

The topical applications followed the same procedure as for the test animals except that the vehicle alone was applied to the filter paper. Skin reactions were quantified as for the animals.

2) CHALLENGE
Shortly before treatment on Day 21, an area (approx 50mmx70mm) on both flanks of each animal, was clipped free of hair.
A quantity of 0.1 – 0.2 mL of the test material formulation was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal on a square of filter paper which was held in place by a strip of surgical adhesive tape. Vehicle alone was similarly applied to the left shorn flank. The patches were occluded with an overlapping length of aluminium foil and secured by a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal.
After 24 hours, the dressing was carefully cut using blunt-tipped scissors, removed and discarded.

EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTION:
Skin Reactions Observed after topical challenge: Purple coloured staining was occasionally noted at test material sites during challenge. This did not affect evaluation of erythema.
No adverse reactions were noted at the test material and vehicle control sites of the test or control animals at the 24 and 48 hour observations


Skin Reactions Observed after topical challenge: Purple coloured staining was occasionally noted at test material sites during challenge. This did not affect evaluation of erythema.

Challenge controls:
Four preparations of the test material (50%, 25%, 10% and 5% w/w in arachis oil) were applied occlusively to the flanks of two guinea pigs for a period of 24 hours).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Test material produced a 0% (0/20) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material was classified as a non-sensitiser according to CLP labelling regulations: No risk phrase is required.

Executive summary:

A skin sensitisation study was performed according to Magnusson-Kligman method using Freund's complete adjuvant technique to assess (evaluate) the sensitisation potential of Direct Red 83:1.

30 Albino Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were subjected to sensitisation procedures in two stage operation, i.e. an intra-dermal treatment and a topical application. 20 test and 10 control animals were used for the main study. Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentration of test material for the induction and challenge were selected as follows:

Intradermal induction: 1% (w/v) in distilled water

Topical induction: 50% (w/w) in arachis oil B.P.

Topical challenge: 50% (w/w) in arachis oil B.P.

Two main procedures were involved in the maximisation test; (a) an induction of a response and (b) a challenge of that response.

A row of 3 injections (0,1ml each) on each side of the mid-line.

a)      Freund´s complete adjuvant plus distilled water in ratio 1:1

b)      a 1% (w/v) dilution of test material in distilled water

c)      a 1% dilution of test material in a 1:a preparation of Freund´s Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water

The topical applications followed the same procedure as for the test animals except that the vehicle alone was applied to the filter paper. Skin reactions were quantified as for the animals.

 Shortly before treatment on Day 21, an area (approx. 50mmx70mm) on both flanks of each animal, was clipped free of hair.

A quantity of 0.1 – 0.2 mL (50% W/W in arachis oil B.P.) of a challenge dose  was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal on a square of filter paper which was held in place by a strip of surgical adhesive tape. Vehicle alone was similarly applied to the left shorn flank.

10 control guinea pigs were simultaneously exposed to vehicle during the sensitisation phase and they were treated with the test item only in the case of challenge.

The known contact sensitiser, 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenze (DNCB), produced a 94% /17/18) sensitisation rate. This was considered to be satisfactory sensitisation response for this material under the conditions of the test.

Skin reactions after topical induction:

Evaluation of erythema was not possible at all treatment sites of test animals one hour after patch removal and at fifteen treatment sites at the 24-h observation due to dense purple staining. This was also noted at the remaining treated skin sites at this time. This did not affect evaluation of erythema.

 

Skin Reactions Observed after topical challenge: Purple coloured staining was occasionally noted at test material sites during challenge. This did not affect evaluation of erythema.

No adverse reactions were noted at the test material and vehicle control sites of the test or control animals at the 24 and 48 hour observations

 

Bodyweight:

Bodyweight gains of guinea pigs in the test group, between Day 0 and Day 24, were comparable to those observed in the control group animals over the same period

Hence, Direct Red 83:1 produced a 0% (0/20) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material was also classified as a non-sensitiser according to CLP labelling regulations: No risk phrase is required.
