OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)

Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The in vivo study data were obtained in studies performed before any in vitro sensitization tests tests had been validated and accepted for regulatory purposes. Additionally, literature data demonstrates that an LLNA method is unreliable for surfactant substance, and may provide false positive results[1]. Therefore, an LLNA method is not deemed reliable for assessing the skin sensitisation of the substance.

Details on study design:
The test was performed according to a modified version of the Magnusson-Kligman Guinea Pig Maximisation Test. This investigation was performed according to HLD test plan P 3/152, 3-rd revision as well as according to the recommended guidelines of the USA Interagency Regulatory
Liaison Group (IRLG, January, 1981).

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Four animals were treated dermally in a preliminary study under occlusiv conditions (exposure period 24 h) with the following concentrations of the sample: epicutaneous: 5%, 20%, 50%. Reading 3 h p.a.
Two animals were treated intradermal: 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5% (aqueous solution). Reading 24 h p.a.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
A.1 INTRADERMAL INJECTION – Performed on Test Day 1
Based on the pretest results, the test item concentration of 5% was selected for intradermal induction in the main study.
An area of dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) were made just within the boundaries of a 4 x 6 cm area in the clipped region as follows:

- Test groups:
1. 0.1 ml Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in water for injection) (Bactoadjuvant Completa H 37 Ra, Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Michigan)
2. 0.1 ml 5 % v/v test substance in Aqua dest.
3. 0.1 ml 5 % v/v test substance in Aqua dest. emulsified in 50 % Adjuvant

- Control group:
1. 0.1 ml Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in water for injection)
2. 0.1 ml aqua dest
3. 0.1 ml Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in aqua dest.)

A.2 EPIDERMAL INDUCTION - Performed one week after intradermal injection
- Volume: 0.5 ml
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Test groups: 10
- Control group: 5
- Site: the same site as for intradermal injection
- Frequency of applications: 1
- Concentrations: 20%
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Control group: aqua dest.
- Concentrations: 5 %
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48h, 72h

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
Since no allergic responses were observed in this MAXIMIZATION test, the test substance is not a dermal sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with the substance in water, young adult Pirbright-White guinea pigs (15 males;10 test and 5 control) were tested using the MAXIMIZATION test method equivalent to OECD Guideline 406.

The maximum compatible concentrations which led to slight irritation after intradermal and dermal application as well as the subirritative dose for the challenge application were determined in pretests. Water was used as vehicle during induction and challenge. Based on the results of the pretests, for the intradermal and epicutaneous induction exposure test substance concentrations of 5% and 20% were used, respectively. The test article concentration for the challenge application was 5%.

No allergic skin reactions were observed in test animals 48 and 72 hours after the challenge exposure. No findings were observed in control animals.

The sensitisation rate, i.e. the number of animals showing an allergic response expressed as a percentage of the total number of animals, was 0 %.

In this study, the substance is not a dermal sensitizer.
